Reply #3: I have heard people

say pretty much the same thing. I can't speak for the "ghost" portion of what you said, but as far as the religious aspect of it, yeah, I've heard people say you have to believe something in order to experience it. Sadly, long ago, I used to tout off that stuff, too. I've since come to realize that experience must come first. I use a lot more logic now, and logic dictates that one can't really truly believe in anything without experience coming first. It's kind of like someone telling you that if someone hits you, it's going to hurt. You may believe what that person told you but if you've never been hit before, how do you TRULY know if it hurts or not. Once someone hits you, and you've EXPERIENCED it, then you could truly say hitting hurts, but only because you experienced it. Crappy example, but I guess it works. lol.
