reasons given for religious belief

[Riverwolf]

I couldn’t care less what anybody calls me as long as it is non-theist, agnostic, pantheist or atheist. As admitted before, I have a huge handicap, or maybe it is an advantage, my brain always asks for scientific evidence. There is also a deep admiration for the magic of reality and I think science, better that anything else, can tell us what is really true. For me there is nothing beyond natural (super) or normal (para). :magic::no:

Well, the way I see it, if something exists, it is natural. It therefore stands to reason that the supernatural is actually an invalid term; if ghosts exist, they are natural. If the soul exists, it is natural. If God exists, He is natural.

Of course, the word "natural" derives from the word "nature", which can have several applications, some of which contradict each other. If by "nature", we mean the currently observable universe, then of course God, souls, ghosts, etc. are supernatural since they are currently above ("supra") the currently observable universe. On the other hand, if by "nature" we mean "something that exists on its own", then supernatural becomes invalid.
