Comment on Atheist and Spiritual stamp by nothinplz
Well, if you mean paranormal activity, that's not exactly the same as spirituality. Spirituality is more to do with the conscious mind and inner spirit. Ghosts, as portrayed in the media, are basicly flying souls that haunt some place on the planet where the person was deceased which I personally don't believe in since they haven't been proven. Same can be said for mythological creatures.
Yes, I do know it is not the same.
With spirits I meant those you mentioned, and also the own soul being reborn in other human, to keep living, in a second life.
My question: is it hypocritical to believe in such things and not in another supernatural being, -such as God, for example?
I do think it is, therefore I don't know what to call myself. Christian or agnostic atheist?

Ah, I see.
I don't think it is. The example you mentioned was reincarnation which is mostly a Buddhist belief and Buddhism doesn't have a personal God to worship.
Plus, agnostic atheism just means not believing in a God and not knowing if it can be proved or disproved (hence the agnostic part). I know some agnostics and atheists who believe in reincarnation or a possible afterlife.
So yes, it is entirely possible to believe in it without a supernatural being involved.

I'm happy then! I'm not entirely sure about the existence of God, and I don't feel like it can be proved, or disproved.
I may be an agnostic atheist after all, haha. (yet with some beliefs in minor supernatural beings... oh help me)
I'm the same. It's always confused me. hehe
