You can believe--or not believe--in anything you choose. It's nobody's business but your own. However, there are some people in the world who are profoundly insecure in their faith, and are simultaneously laboring under the delusion that they have all the answers. How lucky for them; it must make one's life easy to have all the answers all the time. And since they feel they have the answers, they feel threatened by questions that challenge their pre-fabricated worldview. These types of people are unable to see shades of grey, so their world is a very two-dimensional black-and-white place. Arguing with them is an exercise in futility, so the best that you can do is wish them peace and carry on with your life.

I believe the natural universe is far more awe-inspiring than the "supernatural."  I believe that prejudice and hatred can be destroyed through honest and careful thought.  I believe the fact that I exist WITHOUT the fabled creation myth, makes me all the more special, and ties me into the continuing cycles of life and the universe.  I also believe in patience and understanding, and in freedom of speech and religion.

I would say they don't, but that's based on my own experience in humans. For ghosts to exist the person should at least believe in afterlife, parallell time planes or something like that or seen it for themselves. There's nothing that really indicates their existance and although many have tried for very long periods of time to prove their existance they have failed. Same goes of course for goblins, leprechauns, witches, gods, ufos, sea monsters, big foot etc, which is what I meant by my first statement. Seemingly we feel that life is more interesting to participate in if it contains some "unknown" (or magic if you like) half scary elements. It's more likely to assume that all of these similar phenomenens are spawns of the mind, than that we live in big magic fairyland.

As an atheist, I have tried to grasp how believers in a god can actually believe. Many religious people have deemed this annoying and respond with hostility because their faith comes under question. And contrary to what people above me have said, we DO have beliefs. Just different (which to some people means none at all). I believe in science and proven fact. I have discussed my beliefs, and come under attack, because if people of faith can understand where I stand, they can further help me understand where THEY stand.

Consider yourself blessed that you are able to perceive such signs and find compassion for those who have yet to learn to do so. If you could prove something scientifically it would be a state of fact or otherwise it would be an opinion. The definition of a belief is that it cannot be proven. I propose you let those know about your religious experiances who want to listen to you about them. The others are not ready to do so and thus just let them be.

I believe that certain people are descended from monkeys, and others are not. Ask me sometime, and I'll point out which ones  are which.\n\nBut as far as what people prefer to believe, people prefer to believe that which gives them more meaning in life or more comfort that they won't have to account for themselves. That is why people believe as they believe, evidence is insignificant compared to that.

Yes i believe in God. I believe in God because there is so much proof. If you read the book "A Case for Christ" then you would see all the proof you need. Any other religious person here would agree that if you studied your Bible then you would definitely believe what you read. I have studied the Bible and I believe what I read.

i can believe in logic as well as spiritual and unseen things...\n\nthings like that have ALWAYS happened to me... sometimes its because i am a scatterbrain and tend to misplace things, but sometimes i swear its just NOT THERE....\n\nsometimes things take a strange bounce and go flying in a direction you didnt expect... sometimes, i swear, they just go missing...

The only Ghost I believe in is the Holy Spirit.  That's it.  Anything other than that is the work of the devil and his evil agents.

Simply because another creature cannot tell you it believes does not mean the creature doesn't believe. I believe because it makes sense to me and I want to. That should be enough should it not. If I said I want to believe in santa claus it would be my right. No one should feel like a lesser human due to a belief or lack thereof.

Unfortunately, a lot of people use the word "God" to describe things that are entirely natural, and then assume that when the atheist says "I don't believe," he is including all these things.  Let's clear that up...\n\nI believe in hope, honesty and trust.  I believe in the goodness of mankind, the promise of a better tomorrow, and the continual progression towards something greater than we are now.  I believe in love and compassion.  I believe in taking responsibility for one's actions and acting with integrity 100% of the time.  I believe we've come a long way, but I believe we have a long ways yet to go.  I believe in Justice and Truth that is binding and eternal, but is enforced by us alone.  I believe in morality, in treating people with respect and expecting that respect in return.  I believe in certain inalienable rights, and I believe in protecting those rights.  Above all else, I believe the Sun will rise, the rainclouds will fade, and the cancer will remit...\n\nI believe all these things without believing in God.\n\n\nIf you're confused, it's your prejudices showing.  Explore atheism some more...it is more than meets the eye.

the reason i don't believe in god is that you have five senses which are sight, smell, hear, taste and touch and you can't do any of them when it comes to god\nyou can't see him\nyou can't smell him\nyou can't hear him\nyou can't taste him\nand you can't touch him\nso why believe!!!

I'm kind of a bi-believer :\n\nTechnically speaking I am an agnostic because I can't prove the existence of god one way or the other.\n\nHowever, I am currently working under the assumption that there is no god because of the utter lack of evidence.\n\nSome people just like to sit on the fence, I guess.\n\nA

You don't need to believe in a god to believe in an afterlife, nor do you need to believe in a god to believe you have a soul.  The beauty of atheism/agnosticism is that everyone thinks for themselves and has their own ideas about things.  It doesn't matter if it's the "Truth" or not.
