Think about this - Cake - 08-31-2013
If you believe in ghosts/spirits/demons what ever paranormal beings wouldn't that technically make Christianity plausible?

Don't really know how believing in ghosts or demons would make it plausible.. Expand a little?

I think most people who believe in ghosts or whatnot, have had specific occurrences and experiences with them. It's another way of explaining the unexplainable, like all religions attempt to do.
I don't think it necessarily makes Christianity as a whole more plausible, but I think it does make the possibility of a higher being more plausible to the person. Religions are a lot more than just an "invisible being".

Similar to a ghost except with powers etc. So wouldn't demons and all the other types of "sprits and ghosts" make Christianity more plausible than it is taking in account that these "are real".

I see what you mean, but no, I don't think this would work.
I get the concept, but it would come down to people's personal beliefs. The whole "seeing is believing" would come into play. I personally have never seen a ghost, so I would say that they don't exist. However, I know of people who have. I'm not one who believes in that I have to see something to be true, but many other humans do.
It maybe helps a little, but probably not enough if someone was to get into a debate about it.

I believe in ghosts. When my grand mother died, I feel that she was beside me.

The catholic church still performs exorcisms so it's possible that demons walk the earth around us and that can lead to an increased plausibility of god. Personally I believe (not going to push anyone in to religion) and I find it backs up Christianity even more.(08-31-2013, 07:48 AM)Heaven Wrote:(08-31-2013, 07:44 AM)Matrix Wrote: Don't really know how believing in ghosts or demons would make it plausible..

I've always been thinking about this to. I'd like to see what others think of this.
RE: Think about this - Harvey - 08-31-2013
I see the link between both ghosts/spirits and 'god' being unseen, mythical things basically. Truth is, some people think there's more proof of ghosts and demons existing. This shouldn't be exclusive to Christianity either since other religions believe in gods.

It seems like you are desperately looking for validation and acceptance for your religion. No, it would not make it more plausible at all. Considering there is a thousand other spiritual religions that believe in the same nonsense that Christians believe. As far as I am concerned the way you look at society is this. There is Christians and other people, am I correct? Well no. Christianity is not the only religion out there. There is Islam, Judaism, Theistic Satanism, Luciferianism and many others that believe in a "God" I will appreciate it if you actually took time to think about your subjects and elaborate on them also to look for pros and cons. Not just one side.
