Yes something, can an atheist believe in souls, I think so lol, souls are not god, I am sure science will eventually find whatever is behind these strange observations, but I don't think it fits the monster ahem god of the bible, and monsters in most other scriptures, I am not alone in my family to see things either, though what I see does not scare me, I enjoy the feeling of there being an entire world beyond our world, that I can see glimpses of, adds color to life, rather than remove from it.
Of course even if there is nothing after death I don't really care, it only really bothers those who are left behind, those left alive. Those who are dead, if they don't live on in some form are not suffering, since they don't exist anymore, and that beats the suffering many have to go through in life. Life has been suffering for me, and is from time to time, so sometimes I would welcome oblivion, though life is also often fun, so I try to look forward to the fun times, and to remember the fun times of the past, rather than dwell on the dark and suffering.
To reiterate though, the religions of the world, all of them I know of, I feel are not for me, and of those I know of the three Abrahamic religions, in all their splinter groups, are the worst ones. I think their desire to control the world and what all people do, not just their followers, is a very bad thing, then again it fits with their gods.
I believe in letting people live the lives they want, to do what they want with themselves, and those who want to join them in doing said things. As in never doing something against someone that that someone does not want done to them. There are others that can explain it better than me though
Now this is not nearly as good a flame post as my last one in this thread, and it seemed to fizzle too, sorry for failing to entertain Grm
