Atheism and the Paranormal

[Violet]

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's PIPPY!

I beleive in the supernatural, in the sense that there are things as of yet outside of our full comprehension. Please don't God Of The Gaps that one, you will lose. It is only GOTG is we will never invent a better mousetrap. Bonus points if you understand that.

IZ GOTZ BONUZ POINTZOR!

Magic, ghosts, vampires, the supernatural, either exist or don't based on definition.

True ^_<

Of course magic exists, if you defoine it as something that does or can exist. But if you choose to define magic as something than can't exist, then it doesn't.

This is true. But you may not be correct about what can and cannot exist

I don't think magic exists, but I sure wish it did. I could do the whole Cinderella thing... but with my body instead of glass slippers and a repaired dress!

The type of person referred to as a 'psychic vampire'

Believe it or not... I'm actually with you here...

I like your interpretation of a virus being a vampire ^_^ Now I'm thinking about writing a children's campfire story about The Vampire Virus! ^_<

Ghosts, this is starting to step on the toes of UFO's. If there is not and have never been such a thing as a real ghost, we have an even bigger problem in how many people think they have seen one.

Pippy is telling it like it is : O Kudos! You forgot the word 'not', so I'm adding it in for you to be pedantic *_< Bolding mine.

Or what about Crop Circles? That is a phenomenon 180 degrees from the rest. It is not evidence of the existence of crop circles we are lacking, in fact the only thing we know about them is that everyone can see them, and they appear to be real. Oh and that people like to claim they made them without being thoroughly convincing.

Here's where we differ. While some people may see a giant space penis and a giant 'carved' into a hill... I just see some cut grass You'd have to give me some hefty evidence otherwise

And some good points already made about real witchcraft. Witches of course exist, I was one for a few years. I dated one once. My Mum is a Druid. But you could also say that the things we dress up as on halo ween don't really exist, and get away with it. All semantics.

Sure they exist... but what do they exist as? True involkers of magik... or your average "magician" or "illusionist"... or as some random wacko stirring the seaweed out of their nets with an oar and glancing evilly at passers by?

Semantics are important! "_"

I guess most atheists have a little less room for superstition because of their skeptical nature. That isn't a slight though.

Nay indeed. It's rather nice, if i do say so But then... being an atheist really doesn't mean that we are necessarily skeptics... just take a look-see at the insane scientologists ^_^
