Ghosts and Ghoulies

Epic bump is epic

I dont believe in ghosts in the sense that they are dead peoples spirits that didnt move on, but I do believe that there is a spirtitual world that exists next to and within our world. There are plenty of people that have been physically harmed by "ghosts". They usually say its an angry spirit. Its not, its a demon. Most of the time when people are being haunted and shit it is a host of demons that are there.. I dont really think that our spirits linger around, only angels and demons.

edit: if your an atheist, why start a thread like this? It seems like your only looking for ppl to argue with.

Are you really so clueless that you think an atheist cannot believe in ghosts? A ghost is not a god, therefore atheism says nothing about someone's belief in ghosts.

Most atheist deny the existence of ghosts because they deny the existence of a spiritual world. I got into a debate about that with alot of atheists here on RIU not too long ago.

No. You are applying a label of atheist to a person that probably should be considered a skeptical rationalist or some other critical thinker. As pointed out, a great deal of critical thinkers are atheists, but most atheists are not necessarily a science-minded skeptic. In fact, many people believe in ghosts and a spiritual world do not believe in a god. You have no idea what 'most atheists' believe because the label is about one thing that they don't believe in and tells you absolutely nothing about what the person DOES believe. This has been mentioned to you in other threads. It would be helpful if you paid attention.

...just not the 'Holy' one? Serious question.

The Holy Ghost always struck me as a spare, or an appendix. No apparent function but always part of the set. cn

I've heard the Holy Ghost referred to as the Larry Fine of the triad...
