Whether you believe in God or not, do you believe in the existance of angels, demons, spirits, ghosts and other spiritual beings which we are unable to see, hear, taste, feel or touch. If so, please elaborate. I'm especially curious about what Athiests have to say about this. Thanks!

I'm atheist. I don't believe in angels, demons, or spirits. Ghosts do confuse me because I did see one a few years ago late at night and it scared the hell out of me. But I rather not believe in ghosts, so I prefer to think that that ghost was just a figment of my imagination. Now I'm just rambling...basically, I don't believe in anything I cannot see or proof, so no I don't believe in spiritual beings.

The angelic conflict is the result of prehistoric creatures being in opposition to God; this conflict began with the fall of Satan and continued until all angelic creatures had made a decision for or against God.
It refers to the two trials of Satan and the fallen angels, one in prehistoric times, the other during human history.

I am christian and I do believe in these things,when I was nonchristian,I wasn``t open to seeing or hearing anything,but when I accepted God and opened my heart,I was amazed at the things the devil was doing in my life to make me fall,also God gives us discernment in situations to help us make decisions.

FOR THOUGH WE WALK IN THE FLESH,WE DO NOT WAR AGAINST THE FLESH. FOR THE WEAPONS OF OUR WARFARE ARE NOT CARNAL BUT MIGHTY IN GOD FOR PULLING DOWN STRONGHOLDS. (II CORINTHIANS 10:3,4) SIMPLY PUT,THE THINGS THAT WE STRUGGLE WITH ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS ARE NOT WHAT THEY SEEM. THEY ARE EITHER OF A DEMONIC NATURE OR A GODLY NATURE. IT'S HARD TO CONCEPTUALIZE,BUT EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO US HERE ON EARTH HAS BEEN BIRTHED IN THE SPIRIT WORLD BEFORE IT OCCURS HERE.
"BUT THE NATURAL MAN DOES NOT RECEIVE THE THINGS OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD,FOR THEY ARE FOOLISHNESS TO HIM; NOR CAN HE KNOW THEM,BECAUSE THEY ARE SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED." (CORINTHIANS2:15)
