Besides your belief that there is no higher power, what are your thoughts on supernatural phenomena? (lemmy.world)

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.

Do you think that the current reality we experience as humans is true reality?

[–] Chessmasterrex 1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Sure. There's no reason not to, considering the brain, which is a physical object. Everything we think and do is a product of the physical world.

[–] aLaStOr_MoOdY47 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Actually, no one knows. There isn't any hard concrete evidence that proves that this current reality is absolute true reality.

Unless there's evidence of an alternative reality, you might as well be talking about leprechauns and unicorns.
