I'd hesitate to speculate on what Jay Edward or any other poster thinks, but I will share my own thoughts on the matter. 

First, just because a belief system isn't Christian doesn't mean it is automatically demonic. Like any religion with deep historic roots and a large membership (including Christianity), Hinduism has a mixed record, but it would be unfair not to acknowledge all the good that has been done throughout the world by Hindus.

Secondly, the difference between faith and magic is that faith is based on trust in God's goodness, and magic is based on the belief that the physical world can be manipulated by certain words and actions. The notion that a person enters the realm of the demonic just by assuming a certain pose smacks of magic, not faith.

As for the Demon Deacons, I'll confess to having a soft spot since their Men's Basketball Coach is KU legend Danny Manning. One must bow to royalty.
