[RPKESQ]

I only believe in things that are reproducible and verifiable. Does that mean ghosts don't exist? No, it means there is no evidence that is reproducible or verifiable for their existence, so I do not have faith based belief.

Human senses and minds are notoriously poor at accuracy in observations (human eyewitnesses are proven to be the worst evidence you can present in court). Unless trained, the human mind is forever trying to slot all perceptions into a pre-existing slot. Most people never explore rational explanations when an emotionally comforting myth will suffice.

Ever notice that gods or spirits used to be seen by thousands and wonderful miracles occurred.

But now with the almost universally common cell phone camera, the only apparitions are on moldy bread or water stains on concrete. Miracles degraded from physically impossible to the laws of physics to people under the care of doctors improve or heal more than expected. What happened to all the UFO pictures? Where did the miracles, bigfoot, Loch Ness monsters go?

I do not mean to disparage those who believe. But to remind everyone that your "angel" is someone else's Elvis, bigfoot, Neisse, UFO, Ouija board, fortune cookie, astrology, reading of entrails, etc. A very slippery slope, indeed.
