Are we in the end of times?

[bwind22]

I have been in a couple so-called 'haunted' houses (James J. Hill House several times as well as a couple other, less well-known, ones.) While there, I like to challenge the 'ghosts' to come out and do something to prove their existence.

So far, I have yet to see anything abnormal.

I think most people who tell ghost stories are full of shit and just want attention. Most don't have witnesses. But I do. I don't know if it was a ghost, or some lifeform that we're just not aware of.

Interesting. I myself believe in ghosts. Rememer, just because you can't see doesn't mean it isn't there. Well, see it with the naked eye that is. It has been known that some people do indeed see ghosts every now and then. The dead is among us. But don't fear them, they are here to watch over us. Now, I'm not saying that there isn't a evil ghost, if you will, but still, I don't think they are here to harm us or scare us, as many ghost movies make it seem. http://www.freewebs.com/creephouse/realghost.htm .

And as for ghost storys and 'haunted' houses and such, well I don't believe in that. Even though I've witnessed a actualy ghost before in a 'haunted' house, I still would like to see more proof. Most ghost stories around here are indeed lies. I say 'most' becasue I've yet to visit each 'haunted' house. Most of them have real big historys behind them and the ghost stories about the house are like something in a horror movie. They make it sound like the 'ghostly trio' haunt the house.

And now as for the end of the world, well I, personaly, think that it is indeed near. My I bring back a happening in the Bible? A village of the name of Sodom Demori, I belive it was called, filled with queers. God was angry at this. He said he was going to destroy the village and everyone in it because of thier horrible sin. He said "if you can find just one man who believes in me, truely believes, I won't destroy the village." (Or something similar.) They searched and searched but found no one. And thus, the village and people were destroyed. Now because this horrible sin is still around today, the planet as we know it, along with hte people, will be destroyed. I think there should be a KKK against queers. Sure, the KKK will go to hell for killing, but the world wouldn't be destroyed and the end won't come. Thats what I call taking a hit for your country.

End of times? Nah... But I'm pretty sure we're on the verge of a very dark period... And it will be quite ironic that a being so proud of its rationality is thrown in such a hard time by its utmost ignorance...

Well, obviously we are in the middle of some really violent times. The worst I have seen in my lifetime. But, I am sure that the human race will survive. In fact, I don't think we'll end up destroying ourselves. I think, if the human race DOES become extinct, it will be from a viral outbreak OR the greenhouse effect OR the sun dying and swallowing the Earth in its death throes.

I don't believe in ghosts. I believe what orangestar said about them, that you have to believe in some sort of afterlife to believe in spirits. I don't believe anyone who says they have seen a true ghost ... unless I believe that THEY believe it. But I'm sure that if I was with them at the time, I would not have seen what they saw (or knew what it really was and told them.) IF there is anything remotely like a ghost that exists, it would simply be the leftover residual energy from what was once living. Our brains are constantly producing energy, and I suppose it may be feasible that some substances (or even certain buildings) can absorb this energy and release it on occasion ... particularly if the once-living produced an abundance of this energy (like a prison, filled with despairing prisoners; or a house with a violent history). But even in these cases, it would just be non-conscious energy. More like the house (or whatever) is replaying the past like a casette tape.

I used to be pretty active in searching for ghosts when I was fresh out of high school. I would take my video camera to any old and deserted houses I could find in the middle of the night and just walk through them, filming. I saw some weird stuff (bones in a fireplace was the oddest) ... but never got a ghost. Caught a loud fart from one of my friends, though.

By the way, is Freddy joking? WTF?

My question is not if it happens BUT what will you do if it happens. I guess if it's the kind of end you can see coming what would U DO??????

[Stingy Jack]

Man ... depends on how much time I got.

Like, if it's the sun dying scenario -- I'll have about 8 minutes to live. So, I suppose I would kiss my family goodbye and hold them until the end comes.

If it is something I can see coming, but have a lot of time ... I would just spend it with my family. We would just drive, and try to see as much beauty before we croak.

Man ... that's too depressing. I need to go on to a different thread.
