I have a questions for atheists....


If you don't believe in ghosts, gods or demons, do you believe people have souls?

Responses appreciated.

Is this really a necessary question on a horror movie board?

What a joke.

reply

Yeah, it's weird.

Why must a thread like this be on a board for every horror movie that involves religion in some way.

reply

I'm more of an agnostic. It's obvious we have no idea what is going on.

reply

Thank you everyone for your feedback on this question.

You're most kind.

A man I chat with on another message board stated that many atheists like to see horror/paranormal films for entertainment, so I was wondering what atheists thought about souls and the possibility of ghosts existing.

reply

Probably not. I would like for us to have souls, but I think it's just a concept man dreamed up for himself because it's painful to be confronted with his own mortality and insignificance in the universe.

reply

No. I have no issues with using the word 'soul' in a less literal fashion, though.
