Define what a ghost is?
Where does it (they) reside and why? Please provide your scholarly well-boundaried scientific studies here...
Sure, and you provide the scientific definition of leprechaun.
Your ears are so full of themselves, they cannot hear anything that is trying to be communicated to them.
And some people's heads are so empty they'll fill it with any old nonsense.
Keep 'em coming.
Does a bear shit in the woods? Not if I dont see him do it...
Remember that when you step in it.
"Paranormal bear shit! On my shoes! Call the Enquirer!"
Atheists dont beleive in anything but themselves; which makes life harder for the rest of us.
Atheists don't believe in a theistic god.
Use a dictionary. Learn what words mean. It might make that hard life a little easier.
Some atheists believe in ghosts. Some believe vaccines turn your blood to acid. Not all athiests are realists.
The first half of your statement is just a lie, and the second half... that's just sad. If I don't automatically fall into line with your religious and supernatural beliefs, that makes your life hard. School must have been a bitch.
Men have twisted religions into a ball of shit, it is an attempt to define what cannot be accurately defined.
Religion = myth.
There. Saved you all that twisting.
"Man" has created every word we currently use to associate all things we know, does this mean that this is all that exists?
If a distant planet in another galaxy has its own ppl and language indigenous like, but we are unaware of it, does it not exist?
This argument is what they call a "straw man". You can go look that up too.
If we do not know another species exists, then our lack of said knowledge does not affect it's existence.
Our lack of knowledge of them doesn't give you carte blanche to then describe them in detail, their habits, biology, and favorite TV show.
If you want to convince someone that Ghosts and Gods are real then show proof of them. Claiming "We don't know everything!" has never proven the existence of anything.
Understand this, ANY words used will create potentially unintentional boundaries, thus beginning interpretational errors, and its all fucking downhill from there.
Categorization of concepts or words has no effect on whether the ghost of Aunt Martha hangs around throwing good china at the walls.
She is there, or she isn't.
Religion helps people find appreciation for the fact they exist, and can be grateful for it, often providing a healthy structured life to billions of people.
Some take this measure to an extreme which isnt healthy or accurate. Balance of all things is key. Shitty people can have any name, and come from any religion, inacurate interpretations they define lead them down more selfish paths.
And some people find appreciation for their lives in science, others in the observation of nature. I've never heard of anyone burned at the stake in the name of bird-watching though.
People have done bad things in the name of science, though there is nothing in science to justify those actions.
Scripture can provide you with all the justification for any good or bad action you want. You can quote mine it to meet any criteria. Genocide? Check. Murder? Check. Slavery? Check.
Now, who wants a non physical visit?
Of course, it wont actually exist if your an athiest?
Are you offering to haunt people?
Is this a free service or do you charge? Do the Ghostbusters know about you?
