@Zombie: I'm not sure how you can take offense to me saying you're a "self professed ghost hunter", because... well you are. You came onto this thread and said;
Quote: "My friends knowing I was an avid ghost hunter at the time..."
If you were taking offense to me saying you'd already made up your mind... Well, someone who hunts ghosts has already made up their mind haven't they?
If it was the fact that I wrote "and all" after Ghost Hunter, and suggested a flippant attitude to you going hunting for ghosts... what can I say, its not meant to be personal, I'm just flippant about ghosts in general. I'd suggest that if I told you I believe in a celestial teapot, you might be flippant about it, no?
In response to the Life as a ghost part; I think you're making an assumption that all ghosts are sad or had tortured lives or deaths. What about people that didn't even realise they died? If you believe in a soul etc. then whats to stop it believing that it is still alive? If you couldn't see your body, or you didn't see your death coming, would you know?
How exactly does one ascend (or more ominously, descend) to the after life? If you believe in Heaven and Hell, perhaps you could say that Hell would be living on earth as ghost rather than a place with lots of fire - you'd be surrounded by the richness of life, but unable to experience it, that truely would be hell.
I don't have a sig, live with it.
