Lets take a little break from politics and have us a real atheist conversation.

Personally, I’m open to the idea of the existence of supernatural phenomena, and I believe mainstream religions are actually complicated incomplete stories full of misinterpretations, misunderstandings, and half-truths.

Basically, I think that these stories are not as simple and straightforward as they seem to be to religious people. I feel like there is a lot more to them. Concluding that all these stories are just made up or came out of nowhere is kind of hard for me.

    A feeling that something is watching you? Some people end up experiencing supernatural phenomena after having such feelings. Especially if it’s accompanied with a sense of dread.

      Delusions and hallucinations are a thing. Ever feel your phone vibrating in your pocket when it actually wasn’t ? That’s a hallucination, nothing supernatural about it. Feelings aren’t a reliable way to assess reality, and relying on feelings to make decisions is a recipe for disaster.

          Sure. There’s no reason not to, considering the brain, which is a physical object. Everything we think and do is a product of the physical world.

            Actually, no one knows. There isn’t any hard concrete evidence that proves that this current reality is absolute true reality.
