Is the fear of ghosts and gods innate to human beings?

From a certain point of view, gods and ghosts are accumulated by human beings through millions of years of evolution, which may come from our ancestors' fear of darkness and the unknown.

For example, even a person who claims to be an atheist may unconsciously be afraid of ghosts when he walks alone in an uninhabited alley at night.

No, it's nurture. The prerequisite for fear of something or something is that you must first understand its nature and not understand where the fear is. And the essential consciousness of ghosts and gods is not something that humans are born with.

It is not innate, but it is mainly influenced by acquired environmental factors.

For example, I have seen or heard too many rumors and stories about gods and ghosts.

Isn't there a saying? The unknown is the most terrifying.

If one day the god is confirmed to exist or not, then this fear may not still exist.

Hope it helps.

The fear of ghosts and gods must be a product of culture and environment, and in the constant indoctrination of fear of ghosts and gods since childhood, we unconsciously establish a conditioned reflex with the fear of darkness and the unknown inherited by human beings in the long process of evolution (that is, one of the collective unconscious mentioned by Jung), thus producing the fear of ghosts and gods.

Personal opinion, please advise me if there is anything inappropriate.

No, you think, people are just born like a blank piece of paper, so know how to be afraid or not, this is an acquired influence. Sometimes you don't know why you're afraid, but you're afraid because you don't know what it is, and you're thinking about it in your head, often thinking about the bad side.

With these answers, I'll still use my personal experience to talk about it, far afraid of water and close to afraid of ghosts, ghosts do exist, I saw it a month ago, you enter the post, my name is a rocket, you see what scares me into, people's fear is innate, the acquired impact is a little greater, not fear but really exists, one thing I don't understand, why those unjust souls don't seek revenge from the person who killed them, but wander around, scaring others.

It's an acquired influence. I watched too many horror movies, and if I believed him, I didn't believe it.

On the way to run in the evening, there are constantly people burning paper and ingot-shaped paper money on the roadside and riverside, and the smoke rises to the fire, and the people who stand by the side silently turn the fire.

Whether it is a big city like Kyoto or other medium-sized cities, before the Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, and COSCO Festival, you can often see blind stools at crossroads and riversides.

This is a way for people who are far away from the countryside to pay tribute to their deceased relatives, who are far away from their hometowns and cannot go to the cemetery to sprinkle and mourn, so they pay tribute in this way.

There is no heaven in the world, and when there are more people who believe, there will be a common imagination. In fact, the so-called gods are also the common imagination of human beings, and they are the responsibility of human ancestors for unexplained things. If you can't explain it, you just use the unexplainable god as a shield.

It has been said that one should have a sense of reverence. But to ask: what is in awe?

It is okay to revere knowledge and the unfathomable universe, because the accumulation of knowledge has gone through countless generations of experience in exploring the objective world. And for the universe that we can only observe with astronomical telescopes, we can only sigh to ourselves how small human beings are, maybe a star's ** can destroy human beings, just like a bear child peeing on an ant nest, being destroyed is just a more powerful and advanced existence than you feel that it is fun to be in the sky.

However, there is no need to fear ghosts and gods, because there are no ghosts and gods at all. Ghosts and gods are just concepts imagined by humans to scare themselves, and some people are so frightened that their souls are scattered. There's nothing more hilarious than watching the ignorant bow to imaginary concepts!

But it's so interesting that it's still happening in this land, and it's going to continue to happen!

To put it bluntly, the inner thoughts, the inner needs, and the inner mentality, if the mentality is right, it will not be gone, how to get up. It's just distraction, it's an escape, and if you really have to face it, I don't think you dare, to put it bluntly, you're insecure. It's up to your own mind.

I can't help you. You have to believe in yourself. All I can say is.

How did the ghost come about. It's the wrong time. Wrong place.

Something wrong happened. People think it's a ghost. That Wenchuan ** is also a ghost.

Maybe. You tell me?

I can't see it, I can't touch it, I don't know what the so-called ghost world is all about, but I can tell one thing, ghosts exist, and their abilities are more powerful than people, because I have been on the body of a ghost, and my mood has been unable to control myself, and I have been depressed for months, and I don't want to do anything, I don't know what kind of mentality that ghost is... It's a very depressed feeling, I was very optimistic, the mood is very good every day, since that time after being possessed by it, the mood can't be controlled, I don't want to do anything, even my favorite computer game I don't want to play, that kind of day is not comfortable, but fortunately an accident let it out of my body, I returned to normal.

Guilt deep in my heart! You can't live if you do your own evil, don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door!

The fact that ghosts and gods do not exist now is that they have not yet been discovered, and that does not prove that they will not be discovered in the future. The reason why the ancients were in awe was because they did not know about ghosts and gods.
