If something happens then it's natural, supernatural is a null word

I would take exception in the case of a spontaneous healing of an adult amputee.

I reject god for the same reason as all the other supernatural nonsense: Lack of evidence.

Imagine what that means!
You dont?
Because its unfounded nonsense?
Yup
Same with "all the galaxies together and apart from each other, have some kind of knowledge and self-awareness."
Its utter and unfounded nonsense.

No, I equate "supernatural" with "impossible".

No, I equate "supernatural" with "impossible". Same difference. But you're wrong for thinking that. You haven't suffered enough to realize the truth.

"Unrealistic" is winning the Lottery. Ok yeah I get it. But there's nothing unrealistic about the supernatural, in fact you could say it's the most realistic thing out of anything. So realistic and simple in fact, that most people have a hard time wrapping their heads around it, because most people always want worthwhile endeavors to be complicated affairs.

To paraphrase the late Professor Carl Sagan, yes, it is possible that there is a God out there who is hiding

hello friends
In continuation of this topic.
Some nations have religions that do not talk about God. For example, in Africa and East Asia, they believe that after the death of creatures, their souls live next to us invisibly.
For example, if you find a problem and call your grandfather's spirit, your grandfather and maybe some spirits who are his friends will come to your aid.
Some even say that if you had a dog that died, its spirit is with you and even if you call it, it will help you.
Some ask for help from the spirit of nature and the spirit of the forest, mountain and plain and get spiritual power or occult help.
I think, it must be some kind of atheist or something between religiosity and atheist.
