Dont discount Voodoo either, it is a religion just like Wicca or Paganism to generalize.

As for everything else, its all natural to me.

I know there are people that practice witchcraft, just as I know there are people that practice voodoo.

I just don't believe in all the hocus pocus. I don't think any sort of magic exists, therefore I don't believe that 'spells' can be cast or voodoo dolls poked at the discomfort of the likeness.

Voodoo zombies can be made, but they use an herbal powder (And they aren't really zombies, they're just people who have been poisoned.) Just like everything, there is an explanation.

'Magic' is not real. (Not to me at least.) The world's greatest 'magicians' are really only illusionists, that know how to play tricks on your eyes.

That is my opinion.

P.S. I don't believe in psychics, telepathy, that John Edwards guy, or astrology either.

(The fact that I don't believe these things exist does not mean I don't enjoy discussing them with individuals who do. I enjoy hearing all sides.)

I kind of agree with that. Look at the number of things that were "monsters" a long time ago, but are now just "animals" (elephants, whales, giant squid)

But i like the idea that some things are so far out there that even if they were emprically identified and categorized, they would still be "supernatural". I dont know if you are familiar with the game "Shadowrun", but it presented things perfectly. in it, magic and "monsters" have become an everydaypart of life on Earth, but some things are still supernatural, even though they have perfectly scientific explanations.

I think life is just more fun if we have magic and ghosts, even if magic turns out to be simple quantum physics and ghosts are just stored energy with a conciousness.

I'm hoping i am expressing that in an easy to understand way. it's a weird concept that is easily muddled in the explaining

Okay, maybe we are a little further apart than I thought. I do not believe that explanation of ghost to be logical. I don't think they exist in any way, shape or form. I would love to go stay over at a 'haunted' house or castle or something like that, but I think everyone else in the group wouldn't enjoy my company because of my skepticism. Still it'd be cool to see if it could change my mind.

I voted yes because there are things that happen that just can not be explained in scientific terms. Also just because you do not see it, does not mean it does not exist.

so it's possible that purple flying monkey headed 2 ton elephants exist ?

Ever read "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"?

In an infinite universe, yes, they do :)

Considering that I live in a haunted house, I'll have to say yes,

Life on other planets wouldn't blow my mind.I don't think they would be of the cliched variety,i.e. big eyes, green skin, butt-probing, lazer shooting kind.
Vampires and werewolves....nah.
As far as ghost go ,seeing is believing....I haven't seen any yet.

My thoughts exactly...

Its kinda medevil to put all of lifes meaning into the "afterlife". To think that your purpose is to live a good life so that you can live with your blood forever imortal in eternity. But also, in an infinate universe, everything must be equal and balanced so if there is a death on earth then there should be life some where else. Energy is redisperced staying the same on both sides of the equation. Positive, negative and nuetral energy make up every little part of every little thing so I suppose if you live your life positively, not good or bad, then when dead and decaying your energy would be disburst through out the infinate void as positive enerygy, or would it be as equally negative as it was positive to balance it self out? Im so stoned.
I beleave there is a creator and I have a soul but we as a people have no purpose/ or are not aware enough to know our purpose so we are constantly in some sort of catch 22.:rolleyes:
