How does that leave your "faith" Yada?

Because the atheist has had no experience of a spiritual realm, does that [lack of 'experience'] establish the 'impossibility', of the existence of a spiritual realm?

And would the reasonable person, require that 'rational' community members must accept, only the atheists perceptions of what 'reality' 'is' ?

And, to an atheist, is any differing experience [of another person] always going to be invalid,
...because the atheist has not shared ['known'] such an experience?

Take the example of the existence of radio waves;

500 years ago, radio waves effectively did not exist [within the human experience].

Why?

Because we humans cannot see 'invisible' radio waves.

But today, a human being of average intelligence, would not dream of claiming that radio waves do not exist.

AND SO, LOGICALLY,
Even today [in this technological age], there must exist, the real possibility that there are many real phenomena [even which still exist within 'nature'] which our human senses [and our present technology] cannot perceive.

Only an arrogant person would deny any possibility, of any other,   ...'reality' being possible.

OR CONTRAWISE, are atheists suggesting [i.e. are they going to try to impose the 'belief'], that only the experience of the majority of mankind, can be a basis for defining our reality,    absolutely?

And are atheists suggesting that because our human senses [still] cannot perceive as yet, undiscovered 'phenomena',
or are they suggesting that because we have not yet created a machine which can sense them, that we should always dismiss any possibility of the existence of those 'things', which as yet, remain undiscovered,
and which as yet, remain unknown to the perception and comprehension, of the common man ?

I admit it, yes, i am a little strange.

And in confirmation of the 'strange' part,        i believe that,

Angels are real.

Demons are real.

God is real [yes, my 'imaginary friend', the one from the bible].

Satan is real.



I believe that all of these entities are spirit.

I believe that [atm!] demons are largely constrained [and for the most part, are they unable to harm us].

I believe that all mankind are [also] spirits who are [somehow] constrained within these physical [earthen] bodies [until we die].

I believe that this physical 'reality', is a form of prison for us.
....or perhaps more accurately, compulsory 'school time'.

I also believe that this physical world is a 'construct' [a creation, a 'reality'] made by God.
