I recently deconverted last year. During the process, I learned to be skeptic on supernatural events after watching debates and some episodes in AXP.

That's just me after deconversion, so I'm not sure if all exchristians are the same. I'm wondering if there are exchristians who believe in other supernatural things like ghosts? Or aliens?

i already posted this in lemmy.one from my world account, not sure why it's not showing up so re-posting again to see if it goes through

It's very common for deconverts to turn to other belief systems. Both my wife and girlfriend are ex-Christian, but they ultimately turned to paganism. It makes them happy and they don't require me to agree with them, so tolerance is possible.

For myself, I think we experience things we don't understand all the time. The problem is that "I don't know" doesn't justify "therefore god/magic/supernatural." I don't question that people experience extraordinary things. I question their conclusions about things they don't understand.
