Re: The paranormal and your religion. - December 19th 2010, 04:18 AM

Do I believe in the paranormal? I don't know. I need proof before I can say I do or don't for sure. If they do exist, I don't believe people can be possessed. I believe that people may have the ability to communicate telepathically with other living human minds, but I don't believe we can contact the dead at this time.

When I refer to a "spirit" or a "soul," I'm usually referring to the core of one's being, what makes her human (as in her mind). Or, if the person is deceased, I'm typically referring to the memories I have of her. In that sense, I believe in spirits. My definition of "spirit" differs from the religious definition significantly, just as my definition of "faith" does. I have faith, most definitely, but not in a god per se. I have faith in humanity and in nature.

I hope that answers some questions.
