My wife used to be Buddhist and she says that sometimes they will summon Devils on people as this happens a bit in Mongolia. I do not want this and I am not sure if God would allow the devil to bring havoc to the family so maybe I should send them stuff without a return address so the devil will not know how to find me. What say you?
Again witnessing to world religions is different than calling the savage wolves in the church to repentance so my approach would be entirely different. I would probably also send A God Loves you tract.

Lyin' fer Jebus again... as usual.
Also, no thanks, I don't want your Chick Tract.
I say that either you or your wife is full of shit.
Everyone in this world that can read English already knows about God and Jesus, numbskull!
"maybe I should send them stuff without a return address so the devil will not know how to find me."
Well there ya go. Don't have a phone number, or address or email or credit cards or social security number and the devil won't even know you exist.
"maybe I should send them stuff without a return address so the devil will not know how to find me. What say you? "
So what IS the address of hell these days? What address would you "send them stuff" at? What is the required postage for sending something first class to hell? I looked on the USPS web site and didn't find anything. Does sending something to hell require special fireproof envelopes?
Sounds like a plan. Supernatural beings are easily fooled by the USPS.
Just like Christianity, Buddhism has made some adjustments to the local religions. That means you're going to find different sets of "demons," nature spirits and minor gods in Tibet, Mongolia, Japan, Thailand, etc. More educated Buddhists ignore them.

So the devil can make himself invisible, wreck havoc on your family and spy on your mail by magic, but he can't find you if you don't put a return address on your mail?
Cool facts about world religions:
1. Following shinto turns you into an anime character.
2. Hindus can shoot fireballs from their eyes.
3. Muslims really like gelato.
4. Voudon priests also double as optomotrists.
5. (brand new) Buddhists can summon demons to help them move furniture.

There is a Hell, Michigan zip code 48169.
There used to be a Hell, California, but it seems to have been demolished (1964, to make way for I-10, according to 'net) I remember around 1966 along the 10 out in the desert there was a SHELL gas station with a really tall sign. The S was burned out on one side so it read HELL for years. I suspect this is/was the same place; not a town, just a gas station.

Hey, I was a teenage atheist.
Now I'm an old fart atheist.

Were that true, I'd be sold.
Okay, I questioned if this guy was for real. He is apparently a truly freaking crazy kook.
"How else would a devil find me of the millions here in Denver? You explain this... No question about it some are aware of my open air preaching in DT Denver but they have no idea where I live."
If his wife was truly a Buddhist she is also a raving loon if that's what she believes Buddhists do. But I'm guessing that was some lying for Jesus.

In other words, the solution to our workload problems here at the office is to convert to Buddhism? Then I can summon a cute little female demon to be my personal secretary (wink-wink, nudge-nudge)?

I do not think his wife is lying . as in, telling falsehood deliberately -, actually. Probably some shamanistic ritual that got syncretised with Buddhism in the folk religion which she reinterpreted according to her new dogma.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
