Lets take a little break from politics and have us a real atheist conversation.

Personally, I’m open to the idea of the existence of supernatural phenomena, and I believe mainstream religions are actually complicated incomplete stories full of misinterpretations, misunderstandings, and half-truths.

Basically, I think that these stories are not as simple and straightforward as they seem to be to religious people. I feel like there is a lot more to them. Concluding that all these stories are just made up or came out of nowhere is kind of hard for me.

    If it can be oberved and explained then it isn’t supernatural. Therefore nothing can be supernatural.

    A ton of real things would fit in with all the supernatural stereotypes if we didn’t already accept them due to science.

      I disagree. You seem to be unfamiliar with the definition of supernatural. Supernatural is anything that transcends the laws of nature. Not things that can’t be observed or explained. Something that defies the laws of nature is not natural now, is it?

        Just because we do not know all the laws dosen’t mean something dosen’t have an explanation. The universe is under no obligation to make sense.
