For those who don't believe in God...

[Aces_Full]

What is your stance on the paranormal? Do you believe/not believe in ghosts, demonic entities, spirts, etc? Also, do you belive in a heven and hell?

Just curious after I stayed home yesterday watching A Haunting on TV. I like that show.

 

[BigWill]

it's all ******** if you ask me.

And I don't see how you could believe in one and not the other.

 

[Aces_Full]

And the Soul. If you don't believe in God or the like, do you believe that people have souls? Just curious as to what everyone believes. It's not a pointed question.

 

[Longhorn_Fan68]

I don't see how the two are mutually exclusive. Why is it hard to believe that some people are capable of believing in one thing and not another?

 

[JohnnyM]

i also believe it's probably all ********, although i don't pretend to know for sure. i wish more people would stop pretending to know for sure, one way or the other.

Well I would assume people who have experienced ghosts or spirts or whatever believe they know them to exist. Only makes sense. If you have not experienced anything, then I can understand the doubt and skepticism. Personally, I have not experiened any of those things, but do believe in the human spirit and am inclined to believe in demonic entities.

 

[RollingwoodHorn]

Nope, I don't believe in the paranormal.

If by soul, you mean some spirit that can live on outside the body, no I don't believe that there is such a thing as a soul. If you simply mean the essence of a being, their personality, thoughts, etc. then yes, I think humans have a soul but no more/less so than other sentient beings.

 

[GT WT]

Can one prove that there is no god/soul/demon/heaven/angel/hell? No.

Can one admit that evidence for such ideas is lacking? Yes.

I have no more reason to believe in god than I do to believe in fairies.

God bless Texas

I meant any God or Supreme being, not just the Christian form. No one has had paranormal experiences here? Just curious. If one befieves in a heaven and hell, I would assume they believe in spirits/ghosts and demonic entities. If one does not believe in a God and/or heaven & hell, then I guess they don't believe in spirts/ghosts and demons.

 

[ADMIRALSTOCKDALE]

i believe in all of it........

 

[Ranxerox]

Don't know.

Paranormal could be part of nature. God does not have to have anything to do with it. Don't know about that, either, though I find it hard to understand why ghosts wear clothes. Is it the spirit or the location capturing something or both?

I want there to be a god or reasonable gods and I want there to be ghosts.

Both seem fanciful.

I don't technically believe in a god, but I think there's a whole lot of really weird **** out there that we don't even begin to know how to understand. I wouldn't have the first clue how to potentially explain away any of it, much less "believe" in it.

speaking of, does anyone watch 'paranormal state'?
it always seems like it could be good but ends of being teh suck.
except for that one where the little girl in las vegas was "seeing" that other gril who turned out to be a murder victim from san antonio. that was some freaky **** (knowing that it's always possible for people to find that info. ahead of time).

No God. No Heaven. No Hell. When you're dead, things are pretty much the way they were before you were born.

No demons, spirits, ghosts, etc.
No ESP or Karma. Just coincidence.

It would be nice if there was some benevolent spirit watching over us that we get to meet when we die, but I've seen absolutely no evidence of his existence. Sounds more like a fairy tale.

I think it would really suck if the Christian model proves true and there's a all-knowing, all-powerful God that loves me and sacrificed his own son for my sins but will cast me into Hell for eternity because I lack the capacity to understand him. Talk about an ego-maniac on a power trip.

Then where did everything we see in the universe come from? It had to come from somewhere, right? Someone had to create it, right? But if the Creator created it all, then who created the Creator? Thinking about makes my head hurt. It's sorta like trying to figure out all the time travel logic behind the Terminator. It just doesn't add up.

[ADMIRALSTOCKDALE]

another thread that asks generally about "god" gets turned into what christians do or believe.
if someone asks what a soul is, or if you believe in it why would your answer include what christians think? the concept of an eternal soul isn't the exclusive property of christians, and nobody on this thread implied that.
then you state how it's a naive concept but explain it as it makes sense to you.

Yes on all of it.

I am still working on bringing back the gods of Greece. Why Zeus is not more popular these days, I can not figure out.

 

[EPThorn]

I DO believe in god and he is the starting QB for the Tennessee Titans.
