   So are 'minds' capable of being 'possessed' by 'angels',   
   'spirits', 'daemons', or 'demons'?   
      
   Are 'lesser gods' in 'polytheist' religions the same as   
   'angels' in some Abrahamic religions or is that totally   
   different?   
      
   Are the 'memes' of Dawkins the same as 'angels' or   
   'spirits' for various religions?   
      
   If several exorcists were to try to 'expel the demon   
   of atheism' from Dawkins could he fight back with   
   a 'vast barrage of memes', and would that be pretty much   
   the same thing?   
      
   Who can really know, who can understand?
