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.

    You may have misunderstood me - supernatural theories are worthless because they are non-falsifiable.

      That doesn’t make them worthless. Have you ever listened to stories that may involve potential supernatural forces?

        Yes, I don’t believe any of them to be true. Most cultures got incompatible explanations to them, without a way to tell which is actually correct - my take is that each explanation is made up. And because people believe those explanations, they are not interested in digging into natural explanations.

        Examples: seizures, schizophrenia, natural disasters, weather, infectious diseases

          Yeah, some stories can be rationally explained. Can I interest you in some legit YouTube channels that specialize is such stories? Hearing some strange unexplained ones might change your perspective.
