If magic is real it probably was seen as satanic because back then lots of things were seen as "evil" or whatever. So that takes witches and zombies off of the table.Not necessarily. Moses was a mage
Quote:About vampires: I doubt anyone truly believes in a blood sucking vampire anymore. So I take that back as well.You'd be surprised... yes, people really do believe in them.
Quote:About demons: Saerules, I was talking about the red horned guys. I doubt that people who believe in them are thinking about them as an "inspiring force". You knew what I meant.And some people (who believe in demons) regard demons as good (and sometimes misunderstood) spirits.
Quote:About ghosts: I'm still wondering how an atheist can believe in a soul. It still doesn't add up. If souls aren't things that go up to heaven or down to hell, what are they actually?
An atheist by definition does not believe in gods. There are plenty of other forces and paranormal things a person might believe in that is not a god

I believe in Zombies though.
Lots and lots of zombies.
My children spend a lot of time preparing for the inevitable zombie apocolypse by playing instructional resident evil games.
Resi 4 rules.
Go with typing of the dead (i think?). No better weapon than a keyboard for killing zombies
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
