Well between the voices in his head and GeauxtigerTM his plate is kind of full. Cut him some slack will ya

Here are my weird encounters. I don't care what anyone says, and I don't necessarily know what to think myself. First off, no drugs are involved. If you met me you wouldn't think I'd tell stories like this.

S/O and I were laying in bed one night asleep. For some reason at different times we both woke up, looked at the other, and saw our face contorted into something completely demonic staring back. The next day we both woke up freaked out. Not wanting to sound like a nut, we calmly discussed what each of us experienced. It was odd how it happened to us both on the same night, the same way.

That was the first of several odd occurrences around that house. Later, we noticed things would go missing then reappear somewhere out in the open. There was always a sensation of something being outside the house looking in. I frequently had dreams of wicked looking creatures I'd never seen or imagined surrounding the house. There was never anything like blood on the walls, but it was a subtle feeling of evil that never really went away.

When we moved, I've never since had a similar feeling or experience. We stayed in touch with the girl who bought our house. Without prompting, one day she asked if anything weird ever happened. She told us several times she would hear a young girl calling out her name.

Call me crazy, naive, an ignorant southerner, I don't care. Three non superstitious types had weird experiences of a sort that felt evil in nature. Were they demons - I don't know. It disturbed me enough, though, that I will never take the concept of evil lightly, and will do whatever I can to never experience anything like that again.

You can bet that when one begins talking about demons, the demons get stirred up.

Thanks for sharing that. The spiritual realm is real.

When is someone going to catch one of these demon beast on video?

What if someone had actually met them but you haven't? Simply because you hadn't met them wouldn't mean they didn't exist.

And we're talking about spiritual beings, which is on a different level altogether.

There's no need to, any more so than there is a need to validate my disbelief in faeries or unicorns. The issue is the existence of deities. The default position, I as see it, is not assuming there is anything. Not necessarily believing there is NO deity, just that there's no reason to assume there is. That's the starting point. Now...here's where things get tricky, and where you will obviously not agree. When OTHERS declare a deity exists (or anything for that matter) they take on the burden of proving their claim. Seems easy enough to grasp. the problem comes in because those that tend to believe in supernatural things, can't provide anything remotely like the kind of evidence any reasonable person would expect to prove the existence of a thing. They're forced to say things like, "My faith is all I need," or, "My God defies being proven with evidence...He's outside of that!" While that may see like evidence enough for someone who ALREADY believes a thing, it's not remotely in the ballpark for someone waiting on actual evidence. In short...I'm waiting to be shown evidence your claim is true. Until then, I'll assume thee is likely nothing until I can be shown there likely is something. I don't need to prove my waiting on your evidence...

So geauxtigerTM, what I got out of all of that is you have zero evidence to support your atheism. And you have zero evidence that god does not exist.


Is this correct? Do you have zero evidence for your beliefs?

One night, I was home alone.

I heard a weird noise in the bathroom, my bath towel was on the floor.

Long story short, demons DO exist.

"Gotcha!"

Where is all this evidence that God exists?

Again, my religion is not the topic here. Say on the subject.

Ready to admit you have zero evidence or proof to support your athetist beliefs?
