Do you remember when you stopped believing in ghosts? And if you still do, do you wish you didn't?
I still believe. We had a ghostly visitor for a month or so about two years ago. I actually wrote a hub about it called Ghost in the House. I got the feeling it had a great sense of humor and was just having fun with us. Then it left and hasn't returned. I'm glad I still believe. I hope it returns one day.
I believe in them. I can't imagine why I'd wish I didn't. I've had too many experiences not to, but even if I hadn't I'd still believe. Nobody knows for certain what happens when we die, and that means anything is possible.
Still believe in them big time. I always have. Partly because I've always known they were there and partly due to experiences proving their existence to me throughout my life and as recently as last month.
I'm still a believer, though I have gotten better at debunking phenomenon. Oddly, the practice of debunking has only strengthened my belief. If you eliminate all of the physical causes, what's left but something that's not physical?
Very nice. There are some coincidences that are far more than mere accident. Some of us are starting to wake up, and not needing these human bodies, we effectively become "ghosts" (holy spirit, true self).
Never stopped. And I don't wish to stop.
Why?
Because I know that I am a spiritual child of God with a temporary, Homo sapiens body. I've been outside of my body (effectively a ghost). I have seen the world around me without the need for human eyes.
Most "ghosts" are unaware of their surroundings. They exist in the "darkness" talked about in the Bible, brought on by the poison of the forbidden fruit -- ego, in all of its action-reaction dichotomies.
I long for the light of truth wherein my spiritual eyes will once again be opened and I can see the universe on a more permanent basis. That way, when this human body dies, I will have continuity of consciousness -- effectively, everlasting life through Christ and God.
I never believed in them and I am glad that I still don't. I can't imagine being spooked by things unseen.
Always have, and I guess I always will. Stories of ghosts fascinate me to no end! I've had one experience... and that was enough to convince me!

Former Christians: Do you still believe in God?I'm doing research for a book I'm working on. After leaving Christianity, do you believe in God, or have you become an atheist or agnostic?

Hey guys, put yourself in my shoes for a sec here. I know its hard as hell, but just try. How would you feel if someone was spreading abominable stuff about your country? Stuff you know for a fact isn't true. How do you know it isn't true? Well, for starters, you live in the country, and something...

As an American, do you still believe in living ''The American dream''????Though I am not an American, I have always felt driven by the slogan 'living the american dream'. But in recent years with all that is happening in the states, I can feel that passion die away slowly. Is it only me?

Atheists, can you remember the moment you stopped believing in god?Obviously theism and atheism aren't switches that can be easily turned on or off. These kind of decisions are made after a lifetime of knowledge and experiences. But, as an atheist, can you remember the moment where it all added up?...
