Of course I can't be absolutely sure that the afterlife, the Tooth Fairy, and leprechauns aren't real. But they are so unlikely that there's really no reason to take them seriously. The Tooth Fairy doesn't exist, leprechauns don't exist, and the afterlife doesn't exist.

There is a mountain of evidence supporting the idea that everything about your consciousness and experience is encoded in the neurons of your brain, which are doing nothing but following the laws of physics. If anyone wants to propose that there is possibly such thing as an afterlife, they're going to have to show that there is some possible mechanism that preserves the information encoded in those neurons, and they're going to have to show how it works. The idea that your consciousness could float around in some non-physical form after the destruction of your brain is, with the amount of evidence we have (none), exactly as plausible as the idea that your digestion will float around in some non-physical form after your intestines die, or the idea that your computer files will float around in some non-physical form after you destroy the computer.

If it weren't for the emotional comfort of pretending you can live forever, nobody would take such nonsense seriously.
The way you wrote that made it appear as fact, but it's not. It's your opinon.

I'm not decided on the matter - and wont be untill i see one in real life or untill i die.
I am decided on the matter. Not 100%, but to the same certainty that I believe leprechauns and unicorns and fairies don't exist. If I did see absolute undeniable proof of a ghost, leprechaun, unicorn or fairy, and I could be sure I wasn't hallucinating, I'd have to change my mind, but it would be quite a surprise because these mystical beings are almost certainly not real.
Oneironaut Reviewed by Oneironaut on . my ghost picture re-visited I posted this pic a few years ago on the old marihemp boards. would love to know what you guys think of it. ive checked out a few ghost pics on the net and i dont think any of them show as much detail as this one. If you look behind me in the photo just to my right you will se a kalidescope of light and right in the centre of the light is the figure of a person. I'm the guy not wearing a kilt btw. pills.
