Obviously I don't believe in god or a creator. I do believe we naturally evolved. So, without a heaven there can be no afterlife....right?

I would really like to hear what others think about ghosts, hauntings and things that go bump in the night. I personally have never experienced such phenomenon; although I may have convined myself that I saw or heard something when I was a teenager with a ouija board and an overactive imagination.

Please share your thoughts on this subject. I'm sure it has been discussed to naseum but I am a virgin atheist so would love to know what the general concensus is.

Everything stems from an Epistemology for me, a theory of knowledge and justification. No supernatural events that have ever been proposed to exist come close to satisfying my epistemic standards, nor can my epistemology shown to be false and simultaneously an epistemology that is logically coherent and permits supernatural belief is shown to be true.

how do you know that what you think is right and that your senses are accurate in examining the evidence? where does this standard come from?


I didn't say believe in "anything" supernatural. Of course one who believes in god cannot be an atheist. An atheist is one who does not believe in a god. If he/she does, they are theists not atheists.
Atheism is one thing and one thing only. No belief in a god or gods. Everything else is up for debate, even between atheists.
Atheists tend to lack belief in most if not all supernatural beliefs.

I would ask how do you know, that what you know is all there is? My question is how have you come to the conclusion that there is no God? God of the Bible specifically.
