I never really thought about it before but semantically ‘atheist’ only means ‘no belief in God or gods’. Technically it shouldn’t preclude belief in spirits or other supernatural elements. I suppose the closest thing to complete disbelief in the supernatural is ‘skeptic’ but even that’s up for interpretation. Do satanism and humanism explicitly rule out any supernatural?

Take heart friend, big changes are coming for you! Up until this point in your life your friendship groups, your family and the other people in your life have been largely determined by chance - but starting now you have the reigns. From now on, where you choose to study or work or hang out will be a reflection of your personality and the odds of meeting like minded people goes up hugely. It sounds like you already know a lot about who you are, the reason you’re coming up feeling incomplete is probably because you’re a bit different to most people around you. That’s actually a huge strength and something to be proud of. Embrace your uniqueness and enjoy finding out more about yourself.

1. Possums are not native to China or new Zealand. Australia is correct but they can also be native to New Guinea and parts of Indonesia.
2. Certain species of possums like the ringtail can have partially hairless tails.
3. When comparing to Australia’s most common possum (Brushtail, max 4.5kg), the Virginia opossum is bulkier but has roughly the same body length. The largest possum (Bear Cuscus is nearly twice as big)
4. Sources vary but it’s clear there are significantly more opossum species than possum species.Possums species are much more distinct though.

Not to mention, a lot of Google’s ‘answers’ link right back to threads like these anyway
