Do Atheist believe in ghosts?

well?

Meh, there's a scientific explanation for everything. Ghosts, goblins, and gods are just an admittance of limited intelligence, on our part.

With that said, I've got a pretty freaky ghost story to share

I'd been visiting family in Georgia (state), and was at my aunt's house, late one night, with my dad and two younger brothers. Not sure if this makes a difference, but my aunt's house was the oldest within the area, having been the first one built in those particular woods, in the early 1900's.

Around midnight my aunt decides to go for a quick trip to the grocery store, and my brothers and I decide to accompany her. By the time I left the house, my aunt's car was in the driveway, engine running & headlights on, with one of my brothers inside. When I get to where she and my other brother are standing (right next to the car), we may have exchanged a few words before my aunt silenced us with an anxious, "ssshhhhhh!"

We looked up and saw that what had caught her attention was a man walking on our lawn, very slowly; hobbling about like a zombie. He had the most vacant expression on his face, and completely dead eyes. From where I stood, I could only see the whites of his eyes; no pupils, as he walked parallel to us, toward the front door of the house, without even acknowledging our presence.

As he advanced toward the house, my aunt leaned over and whispered that she might have to run back in and get one of her guns, but she never got that chance. When our zombie trespasser got about 3 yards from the front door, he disappeared! Right in front of our faces. No special effects or anything ; just blipped out of existence .

Needless to say, we got in the car and got the fuck out of there!

No clue what we all experienced that night, but if I had to guess I'd say it was just some extra-dimensional shit. Motherfuckers need to learn how to stay in their own space-time continua.

Yes. Of course.

I believe the children are our future

Technically speaking - atheists reject the belief in God or Gods. That is the end of the definition.

Having said that - I would be surpised if an atheist believed in other supernatural things like ghosts but it would not be impossible.

do religious people believe in ghosts, other then the holy ghost ?

atheism is the rejection of the existence of bill o'reilly's brain.

nothing more, nothing less.

If there are ghosts there are souls and life after death and then there is a possibility of an actual afterlife, which would mean there is a grand creator.

No.

Maybe he's a little lonely and wants your company.


Get someone to do some ritual cleansing on the house if you believe in that kind of stuff and are that afraid. I'm assuming that's the only encounter you guys have experienced?

Yes, I believe in goats.

well, I know a guy who has no religious affiliation and doesn't believe in god, but he's dead scared of ghost and really superstitious, like he won't even walk under a ladder.

are you retarded?

"Seems like some poor atheists have started seeing ghosts. Ghosts! Admins tell me it's a side effect of this ranting business. One poor sod's memories getting passed to another through heavy PM'ing. Leaks. Lunatics. Rebellion. And now bleeding ghosts. Ain't life in TranceAddict grand?"

Do ghosts believe in atheists is a far more pressing query.

Do atheists dream of electric goats?

No. Atheism by definition is the lack of belief in gods, but it's generally extended to the lack of belief in any supernatural entity.. That includes ghosts, spirits, souls, angels, demons, vampires, elves, boogeymen etc..

I do believe in Unicorns, however.

I am an atheist and I believe in goats.

Anyway, if ghosts 'existed', they would violate the second law of thermodynamics. I'm assuming most atheists' are aware of this, being sensible and all.

Also, if ghosts do exist and ignored every physical law, why do 'people' only see human ghosts? Where's the ghost of the cow I chomped on earlier, or the bowl of prawns I boiled to death last week?

Only humans have souls.

Sensible and scientifically literate aren't the same thing sadly. That's a much smaller subset.

In that atmospheric anomalies and of the mind do occur, yes. In the traditional definition or meaning of that word, ghosts, an emphatic NO.

oh please, man made laws are a mockery of nature if that, the world we live in is not in equilibrium to begin with.

THUS SAID, do you actually believe there is a Devil down there who selects only a chosen few to collide deterministically in a blackbox of sorts?

organization is in the mind of the implicit.
