“If we only see the finiteness of space and time for each separate thing in the universe, and assert that the entire universe’s space and time are also finite, it will lead to an absurd illusion, thinking that outside this real world there exists a super-spacetime, super-reality ‘God’ world, and we will fall into religious superstition and idealism.” — “Dialectical Materialism and Historical Materialism: A Tentative Lecture, Volume I” compiled by the Department of Philosophy, Wuhan University
I once imagined what it would be like for the material world and the spiritual world to coexist. In reality, dualism ultimately leads to idealism; materialism and idealism are irreconcilable. Materialism can only be a monism of matter.

I previously had the same logic, believing in things like gods, ghosts, and spirits.
