Atheists, U R all individual Yeah How many of you believe that seances work & that Spirits - good or bad exist

Question

Thankyou Tammi,
I have been involved in seances, contacting the dead ...only to my detriment

Ms Taurus, if you don't believe in that, what you said then how come the shows interest you?

Great Gazoo you keep refering to athiests as Us? Why ?
I'm sure others would agree that you are all individuals yeah! Why do you think not?

Swordark.. how do you try to explain this to your huband? I like your answer, it must be very hard for you & confronting for him. Logic v scientist, hmmm wouldn't be an easy job.
I haven't done tarots but I used to read palms.

I haven't done tarots but I used to read palms. I saw a Tarot card reader once on the Sunshine Coast in Australia here, & she basically told me I was pregnant. I said no way! Shut-up!-smile- & I was. Sadly I lost the child in a tragic way when I was 5 months pregnant. ....Nothing to do with seeing her I'm sure

Answer 1

People can communicate with the dead (demons & devils) by ungodly ways (like oiji boards).

The LORD God strickly forbids it in the Old Testament. In the New Testament also. And this practice doesn't inherit Gods Kingdom. So, opens self up to cult spirits.

Answer 2

My husband is an Atheist (and scientist) and he doesn't believe in any of that stuff. What freaks him out is when I do tarot readings and they're scary accurate. He seems to think I have an ability to read people through looks and body language, or some form of telepathy. So when he sees stuff like that he believes there's a perfectly logical and scientific explanation, but maybe we haven't uncovered it yet.

ADDED: I usually just tell him that I have my own ideas of how it works, but I'm very open minded to his theories of how I do it. Because I can pick out people (hair and eye color pretty accurately), ages, their relationship to the person I'm doing the reading for, and the situation pretty accurately. I think he keeps an open mind about it. I think what drives him nuts is he really wants an explanation that I can't really give him. Like I said, I have my own ideas of how I'm able to do it (being part of the universal consciousness who can tune into someone else is one possibility) but I'm also open to the idea that maybe there is a scientific explanation behind it. So I guess how we keep from being at odds with one another is that we're both very open-minded and inquisitive.

Answer 3

Not me. Most atheists don't believe in anything supernatural. That is really for the same reason that we don't believe in any god.

Where you will see big differences is in almost any other aspects of what we think. A lot of us are into science, but not all by any means. We lean liberal in politics, but I am very conservative. You can find atheists on any side of about any subject as long as it doesn't involve accepting things with no evidence because that is what leads us to be atheists.

Answer 4

Seances, no... Ghosty stuff (like shows and whatnot) are interesting to me, have my own ideas, but still totally a skeptic always.

Answer 5

No, I don't believe that. My genome is original - I don't need to go around espousing the belief that the invisible, undetectable energy inside me is an individual, too.

Answer 6

I don't think that there is a part of consciousness that exists after death, so it seems unlikely that we could contact "spirits" via seance.

Answer 7

I don't.

Although even a minute scrap of evidence that spirits exist would be more evidence than there is for Christianity.

Answer 8

Nope, no spirits hon. No supernatural stuff

Answer 9

boo nay on the superstition I though Harry Houdini explained that rather well

Answer 10

I don't. No soul, no spirits, nothing supernatural.

Thank you for asking so nicely (and spelling "atheists" right).
