The Ballad of Edward Modrake, The Man with the Demon Face
Edward Mordrake was a man who lived in the 19th century. History books detail Mordrake’s life status as a nobleman, a urbane man of English descent. Unlike many of his fellows, Mordrake was also renown for one genetic anomaly, located on the back of his head: an extra face.
Historical accounts of Mordrake’s life reveal the face could not speak or eat, but it could laugh and it could cry.
Mordrake grew weary of the face. He begged doctors to remove his ‘devil twin’, citing that during the still hours of the night, the face would whisper terrible things to him.
Doctors at the time were terrified and dared not touch the face, let alone attempt to remove it in surgery. Records show that Mordrake ended his life in his early twenties because he could no longer stand the torments from the face on the back of his head.
My friends, we do not understand genetics. We’ve seen weird genetic anamolies: the mutant creature of Montauk, the woman with a subcutaneous horn implemented in her forhead and many others. There are so many mutations in this world and much like this one, they seem to be of evil intent.
Our genes are more than simple chemicals. They are the creation of a Supreme Being but also the key to our future. Scientists tell me that structure dictates function. If that’s the case, we have no right being dictators. We must not forget the things that can happen due to mutations and genetic manipulations.

You aren’t real, so your words make no sense. Write in a non-bastardized language and I might listen. Also back up your shit with research and more people will be more receptive to it.

Wow, this is as amazing as it true. I wonder if both faces are burning in hell together now?

Genesis 6 1-4
When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. 3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” 4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.

So, Auggie, nice bit of Tanach there, but what does it have to do with this? Also, what dose it mean to you?

It means some people out there have genes that have been tainted by demons and/or fallen angels.

I dont see anything in there that talks of daemons, and I only see reference to Nephilim (fallen angels) as the offspring of woman and G-d’s messengers/angels.
