For you atheists out there, what is your stance on the spirit world?

Nonexistent, but a nice idea.

 

Nonexistent, but a nice idea.

Many of my favorite movies involve the subject...

 

How about ghosts and haunted houses? -- just wanted to get into the spirit of things.

 

do you mean like spirits in a material world?

 

they're great characters. just like god.

 

Nope, nope, aaaaand nope.

This question should have had a painfully obvious answer for you. Why would someone who doesn't believe in God believe in angels, demons, or the devil? That would be some horrendous cognitive dissonance if someone were to think like that.

 

Where does the answer lie? Living from day to day?

If it's something we can't buy, there must be another way.

 

Yea, pretty much.

I don't see how some people are so confused by us atheists.


Its very simple no angels, no god, no devil.

You live then you die, nothing afterward. We don't chose to feel this way, we just do. Its like believing in santa claus to us.



I of course can't be 100% sure, nobody can. But i'm certainly confident enough to risk eternity in hell.

 

No there aren't. There are many things that haven't been explained yet, but just because there's no scientific explanation for something doesn't make it paranormal/supernatural. Don't just fill every gap in knowledge with some supernatural thing (God, ghosts, demons, angels, etc.) because it's easy to do so.

 

They are not atheist enough. Pretty sure if I put a gun to their heads, they'd start praying.

 

Do yall believe in free will?

 

Yes. Why wouldn't I?

 

I'm not so sure of your conclusions as you. I owned a house in Oak Forest back in the 80s. During the process of buying it from three sisters, I found out that their 90-year-old parents had died in the house one month apart.

When I came home late, I tended to leave my suit coat on the chair in the living room. In the morning it would be on the floor or the couch but never on the chair (I later found out my easy chair was in the same spot where the wife's chair had been). I didn't think anything about it because I figured I just didn't remember where I had put my coat.

If I left a dirty glass on the drain, it suddenly moved to the sink when I wasn't looking. There were a lot of other strange occurences like the little cloud that would disappear into the wall when I walked into the hall unexpectedly. But I never worried about the oddities -- they were just part of the house.

I had a girlfriend named Karen back then and, when she considered moving in, I told her about the oddities. She scoffed and gave me grief. I told her to leave a glass on the drain, which she did. Then she turned around to call me from the living room, and the glass was in the sink. She shrieked and wouldn't set foot in the house again. I had to change girlfriends.

I can't explain it logically, but there it is.

 

The mystery of everything is completely out of any humans comprehension.

We are all zeros in a gigantic mysterious universe.

Were there demons billions of years ago when there was only dinosaurs? Dinosaur devil?

Humans are just great story tellers. Brain washers.

 

....ghost on the other hand.

I am 99% sure I have seen a ghost.

So what the ****.

 

Climb out of the box and expand your brain.

Leave earth for a minute.

There is 99.9% of "something" out there that we will never know about.

Pretty mysterious.

The question..."Why?" and "When" will never be answered.
