    For one their faith is more important than anybody elses talk. If one is believing in miracles then whats exactly wrong in it ?? At-least that person is not subscribing to child marriage, worship of human genital parts, drinking of cow urine and such. Do not ridicule people for their faith.

    If they existed (which they obviously don't) they wouldn't disprove atheism. The only thing that could "disprove" a disbelief is if the thing that isn't being believed was proven to exist.

    based on your second sentence, "The only thing...." then your first sentence "would disprove atheism"? I'm not following your logic.

    Give yourself some credit, you aren't that thick. You are just pretending to not understand it in leu of being able to rebuke it.

    Atheism isn't a disbelief in ghosts, so the existence of ghosts wouldn't make the disbelief in a god wrong.

    You are going off track here. "Ghosts" sightings are still in question but I know they do exist, after all, they are spirits. However, religious mass sightings occur only in Churches. Actually, in case you don't know, the church have witnessed different apparitions from saints to virgin mary. However, Virgin Mary is known for her mass apparitions which is usually accompanied by a peaceful message. Apparitions can be in the form of luminescent light but can also be very detailed to show the actual features in order to be better recognized.


    Best she can do? Where you waiting for a thunder strike or something? Its enough blessing for us to have virgin Mary descend from heaven and give us a peaceful visit - in other words its ok, Jesus is with you. We don't even deserve such a holy visit. The event itself is energetic accompanied by many miracles. The blind regain their sight and the crippled can walk to prove the existence and the kindness of God and his blessed mother.

    When I ask you to think deeper about this, you might want to focus on these points rather arguing whether doves fly at night and Virgin Mary's powers:
    1) If spiritual figures exists, then eternal life exists.
    2) Do humans adopt these spiritual forms after death? If so, where does it go?
    3) If you were convinced that she was actually virgin Mary, what would that mean to you?
    4) Why would these mass apparitions occur via the Christian Church?

    That is your opinion. I think that Jesus if he existed was the result of a horny Roman soldier meeting a young girl who couldn´t keep her legs closed. Prove me wrong if you can.
