[Matt]

But what about the ones that are not has ridiculous have a certain amount of merit?

Please say "as".

Please say "as".

I keep trying to check my grammar.

I would agree with you that the existence of ghosts would be some supporting evidence for religion.

I disagree. I see no correlation between ghosts and religion other than the spookiness they both share.

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

If anything ghosts go against the concept of right hand path religions.

Souls.

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

Souls.

But in both chirstianity and islam, souls do not stay on earth after deeparting the mortal shell.

While humans may be the only species that can reason we're also the only animals with a 'spiritual' side (that I know of correct me if I'm wrong.) So wfk.

That's mythology, and another subject entirely. The existence of ghosts would definitely prove something other than itself.

Depends on how ghosts exist; one could easily argue that they are nothing but the quantum remnants of spatial memory in the fabric of space and time.

Or you could use some other bullshit hogwash.

Thats a stupid point to bring up because:

a. Animals don't usually sit down with a cup of coffee and tell us shit.

b. Humans have had free time for several thousand years because of innovations in agricultural technology. People wouldn't be sitting around thinking about this shit if they had to spend all day gathering food in order to survive.

c. The human mind grasps for explanations for phenomena, and will usually fill in missing peices with with something paranormal.

ex.: Some random cave guy eats a berry he wasn't supposed to. Perhaps he doesn't remember eating it, or perhaps it fell in with the other berries he was cramming his mouth with. He begins to hallucinate. Would he :

Claim he's had a supernatural experience?

Assume he's ingested a toxin that has caused him to hallucinate but has not killed him?

Kind of like all the oracles in history hung out in gaseous caves, mercury laced toxin filled labs, or somehow ingested a shitload of toxins before gargling out thier unprecise, undated predictions for some moron to warp to the context of any situation.

Yet if cattle or horses or lions had hands and could draw,
And could sculpture like men, then the horses would draw their gods
Like horses, and cattle like cattle; and each they would shape
Bodies of gods in the likeness, each kind, of their own. - Xenophanes

Proof that there is a God? Personally, I'm convinced.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Same here. Guess I should close this thread.

Nah, I'm sure another good religious topic will be put forward.
