This is a little out of my realm, but is it possible to kill a demon?
Nope. A human, live or dead cannot kill demons. A demon is neither living or dead in our definition of life and death. Our rules of existence don't apply to demons. Well, so they say anyway...
You can in the realm of fiction though...a pet dog/cat/ferret can, in fiction.
I have done some small research and they all note the same thing. A demon is not a living thing that could be killed.
As part of my research: I'm selling my soul on e-bay but Satan's credit is bad right now and no demon wants to purchase a soul of a Puerto Rican....I guess it's like bringing sand to a beach.
Run a thorough search on AZ'ZA'ZEL(or Azazhel,or Azazel) and the Arch Angel RAPHAEL. You will find some interesting pieces of information, and theories.
Also research THE WATCHERS from the books ENOCH the prophet. Enoch 1 & 2....these texts failed to make it into the CANNON of the Church. Crazy sh*t in them....great story fodder though.
Not really. The idea of their existence pretty much revolves around their being outside our 'logic' and 'understanding'
Not human...not in any religious text are they subject to the laws of our physical world-they have no physical form, essentially. Well, other than possessions anyway. Demons apparently can't be killed by Exorcists...just ran-off, so to speak.
I think aliens are demons, and vice versa. No, I actually don't think that.
Whether you believe in something or not, it does not change the "nature" of what that "is", as defined by myth, religion, fiction, Wikipedia, etc. Different realities come with different rules. Regardless of what fiction you are making up, you have to create an inherent reality within that fiction. Demons do have a definition. I'm not familiar with their characteristics around the world, but at least in terms of Christianity, they are evil spirits that possess an earthly body and when cast out typically go inhabit another nearby form --animal for instance. So right there, they are not ghosts. Big difference. They need to inhabit a physical being. And clearly a bullet or knife will not harm them, as they are immaterial and don't just haunt a house, for instance.
Anyway, this is basic research, but for those who say, "Demons don't exist so you can do whatever you want," sorry, that's utter bullshhhit. There is basic language needed to tell certain stories.
Among the many resources available, in terms of fiction I would advise you to check out THE X-FILES, I'm sure there have probably been episodes that have delt with demons. Not certain, but just guessing.
