Though I mean, you have to see where saying "I absolutely believe there is no such thing as "paranormal" things, but as long as they are somehow based on Christian mythology, I absolutely believe in supernatural things" is apt to cause some confusion.

Alright, for now, how 'bout this: I don't believe in ghosts. Maybe I'll follow this up tommorrow (today?). |

Well...correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that what you're trying to get at is "I don't believe that the souls of living humans could possibly stay on earth after death, they must go either to heaven or hell" Which works fine for ghosts, but "paranormal" doesn't -just- mean ghosts and spirits, it means (insofar as I understood the OPs version of it) to mean anything which defies logical scientific explanation, which many of your existing beliefs about supernatural things would fall under....
Can we generally sum up your opinion on the matter as "I believe in supernatural phenomena, but whatever it is, the earthbound soul of a dead human isn't it" ? |

The interesting thing to me is that I share that belief of yours but not the same basis for it. I have no problem believing in "ghosts" in the sense of beings that are like what we describe ghosts as (incorporeal, usually invisible etc etc) but I share your belief that whatever they are, the souls of dead humans ain't it, but not because I think they are in heaven or hell, just that I personally believe that death is death, and that's it. My own theory on "ghosts" has more to do with the many-worlds theory of quantum mechanics, but that's its own topic, and not something for a general "thoughts on the paranormal" thread. |

Any pictures of ghosts or whatever is garbage. With modern day technology, we can make anything look real.
Any people who actually see ghosts are either lying or are just thinking it in their mind. And once they've "seen" a ghost chances are they will see them again because they believe ghosts are there. If you think a ghost is in front of you, chances are that you'll see it. Your mind plays tricks on you. |

I don't believe in UFO's because close to all 'sightings' were actually new planes that the government hasnt released to the public as of yet
-and we of course cant forget about the ever so common, those people were all in it together to start up trouble! theory lol extraterrestrials...there is a SLIGHT possibility, because if you think about the probability of having the perfect planet, in the perfect orbit, in perfect evolutionary process to create the independant thought, that the thought process is greater than ours to send 'stuff' from across many galaxies before we do are pretty much none for just general talk, there are many things we do not know, even if we do know a lot. the seasons changing could be used as an example. back then, people would think the seasons change due to some greater force changing it, but after a while, we discovered all it is, is that the earth orbits.

yep that's the main thing. Evidence. I don't need a lot of evidence though lol. All I need is a ghost story that sounds reasonable and I would believe almost 100% of it, unless if it was a little altered and I knew that it was lol.

Usually Paranormal Activity comes from a small amount of information thats new mixed with at least the smallest belief in it, if it isnt entirely based on new information that is. |

Paranormal Activity is probably real, but it's simple to hoax. Movies and television shows are definitaly overstating the so called truth for our entertainment. Of course there are thousands of pictures and footage of paranormal activity, and there is pages of 'evidence' pertaining to hauntings and ghosts of some sort, but their not 100% sure..yet.

Indeed, the media is always making ghost shows. They're usually pretty good, but somehow a lot of what they talk about in them doesn't seem right. For one, because noone really knows what HAPPENS after you die or whatever.
