A question for the Athiests and Agnostics. All beliefs welcome?
I see alot of debate all over the internet with agnostics and athiests and proclaimed christians attacking and tearing each other to pieces.
I have been wanting an honest answer from those who say "there is no God" or "I am my own God" or even "There might be a God but he doesn't care about what goes on in the earth".
What do you people believe about the spiritual world? What do you believe about ghosts? Demons? Spiritualists, Psychics, Witches, black magic, accounts of dead relatives appearing to people throughout history?
What do you think causes some people to look and act like Lady Gaga and others to act and dress and keep themselves holy and clean?
Honestly, what do you think has caused people from the beginning of "time" to decsend to the form of civilization that we have today?
My question might seem poorly written. But what do you believe about demons, spirits being good or evil, demon possession, witches, psychics, prophets, dreamers, visions, the zodiac, the alignment of the stars to world events, etc. Do they exsist? Or are they nonexsistent, figments of our imagination like "God".
If black is opposite white,
right over wrong,
ying over yang
genuine over bogus,
lie over truth,
birth over death,
exsistent over nonexsistent,
good over evil,
mind over matter
faith over reason
love over hate
and God over idol (look up the meaning of idol: false God- false God means there must be a real God?)
There cannot be one without the other. There cannot even be an athiest without a Christian. There cannot even be a hypocrite without a true-believer. How do you see these powers? Are there demons and angels? Is there such a thing as black magic? And divine miracles? Can visions and dreams be inspired from this other world? Are there psychics and prophets- false and genuine?

I think many conservative Christians would consider ghosts etc. to be generally evil, superstitions, or non-existent. Many may believe in angels, or cosider demons to be minions of Satan. Some might think a psychic has a gift from God, or a gift of the Holy Spirit; more likely if the psychic otherwise aligns with their faith. Christians I have met seemed to think astronomy and the zodiac were evil or a waste of time.

Well for those who desire to get technical all atheists are quite often agnostics too. No atheist can ever turn out that there's no god. We simply feel that it is so implausible that the agnostic nomenclature might be disingenuous.
