I'm working on a video game project involving demons, like the weird little dudes from a Christian understanding of Hell. I've been asking people around me what they think of demons, and I'm learning that basically everyone has weird ideas (myself included)! What's your take on demons?

BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda. Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them. I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.
