Welcome to the forum, colpat.
What, exactly, is a supernatural? How does it differ from assertions of unexplained magic that are portrayed in fiction?
What is your definition of a spirit? Is it something other than an allegation of unexplained magic?
What is this God you say you worship? I assume that you are not claiming to have ever seen, heard, smelled or physically touched this God you are alleging here. So, apart from having a personal belief in this ostensible thing, how is it objectively knowable?
What I mean is "knowable" in the way we can know and experience, say, disease. For example, I'd prefer to not believe in the existence of cancer, but I don't have that choice, because cancer is objectively real and has observable properties.
What do you think any of us here can observe about an alleged God without specific prompting from a devout believer?

They're not meant to be hostile questions. You know me; I'm not confrontational. I just think it's important that we define our terms, or how else do we know what we're talking about?

As Justin so eloquently points out:-
Quote:
Technically, there really are no Chaplains in foxholes (in the US military.) They are designated ‘non combatants’, are not assigned a weapon, and are not supposed to be on the front lines of a battlefield. If they somehow stumbled into a foxhole, it would cease being a fighting position. It would simply be a hole.

I never quite understood the claim about there being no atheists in foxholes. It sounds like a gross bit of projection to me.
Is religion supposed to be the natural refuge of feeling fearful?
When I'm fearful about impending pain and/or my own mortality, is it a natural reaction for me to imagine that a magic and benevolent white man will protect me from that fate, even if I was not culturally primed to imagine that such a vision had powers to protect me?

I didn't teach in the inner city. The "or something" was as a USAF pilot with hundreds of combat missions. My aircraft was hit only one time. I've flown over USSR. I have close personal friends who were prisoners of war in Hanoi flying the same kind of missions.
