How Can Atheists Believe in Ghosts, But Not The Holy Spirit?

There are a sick breed of people in this world that are named atheists. Atheist literally means “no God”, which is simply preposterous. When you look at the stars in the sky or the endless waves of the surf that cover the countless wonder of life in our world’s vast oceans, you know it had to have a divine creator. God.
Atheists are hypocrites. Thick-skulled members of their dangerous politico-religious movement, such as Richard Dawkins, promote a unified theory called Destroy God and Religion.
Claiming to be learned and a student of basic theories of our universe, Dawkins and his colleagues live by a double standard. They say people of faith are idiots and mislead sheep for having faith in the existence of God, yet, Dawkins can provide no proof for why God would not exist. Dawkins and atheists only have a hellbound faith that there is no God.
As I gamestested the new Ghostbusters Video game for Playstation 3 last week, I could not help but think about how much the idea of supernatural life, the spirtitual, is tied into our culture. Secular people have no qualm with talking about haunted houses and spirits roaming the Earth, but have no desire to address at least the possibility of the Holy Trinity, namely the Holy Spirit, and angels being real.
Instead, they laugh and call names. They attempt to marginalize those of faith to hide their own fears and insecurities. How can atheists believe in ghosts, but not the Holy Spirit?
The answer is that they cannot. What they do, however, is delude themselves with a false notion that their faith — not based an any sort of true science — can dispell not just Christianity, Judaism or Islam, but the concept of a univeral God itself.
Such thinking is errant and not scientific, only inflammatory and devisive. It is inflammatory because atheists use science as their souce of authority, and use such an authority as a pulpit to where they state opinions instead of concrete facts.
They use science as a tool for self-aggrandizement and a security blanket, trying to use it in manipulative ways to change societal opinion on religious faith and belief in God.
Despite the greatest wishes of atheists, God cannot be destroyed. Faith cannot be taken away from one whose heart is set on true-belief and understanding. Atheism is the product of fear; a fear that humanity — or a randomly driven life form — may not be the ultimate source of reason in the universe.
God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love and a sound mind. Let us remember that passage and understand that atheism means “No God”. And anyone who would wish such a universe definitely has no love in the heart; nor are of sound mind. Their actions only serve to power the dark kingdom of Satan, a place of death, misery and destruction.

“They use science as a tool for self-aggrandizement and a security blanket, trying to use it in manipulative ways to change societal opinion on religious faith and belief in God.”
Bren, this is an amazingly true statement. Atheists have convinced everyone that science is perfect and timeless, yet every new “discovery” is disproven by another set of scientists in a decade. Their big bad secret is that scientific study is just personal prose writing, and can be manipulated to say anything. Heck, we could stick a bunch of guys in a room for a week with test tubes and lab coats and they’d come out with a proof that “Zombie Aliens Prefer Vegetarian Intercourse During Comedy Central Commercial Breaks.” It would be just as valid as anything these pervs decide. And ghosts! What a bunch of malarky for weak minded manchildren who want to hide in their closets.

“Vegetarian intercourse”?
What’s that? Is it the act of penetrating yourself with vegetables, like carrots and cucumbers, or is it the act of having sex with vegetarians?

I’m an atheist and I don’t believe in ghosts. It is possible to enjoy something like Ghostbusters because that is not real life, it’s entertainment.
I feel no obligation to prove that God doesn’t exist just as a Christian feels no obligation to prove that “he” does. I don’t hate Christians, I don’t hate anyone for no reason. I just have no reason to believe in something that I don’t want to believe in.

I could not agree with you more. It is NOT upon the shoulders of the atheist to disprove god, but instead on the believer to prove his exists. We are not seeking to disprove anything, we are simply stating that we do not believe that any god exists.

You’re so stupid. I don’t understand why you think we atheist believe in ghost: where are your proof? Boh -.-
People like YOU make fools of themselves, believing in stuff like talking snakes, magic trees, rib-womans, zombies and so on.
Mentally, you’re stuck in the Middle Ages. You know the Middle Ages? When christianity and supernatural dominated everything. When people were tortured and burned alive, when the max hope of life were 35 years and when, if you were sick, they cured you with ONLY prayers and fucking leeches.
YOU are a big hypocrite. You dislike science so much? Then, please, go living in a cavern without electricity. Maybe you’ll be happy.
Your “God” gives us nothing.

You really should understand what you are writing about before spewing garbage.
You logic is as broken as it can get. Based on what you say, you should be having to disprove Unicorns and Tooth Fairies, otherwise, they are just as legitimate. How stupid… (and while you’re at it, feel free to disprove Allah and Thor, too)
Instead, the way the world really works is this: The burden of proof is on the person making the claim. i.e. You say their “MUST” be a god because of the oceans and universe. So if their “must” be one, then prove it. The oceans and the universe that you use as ‘proof’ is only a causal connection to your beief. It’s not proof.
And if you can’t prove it, then please feel free to practice your ‘belief’ in private. I respect your right to believe in that stuff. But it doesn’t mean I need to respect the belief you have. Which I don’t.

Wow. Just… wow. There are so many logical fallacies in this article, I don’t even know where to begin.
Atheist doesn’t mean “no god.” Atheism means “without belief in god.” I don’t actively say there is no god, because I have no evidence for that. Just as you have no evidence that god DOES exist. But I can say that I do not have a belief in god. I don’t believe in ghosts either… or fairies, or unicorns, or Jewish zombies who disintegrate into thin air. I don’t believe anything without evidence.
Even though I can’t say with certainty that there is no god. I CAN say with an extremely high degree of certainty that Earth is a lot older than 6,000 years as the bible claims. There is quite literally overwhelming evidence for this, from dendrochronology to cosmology to geology to biology. That’s just the way the evidence is, regardless of how much it contradicts your particular beliefs. You can choose to reject every single one of these scientific disciplines, but then you’ve become no more than a denier of history; on par with the same nuts who claim that the Holocaust didn’t happen.
Do yourself a favor and get a good science education before you make fallacious claims like, “when you look at the stars in the sky or the endless waves of the surf that cover the countless wonder of life in our world’s vast oceans, you know it had to have a divine creator.” That’s not proof of anything. Intuition isn’t evidence. Atheists, despite what you might think, are open to the idea of there being a theistic god. They just demand proof. The same way I’m sure you’d want proof if I told you that there was an invisible monkey with two heads following you around and waiting to kill you unless you gave me $100 to cover you with an invisible protective shield. You don’t win an argument by shifting the burden of proof where it doesn’t belong.
I’m all for the healthy exchange of opinions, and if you want to believe something (no matter how crazy it is), I don’t care. Just keep it out of the science classroom unless you have compelling evidence for it. And keep it out of public policy, period.

What an excellent response, my friend. Like you, I can’t prove that there is no god, but I can prove that his existence has not been proven scientifically. Of course, not EVERYTHING has been proven scientifically, YET. Notice that I include YET in that statement and the reason being is that just because science can’t explain something today does not mean it will not be able to explain it in the near future. I tell students all the time that the amount of scientific discovery in the last 100 years has been more than all the discoveries in the previous history of mankind. What will happen in the next 100?

I am have been raised in a catholic family and I do believe in god but I also am very interested in science and I have always wanted to ask someone this. If anyone can answer this I will be glad to read it:
Yes, science has never proven god not to exist, but have the Christians also ever given any evidence? could the bible be real? or just a very old story book? how would you know? and same for science, but honestly science has discovered one thing, that animals nowadays and humans evolved from previous and older animals which started off at small cells/bacteria/microorganisms and didnt simply just appear.
So if anyone as some solid evidence for either side please answer my comment.

That Ghostbusters video game must be the sh*t! Because I’ve seen both movies and neither one came even remotely close to making me realize that there’s a god. Although, the first one did make me want to eat a Twinkie.

“There are a sick breed of people in this world that are named atheists. Atheist literally means “no God”, which is simply preposterous” Let me begin with your opening statement. You can NEVER win any argument when you begin from a position of superiority or begin by trying to debase those you are against. Your very opening statement shows that you are not here to convince anyone of anything other than atheists are sick and “boneheaded” as you say. EVERYTHING after those statements is lost. Why, because a reasonable and rational person will not accept this kind of open ended attack against others. You weaken your position from the very start, therefore, you have done nothing to strenghten you original premise that ghosts prove the existence of god. If you want to discuss this in a rational way, perhaps even to debate this somehow, I would welcome the opportunity. Thank you.

You presume to place all Atheists in one category. That’s just as thick-headed as me saying all Christians believe that gay marriage is wrong. It’s not the case… at all. Not all Atheists are out to destroy your religion. We respect that you have an opinion, even if that opinion isn’t our own. But what I don’t respect is your half-baked and illogical “understanding” of what Atheism is. Maybe you should actually do some research before you post something like this. You know, what normal people do. Research, understand, and then write. Really, it’s not that complicated.
Also, you’re no better than anyone when you, yourself, resort to name-calling and lower yourself to thinking you’re a God and have the right to judge us Atheists and degrade us by calling us Satan worshippers. You haven’t the right nor the logic to back it up and it just makes you seem like a hateful little child who never learned the art of understanding and civility.
So, like I said. Do some research, stop with the juvenile presumptions, and come back with a legitimate arguement. You know, the basics to writing anything that you want anyone with half a brain to take seriously.

Being an atheist is believing that nothing created something.
And of course no atheists would agree with me, that nothing created something. So you’re not atheists, you’re agnostics, because you DO believe that SOMETHING created the universe.
Good, so stop calling yourself an atheist, unless you mean it!
