    You have fairies in your house too?

    Thought I was the only one.

    What theory are you talking about?

    Anyway, I do not believe in ghosts. I'm not denying that there might be things in this world we do not know of, but until I've had several encounters myself, or someone proves it, I don't believe in ghosts.

    My girlfriend does though.

    I believe that when a person dies, his 'energy' is somewhat left behind. That's why there are called hauntings, especially if that person died a tragic or violent death. They tend to reenact how they died, my only 'logical' explanation of rattling chains, ghastly cries and weird shadowy figures. And no there are no fairies in our house, just dwarves.

    I do believe in ghosts, though I have never had an encounter. I tend not to believe a lot of stories though...

    I think that makes more sense than someone's listless energy just appearing out of thin air. I'll go with that for now.

    I've never actually seen a ghost but I like spooky things, so I'll say yes I believe in ghostage.

    I'm pretty apathetic to the whole ghosts thing. As long as they don't touch any of my stuff, we're cool.

    I was killed by a ghost once. Wasn't as sucky as you'd think. I was chatting with God, discussing whether or not I'd go to Hell, and then he read that I'd been killed by a ghost.

    This is what happened:

    So, yeah. I believe.

    Yeah. Why does God think no one wants to go to hell anyway? All the good music and movies and pictures and whatnot are in hell. The best art comes from suffering. I mean, seriously. What is anyone going to do for fun in heaven?

    Oh, sorry about being off topic. Harle-Quin led me there.

    Well, if you think about it, your version of Heaven could have all the suffery good music and whatnot.

    I think Islam wins with 13 virgins.

    Yeah. But Quin, who's going to write this music? Is it going to come from hell? Doesn't that make God a violator of interdimensional copyright law? And isn't he supposed to be perfect?

    And I'm not sure how many virgins they get in Islam, but I'm pretty sure it's between 70 and 79. That's a big difference from 13.

    To be honest, God can do whatever the John He likes. Who's gonna stop Him? Plus, you have to realise that God Himself has already committed most of the 7 Deadly Sins, which proves that He clearly doesn't base His judgement on them alone. He probably only condemns those who listen to crap music, and like modern art.

    I never listened much in RS. But still, 13+ is all gravy to me. That's amount, not age.

    yes i beleive in ghosts, and also beleive there is one in my house. I conversed with one when i was a lot younger...and then described the old man that had died in our house before we bought it perfectly as the one i was talking to...that and i've heard my bedroom open and close randomly when i'm home alone...and no there is no draft doing it...

    Besides...i beleive in souls, and perhaps that they're in between death and afterlife...
