Dangerous Non-Human Consciousnesses Are Not Irrational
Given that consciousness may interact with the material world in many ways, it is perfectly reasonable to believe in the existence of consciousnesses different from our own that are morally very dangerous, and the literature on demonology is suggestive in that sense, though belief in a demon's interference implies nothing flattering about the person experiencing it.

“if you think that that a demon is operating in your life it doesn't imply that the demon is after you because you're doing the right thing... the idea of demonology is used by people in a lot of historical context to essentially sacralize themselves and demonize their enemies”
