do you believe in ghosts?
Tue Jul 15, 2003 10:21 pm
weve prolly had this thread before, but closest thing i can remember is what happens when u die...
i certainly believe in ghosts, my grandpa was diagnosed with a special type of heart disease, and only had a suggested 5 years to live (he lived 8) but he visted all his familly withen 2 weeks of when he died (i guess he knew it)
before he left, he said, "when i die, you will know that im watching over you whenever the clock starts running" (he was talking about the clock in the livining room that was antique and had broken over 20 years ago, we just left it on the mantle for looks) recently, when we are all in the family room, it will start ticking, then it stops when we start to go upstairs.
that, for me, is enough proof of ghosts.

I don't beleive in them in the least. I personally don't need to attach any sort of happy ending to a person's life, ie living on in the spirit realm. When you die, you die, that's it. You're either worm food or you end up in a jar on someones mantle. The end.
Furthermore, I'm a very much a skeptic of everything. Unless I can see, smell, touch, taste, or hear something, or science has proven it to exist, I'm usually a non-believer. There are some nebulous areas to this thinking, as I do believe aliens exist, even though there is absolutely no concrete proof they exist. In that case, it's more of a "in a universe this big, we'd be stupid to assume we were alone in it" kind of thing.
But ghosts though is a little far fetched for me to beleive. A "person" is simply a collection of energy coursing through a brain. and while energy can exist and be supported in many forms, our brain energy has basically shown than it needs a body and a brain to support it. If it was simpler than that, people would've long ago been able to "download" a person by simply plugging their brain into a battery. Ghosts, being the theory of life energies sustaining themselves with absolutely no matrix whatsoever is not only foolish, but scientifically unsound.
*slinks off to cold, godless existence*

Back in high school a friend of mine's parents moved into a big old house and there were times that the lights and various appliances would turn on and off, but we always played them off as being faulty wiring since the house was so old.
Well one night a couple of us watched a stereo cabinet (it had wheels) roll across the room, so I guess it was either a ghost that moved it or the six hits of acid I took playing with my mind. Either way it was the last time I ever step foot in that house.

Sorry Zog... but I couldn't resist....
There are no ghosts. Actually cow, I will support u on this one.
There are no UFOs. Anytime I look up in the sky and don't know the make/model of an airplane, it is unidentified.
There are no angels. Sure there is, in Califonia, and they won the World Series last year.
There are no gremlins. Actually they are called Moguay (sp?).. just don't feed them after midnight or get em wet.
There is no Santa Claus. well this sucks!!!
There is no Tooth Fairy. sure there is .. his name is Bubba.
There is no Easter Bunny. I agree here. Latest rumors say that it became road-kill somewhere in the midwest.
There are no storks that deliver babies. I have a cousin that just recently had a baby, and he said that he very rarely has sex with his wife..
There is no ESP. I knew that you were going to say that.
There is no re-incarnation. isn't there a "movie syrum" that brings dead bodies back to life.
There is no link between the stars and your life (astrology). My girl calls me the "big dipper" and I'm sticking with it.
There is no Transporter (Beam me up, Scotty!). but wouldn't it be soooo kewl..
There are no Klingons. If klingons are those little balls of crap that sticks to your ass even after you wipe.. Then they definately exist..
Mars is a dead planet. Actually it is a candy bar.
There is no cheese on the moon. I think some cartoon character prooved this.. Bugs Bunny maybe.
There is no pill to make your penis larger. But the women don't need to know this.

Never done acid... But I wonder sometimes about the house I bought... it's 100 years old... who knows how many people may be haunting it, sometimes I swear there's something there when I wake up in the morning... I'm probably just paranoid, though...
As far as what keeps me (the atheist) going... I dunno, there's lots I haven't done yet, so why not hang around and experience some more stuff... that and getting religious zealots who try to preach to me to question their faith... it's usually very easy since most "religious" people don't know squat about their own religion and the history of the church...

Know what keeps me getting up every day?
The hope that people will eventualy come to their senses and realize that This is it, brother! Life is special. When you die, it's game over. No 72 virgins, no fluffy clouds, no Pearly Gates.
You had better make the best of what you have now, and give life the respect it deserves. When you're dead the only contribution to anything you'll be making will be to the food chain.
