I'm an atheist. Since I make God out to be a fairy tale, does that mean he is one?
-Im not too sure what happens when we die, One thought of mine, is maybe we wake up. Wake up in a different place, maybe in "heaven" as a flawless version of our old self, Maybe in someones elses shoes on this planet, or a far away galaxy. Perhaps we just end up in eternal blackness.
What evidence do you have for any of that? When you get down to the bottom of it, you shouldn't believe in anything unless there is sufficient evidence to believe in it. Otherwise you are just engaging in wishful thinking.

-I believe in ghosts and demons. I think that for certain reasons and occurances, ghosts can come on earth and communicate and send signals. I think that demons can possess people, but not randomly, a thought out reason for it in our soul, from God.
What evidence do you have for this?

-I believe in luck and superstition, but to a slight degree, Sending a chain letter wont save some young little boys life, but i do think that murphys law of doing something bad and having it come back and get you is a direct effect of our souls balance.
What evidence do you have for the existence of souls?

What are your takes on this crazy life of ours?
I think we have to look at reality for what it is. I know gods and souls sound like neat ideas, but that doesn't make them true. We don't know where the universe came from. We just don't. And there's nothing to suggest that there's a "God" interfering with our planet. Everything down here seems to operate completely predictably according to the laws of physics.

As for our "souls", we have already found them. They are our brains. Like it or not, all our thoughts, our emotions, our loves and hates are just chemicals and neurons in our brains. When some of those brain cells are destroyed, we lose some of our thinking capabilities and our personalities. When a lot of those brain cells are destroyed, we lose a lot of our thinking capabilities and our personalities. When all of them are destroyed (i.e. when we die), we lose all of our thinking capabilities and our personalities. It's not necessarily the most comforting explanation, but it is the correct one. We have to realize that so we can make the most of the few decades we have on this precious planet.
