Do you believe in an afterlife, Ghosts, Aliens, God, spirits or any other stuff that can't really be explained/most people think is crap?

I do believe aliens exist somewhere
but it seems unlikely that they would travel light years across the universe just to bum some redneck in Alabama.
(, Wed 15 Aug 2012, 12:24, Reply)
Oh, right, I missed the "aliens" bit
I'm fairly ambivalent. That's about the only thing whereby a belief could be acceptable, since it's demonstrably impossible so far to produce evidence of aliens, but equally that's because there is so much of space we don't have any information about.

The rest, on the other hand, are horseshit, and anyone who goes "ah, yes, but there are things science can't explain" needs a fucking hard cunt in the murray. Yes, well done, there are loads of things science can't explain. Science is aware of this, this is why science didn't stop ten years ago with a smug look on its face. However, the fact that science can't explain something does not mean that it is somehow acceptable to give creedence to some half-baked woo horseshit you invent to fill the knowledge gap.

I wouldn't say i believe in it,
but i am fascinated by it, and what people choose to believe in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
I get the Fortean Times every month, and although a lot of it is new age hippy crap, there is a lot of interesting articles on parapsychology, archaeology, break downs of UFO sightings and all sorts.
There is some genuinely unexplainable stuff i reckon, but it'll get explained eventually, but only if we take some of these crackpot stories a bit more seriously, and really have a look at it.

I genunely believe in something, I just don't know what it is.
Figments of my imagination creating a real sensation in my senses, or actual spiritly otherworldy event, I just don't know... maybe the spirit lives on in the minds of others and that is what it is? Maybe a spirit is just an idea; an imprint of some kind. Maybe it's a phsyical minifistation as people believe?

I don't dismiss it or look down on others who believe in it though. In fact, I kindda feel sorry for those who truley believe without a doubt that there is nothing to believe in.

I have seen a ghost. However, I do not believe in them.
Hold up, I'll explain.

I do not believe in the unresting souls of dead people. I do believe that there is some sort of naturally occurring effect that causes the brain to interpret certain stimuli in a particular way. There was an online article that explained that certain noises, if of a low enough frequency, are inaudible yet can fuck with your inner ear in such a way as to create feelings of distress and uncertainty.

I saw what looked like a child. At the same time I was acutely aware that I wasn't actually seeing something physical. It's like my brain was telling me something was there, but my eyes couldn't see it. Imagination and emotional response filled in the rest.

I know a ghost story
There were 3 brothers, a big one, a little one and a medium one. They were really hungry on their travels, when they came across a cave, and inside the cave was some toast on a golden plynth with a spotlight on it.

The first brother; the youngest. He was so hungry, this toast would be his, so he ran up to the toast so and as he went to pick it up, he heard the spooky sound of "WoooOOOOooooohhhh, I am the ghost that guards the toast". Well, the youngest brother, he ran out of this cave and told the midium brother, who didn't believe him.

The medium brother then ran into the cave, and as he went to lay his hands down on the toast, he heard the rattling chains and the haunting sound that we all dread to hear; "WohoooooOOOooooHhhhhhh, I am the ghost that guards the toast".

He ran out as quick as he could be, he ran to the oldest brother, "THERE IS A GHOST HAUNTING THAT TOAST, DONT GO IN AND GET AT IT", but the oldest brother didn't believe him.

The oldest brother ran in, and before the ghost had a chance to say anything, the oldest brother gobbled up that toast. He had every last crumb, and as he swallowed the last bite, he heard our dear friend, the ghost, one last time.

"WooooooOOOoooohhhh, I am the ghost that guards the toast. I warned you once, I warned you twice... I wipped my bum on every slice".
