Ghosts exist in some form or another. They may not be "ghosts" that we think of, but there is surely something that causes people to have these types of sightings or have EVP's appear on recordings or things in photographs. SOmething does this. Whatever it is we may never know.

[QUOTE="WAJ"]I think religion is for the weak minded people among us who need something to cling too in order to give their lives some kind of "meaning". foxhound_fox


I used to share this very condescending attitude towards religion... before I discovered that not everyone wishes to "find" their own way in life, and just are happy having it laid out for them. As long as they are being good, respectful people... why should we care if they are "weak-minded" for following something that makes them happy?

I dont care what someone's beliefs are, what i DO care about is people having enough respect NOT to try and enforce it upon others. I was only stating what i "believe" in. Don't get me wrong, faith CAn be a good thing, but blind faith?! ... not.

Just something I wanted to know from anAtheist's point of view...

Well, I'm not an Atheist, but I can explain ghosts in fairly simple means. They are simple unexplained... natural phenomena. A misrepresentation of the human perspective.

If anything ghosts disaprove the theory of God, why would they be on Earth if they are meant to be in heaven or hell?leperphiliac

Awaiting of Judgement day? and whos to say that the ghosts are spirits of dead people? Could be a paralell universe for all we know.

[QUOTE="chopperdave447"]also.... in accordance to all such arguments... "prove x doesn't exist!" you CANNOT prove that something does not exist. it is impossible. alexside1

"citation needed"

no citation is required. make it a thought expirement. you simply can't do it.

atheism simply means you dont believe in god or lack reason to believe in god. people who dont believe in ghosts, spirits or anything apart from good science are called "materalists" (not materialistic as in a stupid scene chick, it has two meanings) atheists can believe in ghosts, like buddhists. you can be a religious atheist. not all religions are based of deities (creator god) and remember, this thread is not debating against atheism, its asking what atheists think of spirits.
