Do you believe in ghosts?

[Tanas]

LOL no that's just silly. Consciousness does not survive the bodily death

This, for the most part.
Though any apparent paranormal occurrence is either a fabrication or demonic influence, not dead humans.

There is no such thing as anything Supernatural. Things are always hallucinations from people either because of mental illness, drugs, paranoia, or something else coming from within. As far a demons, angels, gods, etc; no evidence supporting it gives me no reason to even consider believing it

You stated that as if it were a fact...
Is it only supernatural because scientists have not found and explained it yet? Seriously, if we grew up and all dads became elves, and moms became fairies we would be so used to it that it would not be considered supernatural. Plus faires and elves would probably not be in games anymore, they would be as boring as humans in all RPGs.

Thats because it is a fact.

That's proof enough for me, sorry for being so damn foolish!!

 

[JulietStMoon]

Gahars, yeah I heard that too. It's crazy

 

[Haloman800]

There are familiar spirits, as in demons and angels, but your physical Spirit moves on either to Heaven or Hell.

Glad I got you to see common sense.

I already said that a fabrication can often be the cause (and I don't believe in "ghosts", per se).

There's no testimony (not sure it's the good word) about "enormous invisible pink teapot orbiting the earth", but there's a lot of people saying they saw/talked/beleived in ghosts or spirit, life after life, another world, etc., regardless of their location in the world or their religious belief or era they lived.

Sorry, but I'm using your point to backup what I have to say.

I don't believe in ghosts and think that if nobody had thought up the idea / story of a 'ghost' in the first place then nobody would be scared of them or even see anything now. It's just the fact that the idea has been planted in our minds ever since we were children; if you were to raise someone in an empty room with no contact to the outside world I bet you that they would not believe / be scared of / ever see any form of ghosts in their lifetime, even after being 'released' into the outside world.

In fact, if ghosts hadn't been thought of, somebody else would have probably come up with the story of big pink invisible teapots orbiting the earth and we'd all be scared of a teabag invasion. With stories popping up in the local newspaper every few weeks about how "Man claims to have seen large PG Tips bag floating in the sky".

Edit: That's still not to say I'm not scared of them. Stupid films / books / media / this thread have planted too many ideas in my mind and now I'm paranoid about it... thanks.

I'm already scared of this... it's called "playing first person shooters on XBox Live or PSN."

Lol, I knew that was coming as I typed it

 

[ShinyLatios]

Eh, again my theory on this kind of stuff: something paranormal/holy that doesnt show itself obviously doesn't want attention, so leave it be.

Sounds like a good decision.

On the other hand, anyone have a Silph Scope? That might help us out!

 

[ShinyLatios]

Just got one, here you go!

SLATIO (my pokemon red name) handed over the SILPH SCOPE.

I don't believe in ghosts or the paranormal, also I believe that if there is a god we were created for his amusements

but being muslim, god created angels out of light without a will of there own and god created the genies out of fire and with free will some of whom defied god and dedicated themselves to cause humans grief and lead us astray (as demons). So I want someone to throw water at whatever he/she saw and tell us what happened

Again, implying I was foolish and you were not. =P But I can't see gravity, so I choose to not believe it. If you believe in it you have a mental illness. Just sayin'.

Be told that I you have a mental illness by the like of you, is the equivalent as someone with Parkinson disease telling a corpse that he has the shakes.

That would've been a groaner if it was a good one.
