Deleted:

a daemon is the same thing as a demon

um no they are not, copied right out of Daemon (classical mythology)'s lead: "The words daemon, dæmon, are Latinized spellings of the Greek δαίμων (daimôn) used purposely today to distinguish the daemons of Ancient Greek religion and mythology, Hellenistic religion and philosophy, good or malevolent "supernatural beings between mortals and gods, such as inferior divinities and ghosts of dead heroes" (see Plato's Symposium), from the Judeo-Christian usage demon, a malignant spirit that can seduce, afflict, or possess humans" Smitty1337 (talk) 23:02, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
