So many people in this country call themselves Christians. When someone they love dies, they say that person is in heaven. YET, how many people also think their loved one is somehow watching over them and visits them? My ex-wife’s family talks about her departed sister as if SHE is God. Something falls over – that’s her. Something good happens – that’s her. She is watching us. They practically pray to her when times are tough. So is the person in heaven or is the person floating around my living room? Which is it? I could be mistaken, but I thought that if a loved one is a ghost… that would mean they aren’t in heaven. Or are they just all floating around waiting for the resurrection? I don’t think people have any damned idea what they’re talking about. That’s why ghouls like John Edward sicken me. That bastard preys on people’s grief and cold-reads his way into their beliefs. He should be strung up by his balls until he admits he’s a fake.

So when someone dies, people say they’re in a better place, right? Well have you noticed that those same people say stuff like, “I think she’s here watching me” or “I felt a cold feeling when I went into her room” or “She gave me a sign” or “I thought I saw something move by her room” - stuff like that? Well… those are ghosts! You can’t have it both ways. A person can’t be up in heaven and also be roaming around their old stomping grounds.

To me that also confirms my theory that people “find” religion as an act of desperation in such times. The same way they grasp onto the idea of their ghost loved ones. That’s why jerks like John Edward have become so popular. That ass uses cold reading techniques (and savvy editing on his TV show) to make people think he’s communicating with their dead relatives. It’s ghoulish, but you see how desperate these people are. Shouldn’t there be a distinct line between ghosts and heaven? There should but there’s not. I guess people like to cover their bases by believing in both at the same time. Does the Bible support the idea of ghosts? And I don’t mean demonic spirits. I mean - if a person is going to heaven, does the Bible support the idea that they can communicate or somehow still be in the vicinity of this world? Eh hem.. No.

Sylvia Brown was once approached by a couple on the Montel Williams show. They said their son had been kidnapped and wanted to know if he was still alive. Sylvia said that he was dead and the person responsible had dreadlocks. Well a few years later who would have guessed that this boy turned up alive in a high profile case, and his kidnapper was a regular old fat white dude. The kid’s name was Shawn Hornbeck.

I’m an extremely skeptical person, and get more skeptical every day. I said it before… I think there is more evidence for UFO’s and ghosts than there is for the reliability of the Bible as an historical document. There is certainly more to the world that we can sense. (We know that’s true – X-rays, gamma rays, frequencies we can’t hear, etc.) Maybe that’s not ghosts though.

And what about expelling demons or ghosts? Most religions deal with ghosts/possessions. I think it’s odd how a witch doctor in Africa can expel ghosts just as efficiently as a Catholic priest. Does that mean both of their gods are relevant? Why would ghosts respond to more than one god during exorcisms in different cultures? If Jesus’ name can expel them, why are they also expelled by Kabuto the God of Dirty Feet? Anyway…

I wonder how many demons/spirits/ghosts (I’ll refer to them as DSG’s from here on out) throughout the world have been successfully rebuked in the name of Allah, Buddah, Mohammad, etc. If a DSG has been driven out in the name of a false god, does that render the entire process moot? I don’t think using the name of Jesus would scare a ghost, unless somehow that ghost believed in him too. But why would a ghost believe in Jesus? Can you give me any non-Biblical citations of ghosts/demons/spirits being driven out in Jesus’ name? How about non-Catholic? Why do the Catholics believe in possession but the non-Catholics don’t? Someone is wrong there.

I can get creeped out at times about the thought of ghosts, but I think if they do exist they’re no more powerful than we are. Probably less. I mean moving a chair or knocking stuff over isn’t exactly my idea of powerful. My twins did that when they were toddlers. Didn’t really scare me. If ghosts do exist, I think they’re just as stuck in their world as we are in ours. And maybe they don’t even know what they are or what we are. It could be ghost sightings are random chance encounters where the energy from both planes materialize to each other. Think about it – if we all turned out to be ghosts without realizing it, we would be “haunting” certain areas that we spend most of our time – our living rooms and our bedrooms, computer rooms, etc. Who’s to say that my bedroom is the lobby of a hotel in some other dimension, and they occasionally see my energy walk by? Do I believe that? Hell no! But who knows? I’ve considered the possibility that ghosts are actually living people from different times whose energy somehow becomes apparent to us. How about the possibility that we’re seeing our OWN energy from days, months, or years past? I can create as many crazy theories as the next guy.

For the most part, I’m just not scared until I have something to be scared of. If I ever come face to face with a ghost, I’ll 100% believe. If I ever come face to face with God, I’ll 100% believe. (That reminds me of another Bible contradiction. In some parts, God appears, but in other parts we are told no one has ever seen God. Haha.). I do believe that there is more to the universe that we can sense, as that is proven. I also believe that most of the time UFO’s, ghosts, etc. end up being people’s imagination run wild, and these things can be fueled by conspiracy theorists themselves. Sometimes I think ghosts are the adult version of the boogeyman and God is the adult version of Santa Claus. Of course I still love watching UFO and “mystery” shows out of sheer curiosity, too, so what do I know…

I wonder… if a DSG is just a form of energy, would a big electromagnetic pulse blast ‘em to smithereens?
