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

The reason for my deconversion was entirely related to my epistemology; I realized that one could believe literally anything if one did not require reliable, high quality, supporting evidence of said belief.

This thought hit me in an instant sometime in 2016, when I had been out of church settings for a long time by that point but one day I was thinking about christians convincing themselves that a certain US presidential candidate was anointed by God / on their side / whatever. It was like snapping out of a dream/delusion; belief in anything without good evidence suddenly seemed ridiculous.

Since insufficient evidence is available for any supernatural thingies, I no longer believe any such claims.
