Here are some likenesses of demons pretending to be gods. Traditional Taiwanese religion is a mixture of Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucian philosophy. There is a heavy emphasis on appeasing the spirits which could be “gods” or ancestors or even demons.
I used to think all these idols and legends were just inventions of men, made up as a way for charlatans and scammers to get money and power from unwitting people. Certainly some of them were created in this way, but I now believe that many of the “gods” were real, except they were actually demons masquerading as deities.
For those who don’t know, demons are fallen angels who are in rebellion against God and want nothing more than to corrupt God’s most precious creation- humanity.
