Just a thought:
Atheists must believe that "ghosts", angels, demons, and any other spiritual forces do not exist, since they do not believe in the existence of God. Because if God, a supernatural being, does not exist, then neither will any other supernatural being exist. In other words, they must have zero fear of the supernatural, which I actually believe is quite unlikely for most who claim to be atheists...
My dad once said, "It takes more faith to believe that there is no God, than to believe that there is." I actually agree with him. Just look at the human body - how it functions, how detailed it is - the hormones we have, neurones, veins, valves, cuticles, hair, everything. Each serves its purpose - a very specific purpose to keep the body alive and functioning. How is it that a "Big bang" could've caused this? A few chemicals reacting (Okay, maybe a lot of chemicals reacting) to form what we call Earth, or any other form of life - animals, plants, humans, etc. It makes no sense to me.
Up till now, no scientist has created anything with life, from something that has no life. Every experiment we do in school or know about, deal with elements that are dead - and react to form something that is also dead.
Spending billions of dollars to PROVE that the Big Bang theory is true is so not worth it. It's just to PROVE the theory you know. When people in Africa are dying without food.
Which reminds me... Yesterday I was about to have lunch with my dad. Saw 2 trays of leftovers in front of us, left behind by the people who'd sat at the table before us. Each of them had left half a bowl of rice behind. It's so sad - especially when there are people starving without even one grain of rice. PAP should cut down the excessive amount of food bought for us greedy Singaporeans and give it to the poor instead.
Anyway, wrt to this post - they're just my opinions and thoughts about the subject. A realisation that I thought would be interesting to share with anyone who actually reads this blog. Haha.
My stand: Only a God of life can breathe life into something that is dead. Literally and metaphorically. And, I don't believe that ghosts exist (ghosts being the souls of the dead that roam the earth for whatever reason) - but I believe that demons do.
