I have a certain respect for those who attempt to explain otherwise inexplicable miracles by invoking demons. Sometimes, that’s the best you have. Sometimes, naturalistic explanations just can’t do the job.
There’s a certain strain of anti-Mormonism — most famously exemplified, I suppose, by the notorious charlatan and mountebank Ed Decker, but also featuring other zany madcaps besides — that takes this route.
The trouble is that such explanations soon run into the scriptural principle of judging a tree by its fruit (e.g., at Luke 6:43-44).
The critics just can’t seem to catch a break.
