I like to think that God created ghosts, if he in fact created everything,. It makes sense to me! Plus, people who answered you and gave all their hubub about “God is in everything” and God is this and that…..well, then why wouldn’t God also be part of the supernatural/paranormal occurances? Also, for the others who told you that there is no proof of ghosts that cannot be argued against or debated, the same goes for God. I choose to believe in both, personally, but I’m not about to sit here and answer you as though I am the supreme expert on the subject like others have.

There are many great answers posted already.

Some people need something more then themselves to believe in. Hence God. The funny part is, Latin America is VERY Catholic based, yet many also partake in Day Of The Dead. So they do believe in ghosts. Halloween is one most Americans would understand that basically used to be known more like our day of the dead, also believed as the day the veil between worlds is closest to ours. But most people have lost touch with our basic knowledge of Holidays and why they are celebrated, most have fallen to commercialization.

One poster had stated when Jesus return he said he was not a ghost / Spirit. Wouldn’t that there suggest that there would be such a thing?

Guess it scares people to believe in ghosts because if they do believe then they would also believe that if they live their life wrong of their religious rules then they could be denied entry to their heaven. Hence one theory about ghosts.

Anyway my 2 cents.

Your logic is somewhat tainted.
I do not believe in ghosts, however I DO believe in God.
Yes, I have never seen either, but thats just how it is.
Following your logic, every one would have to believe in everything they have not seen!
Do you believe in Thor?
How about aliens?
Santa?
By the way, people only CLAIM to have seen ghosts, don’t you find it odd that those same people can not provide substantial proof? If proof where available, proof that would remove ALL doubt, then others would begin to believe in ghosts much like they did when it was proved the Earth was round not flat.

So, I’m a christian, and obviously I believe in God, I believe in the trinity(the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit) I believe that in the existence of evil spirits and stuff. I mean I don’t like them but I believe they are very real. But yeah, I’m not sure completely what I think about ghosts, cos I guess they’re the same as spirits… but yeah I guess it’s just people’s different interpretations of what they’ve seen…

Well I would guess if there is a “holy spirit” then there can be other spirits.

This is an age old argument that will be solved someday. We may see it or we may be long gone by the time that the answer is told.

Why even ask… I did and got the same BS answers you are getting. You know what you believe in and that is all that matters. Finding those that believe as you do is the key.

Most people have never seen god and most people have never seen a ghost. It is hard for someone to believe in something that they have never seen. The biggest difference is most of us have been told since we were too young to understand that “there is a god and ghosts are not real” so what do you expect them to think. It’s not their fault.

My best advice is believe in what you want to and don’t let others who don’t discourage you in what ever it is that you want to believe. They used to think the earth was flat and you were stupid if you thought anything else. They used to think the sun revolved around the earth. That says to me that we are a not as smart as some would like to think… more like arrogant and one sided.

Anytime that someone closes their mind off to thinking outside the box they will stagnate and stop learning.

certain people believe in God and not ghosts because the bible says there is no such after life for it . If you are one of his chosen then your in heaven . If you’re not , you are basically sleeping until the great judgment . There is no in between .
Hope I helped

I dispute your claim that people have seen ghosts.Ghosts are not real,it’s silly and childish to believe in them.

Some people say that based on their religious belief. If their religion says that dead people don’t come back as ghosts, then they don’t believe in ghosts. It’s just their religion. Now as to whether the religion makes sense or not, that’s a different question. But much about the major religions (and minor ones) don’t make sense yet they are accepted as truth. I guess that’s just part of faith.

But conversely, most people who don’t believe in God don’t believe in ghosts, it seems. And that makes sense since a belief in ghosts would suggest an afterlife which also suggests a god.
