GHOST: 1.) The spirit (KEYWORD: spirit) of a dead person, especially one believed to appear in bodily likeness to living persons or to haunt former habitats. 2.) The center of spiritual life; the soul.

Wake up people: ghosts and spirits are the SAME friggin' thing.

Sorry, this just annoys the heck outta my poor little brain.

Bah...

Spirits as in demons and angels, not the embodiment of a dead person.

Starr Polish · 08-25-2002, 07:57 PM

Seeing as I'm Christian, I do believe in all that 'crap', as you so eloquently put it.

Well, Sween, who started the thread said...

Has anyone ever encountred a sperit or a ghost?

Did you mean angels and demons or human spirits, Sween? Because I thought angels and demons had nothing to do with this. And it shouldn't since we've already had a religious debate thread. *eyes Starr* No angels and demons, Starr, just human embodiments.

Don't insult her sween. You got mad when people called your whole "ghost" thing silly/stupid didn't you?

And for your INFO both of us believe in that "crap".

Rána Eressëa · 08-25-2002, 10:47 PM

Anyone can believe anything they want as long as I'm entitled to believe in my fluffy pink Oliphaunt.

Ok

. I really don't have a problem with people not believing in God/angels/whatever (Well... I mean I do wish that they did but I don't mind in a "Every one has diff ideas" kinda way) except that it is rude to... well... be rude about other peoples ideals.

Like:

Gah. Rana, you really think that fluffy pink Oliphaunts are real? Grow up. I havn't seen one so there is no such thing dummy.

As opposed to:

*nod* Well

I must say that I have never seen one. I want one too!

Be nice people

Put on a happy face

Do the entmoot hop

The sun will come out t'mara and all that stuff, wot wot!

If and I repeat if ghosts are real, they are probably something like Strawberry described; some type of radiation. I actually read many copies of that X factor magazine, because a few years ago I was into the paranormal and I have read many books on the subject. But I have come to the conclusion thier is no real evidence for it. I have had no 'paranormal' event in my life, so I am skeptical.

Regarding aliens, yes there are billions and billions of stars and presumbly billions of planets, but there are many problems with intersteller travel. The fastest you can go is a bit less that the speed of light - 300,000 kilometres a second. Since the closest star is about 4 light years, away the fastest any alien will get here is 4 years. It would take us with current technology thousands of years. So the chances of aliens coming here - let alone a government conspiricy - is very small. The best way to determine whether there are aliens is to communicate via radio signals.

To say that the current view of space travel is the only way to travel in outerspace is narrow-minded in my view. We hardly understand anything about the world around us. We can't say that anything is impossible - history should teach us that by now. There could be billions of technologies yet to be discovered that will enable us to travel from star to star system.

You know he is worshipping you (don't know why though

), so you should be nice to him.

BeardofPants · 08-25-2002, 11:18 PM

I firmly believe that someday we will use the power available to us to travel in space. And I don't think it will be via a vehicle, but rather via something similar to wormholes. This is how I imagine that we will eventually explore the universe. Even if we manage to travel at 100 times the speed of light (which would probably kill us) we still wouldn't get very far. However, with the power of wormholes, the whole universe is literally at our fingertips in an instant.

Hmm. Isn't this in the wrong thread? Copy & Paste.....

He's not worshipping me, he's trying to kick me. He must know that is futile. What with my honoured matre techniques and all. Silly fly. Step into my lair. etc etc.

***Tessar*** · 08-25-2002, 11:18 PM

Again. Not worth my stupid reply :rolleyes

Starr Polish · 08-25-2002, 11:45 PM

::hugs Tessar:: Thanks for sticking up for me

And Rana, of course there are fluffy pink Oliphaunts...

Everybody has a baby Oliphaunt, yours is alive and mine is a haunt...

Whoa, whoa, okay. Perhaps I should have been a bit more 'PC' and said malevolent and benevolent spirits, but not human embodiments.

Do I believe in human embodiments? Er, not really. I'll explain more later, tired...school tomorrow.

Shadowfax · 08-26-2002, 01:42 AM

Hey Starr - I'm with you too (I'm a proud Christian). As for human spirits, I do believe that it is possible for human spirits to be seen by us on earth (if God wills it -- no one get mad at me, this is MY opinion and belief!), for all fellow Christians, look up the story of Saul and the Witch of Endor, where the spirit of Samuel appears to Saul (this story is in 1 Samuel 28:4-22). But I don't believe in ghosts like "I saw my dead gramma at the top of the stairs" kinda thing.
