Some might, I don't. It varies with atheists.

Do athiest believe in ghost? just courious
Depends on whether the atheist is ghosteist or aghosteist.

Atheists don't believe in god (with a number of different explanations behind why). Atheism doesn't have anything to do with ghosts. I am an atheist, I also do not believe in ghosts. It's a separate issue entirely.

So, you are already assuming existence of a supreme being prior to the argument from need. What is the basis of your assumption?
prior to the argument from need?
I dont quite get what you mean, can you rephrase it.
You argued that since people need justice, therefore a god must exist to provide it. But your latter argument suggests that god exists regardless of people's needs. Thus, I'm asking you to support that.
You mean those 2 arguement are contradicting? Prior argument and later argument? I need to really understand what you mean before I answer.

It is much easier to prove Ghost exists, since it makes itself visible sometimes. For God it is much harder and one has to use analogy and logic.

Wow, completely missed this one......that's pretty dark amigo... I'd be throwing my whys into the wind, even though there's no one listening. What I like to do, is wait for a train to come by, and then scream into the clatter of the tracks so that my kids don't hear me..lol.

Can I just interject at this point to buy Leo a pint of his beverage of choice for pulling the plug on our erstwhile yoyo Zakir?
Thank you. Carry on.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

The latter negates the former. If god exists regardless of people's needs, the people's needs cannot be the reason for god's existence.
