fairy vs demon

Two worlds exist: the otherworld and the mundane world. Common mythologies tell us that, in addition to many gods who assume powers over nature, there are the demons and especially the little inhabits of the otherworld, fairies.I personally feel much more for the fairy. The fairy, who appears in tales and fables, has a much more subtle and powerful magic to them, ascribed through the use of symbolism, the images of rafts and waters--and so on: I digress. Contention one: Fairies have numerous origins, many of which are a status above that of demonsA common belief of fairies is that they are a class of demoted angels who were too impure to remain in heaven, after our Father closed his gates to the fallen beings, but too pure for hell. In this case, fairies are subject to the Devil (who is excluded from this argument). It is common to say, ever since the stories of his fall, that with the devil fell one-third of the host of heaven. From this, I will make the following mini-arguments: 1. The hierarchy of angels is: seraphs, the messegers and pronouncers of god'sglory, cherubs, thrones, dominions, archangels, and so on. Judging solely fromthe characterization of the devil in medieval and Renaissance works as atricksters, a proud being, and a worker of macchintions and lies, I argue thatthe fairies, who, according to this belief, retained their purity, are more higher in the angel hierarchy...The virtues and the heavenly governors, and especiallythe seraphs and so forth, who are close to the glory of God, are supposed less vulnerable to temptations and lies than their servants. Another belief is that fairies were pagan deities (in Celtic tradition) who subsided to the authority of the Lord after their reign. For an instance, let us define what a god, the synonym of deity, is: (dictionary.com) "one of several deities...presiding over some portion of worldly affairs." A demon is merely "an evil spirit" who works harm but whose powers are limited. (arguments may rest on whether or not the pagan deities, of classical mythology--for example, are more or less powerful than the demon or servant of the devil). The word "deity" itself is associated with a sense of ethereal, heavenly power that is far superior to that of the demon or devil...Contention 2: The fairy's weaknesses are few compared to that of the demon.Fairies are vulnerable mainly to iron, which, according to common mythology, is like poison to them. However, they are not fearful of the church's bells, or the cross, holy items, or the presence of the priest as demons are. Contention 3: Good triumphs over evil.The basic stories have been that the forces of light, wise, careful, and powerful, have triumphed from now and then against the forces of darkness. Several examples include: 1. the triumph of Zeus, arguable the force of light--due to his connections with heaven, justice, order, and thunder, against Typhos, the child of Gaea and the storm giant after the Titans 2. the overthrow of Lucifer, the epitome of rebellion and chaos, by the hand of God 3. the classic story of Faust (Goethe) 4. numerous fairy tales in which the trapped prince, by a witch or evil spirit, or princess is freed and the villain defeatedand so on. I do not think that fairies, who are connected with innocence and beauty, along with mischevious behavior, and childhood, are not exempt from this. Nor are the demons who, among others, encourage sorcery and witchcraft, sin (sloth, greed, and so on), violence, and are known for their animalistic bodies exempt from this either. Therefore, the fairies, the force of good, would triumph over the penultimate forces of darkness. (In addition, here are the requirements and details of the debate:--remember, this is a purely strict debate. Classical mythology, and other religious mythologies, may be used to back up one's claims. In the end, the ultimate goal is to provide enough evidence whether or not older mythologies (not that of shows or comics--please) demonstrate which of the two, the fairy or demon, is more powerful and superior.--This is not a debate of epic proportions. We won't be discussing stem cells, have arguments over the Messiah, the trinity, or any other religious controversy. It is just, in my opinion, a frivolous debate.)I hope that we will have more time, in the next four rounds, to argue about our cases and provide more information than in the opening round.(Source: "Fairy" www. wikipidea.com.)For any comments on my sources, RoyLatham, please write them in your argument.
