I kept my skepticism to myself out of respect for being a guest at another person's meeting (although quite a few people there were also skeptics, and where approaching this from a "lets prove all these ghost stories wrong" perspective). <br /><br />But really, it was just an interesting experience. Kinda like going to catholic mass in italy was an interesting experience, but I don't believe jesus was the son of god. And going to a zen temple was interesting, but I don't believe meditating and being hit with sticks brings you enlightenment. I like experiencing other cultures and meeting people with different beliefs than I have, especially when they are talking about those beliefs. After all, I AM a sociologist. :)<br /><br />Of course I'm 'willing' to hang out with them, I'm willing to hang out with all sorts of people whose beliefs I don't agree with. In fact (*gasp*) I even have close friends who are religious and believe in god! :)Abandoning Edenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12696116071749613265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552682727548828725.post-68068938570831189802009-12-31T02:19:49.460-05:002009-12-31T02:19:49.460-05:00So you think religion and belief in God is stupid,...So you think religion and belief in God is stupid, but you're willing to discuss the possibility of there being ghosts? You're ok about hanging out with people who believe in ghosts? That's all good?<br /><br />Really?<br /><br />;)<br /><br />Don't atheists by definition reject the supernatural?WebGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03136375487829231176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552682727548828725.post-3200693322169888842009-12-30T22:16:17.137-05:002009-12-30T22:16:17.137-05:00I had to resist saying: "There's an easy ...I had to resist saying: "There's an easy way to see if there are ghosts.
