>'As Muslims, we believe in what we call 'Qareen' ( literally means 'companion') which is basically a type of Jinn (demon) that is somewhat a part of you, but also is autonomous and thinks independently and will live on long after you die (they pretend to be the souls of the dead person they used to be with, when people naively try to communicate with their dead ones) He is feral, dark, and mischievous and all around an extremely bad influence over you. And his sole purpose is to drive you as far away from God as possible!.....The closer you are to God, practice selflessness, do good, help others, stay honest to yourself...etc, the more subdued your Qareen becomes and the easier it is for you to control him and shut his hisses and whims down. The more selfish you are, indulge in hedonistic desires, give in to temptations, hurt people and do bad things, the more prevalent he becomes in your mind, and the more power and control he has over you and your decisions.'

VERY interesting. That sounds exactly like 'them' ('Automators'). I think I may have found a new kind of respect for the Muslims. Somewhat. There's still the whole pedophilia, sharia and extremism thing. But a new respect regardless. The desert larp religions are in a three-way tie. Lolz.

There aren't evil spirits that stay with you your whole life (with rare exceptions), much less that are 'part' of you. That sounds more like a way of dismissing any ghost contact as something of the devil.
