Most 'atheists' cannot or will not, even for a second, try to imagine what believing in God feels like. It feels like trying to imagine the perspective from an insane or retarded person. It's not that crazy... It's similar to the belief of believing in Santa Claus.

The demonic interpretation feels easier not because it is more "Real", but because we use our "Right" hand more often than our "Left". It's just as possible to cast everyone in an angelic light if you put in the effort to learn the trick

Much of the "Love your neighbor" spiel doesn't actually account for this difficulty. It's the same difficulty as learning a foreign language, or piano, or flying a plane.

Being able to say "Ni Hao" or "Hola" doesn't mean you know chinese or spanish. You have to be able to "think" within the angelic framework, not just acknowledge its existence with a cheap trick.

It's like sliding on a skateboard and declaring that you know how to skateboard. The angelic framework is a constant process and struggle just like language, music, art. No one except a beginner thinks these are finite skills to "Know". They're neverending stories.

Note that the 'angelic framework' isn't 'good' btw. The reality is more like the particle/wave distinction. Neither is "good" (since reality is amoral) but each has its purpose.

If you're seeing everyone as angels for example, you're not enlightened, you're gullible and naive. But if you're seeing everyone as demons, you're paranoid and schizophrenic.

Once you master both Order and Chaos and can wield the powers of Yin and Yang interchangeably you gain the final power of True Sight. You can see humans as humans.
