"I think you misunderstood what I meant by that quote.
What I was saying was that you cannot impose your beliefs upon someone else based upon your own experiences. "

I kinda had a feeling that's what you meant. But the topic is something of a touchy situation, especially for me. Actually I've always been completely facinated with the paranormal, and anything to do with it perks up my ears. But time after time whenever I apply real scrutiny to the situation or event, there's always a lot of holes in the real facts, or there's a conman behind it trying to pull a fast one.

You see people being taken in and ripped off, or literally dieing because someone has sold them a line of bull. Just turn on the TV and watch John Edwards work a crowd of amazed believers as he cons them from a very personal and sensitive advantage point--the loss of someone they loved. To me that is one of the most obscenely unethical acts someone could commit.

History and events have proven its very dangerous to let your guard down where mysticism is concerned. So I'm quick to throw up the caution flags when I hear someone overly willing to accept the supernatural without question.

Still, I'm all ears myself and am always looking for that one shred of real evidence that something unknown could be at work.
