  • Because there are no spiritual entities, there is no afterlife.
  • Because none of this exists, psychic abilities are not real.

Where is the falsity in these conclusions? They are only false or not false depending on the person's point of view.

However, it remains, even if there is no God, it does not mean that spiritual entities cannot exist. I mean, physical entities still exist, right? And if physical entities exist, then non-physical entities may also exist. If non-physical entities may exist, they may certainly be across the spectrum from positive to negative—i.e., angels and demons, and everything in between.

Yes, non-physical entities may exist, and you know why? Because everything is possible. I may as well believe in a flying spaghetti monster being the creator of the universe and everything in it and that's as true as your beliefs in angels and demons.
