Scared of demons??

Scared of demons??
Okiedokie, well I was raised in a very religious family and I am a closeted atheist. As a young kiddo I believed in Christianity due to the heavy indoctrination however I find myself facing some anxiety that doesn't make sense to me . I am afraid of demons. I know they don't exist but sometimes I will have this anxiety type thing at night for 15 minutes about demons and it takes some serious reassurance to myself that there is no such thing. As kid I believed what ever I was brought up to believe with the whole"mummy was right about the oven being hot thus she must be right about there being demons" thing. Can somebody help me get over this irrational fear?

It's natural to feel

It's natural to feel lingering fears from childhood beliefs; our minds can hold onto what we've been taught deeply. Facing these fears with logic and understanding can help. Also, for a fun distraction, check out the exciting Wacky Flip game—a thrilling way to unwind!

I’ve been spending way too

I’ve been spending way too much time on my phone just scrolling through social media and it felt pointless. I wanted to find a new hobby that was a bit more engaging and fun for my spare time at home. I tried Canplay Casino and it was a great choice. For residents in Canada they provide a very safe environment and some of the best live dealer games. It was a very fun experience and I’ll definitely be back for more.
