    Pend if someone else told me this and I didn’t believe I would think they were nuts. I have seen the spirits of the dead. My first uncle in his early thirties and I am not talking about when I saw things as a very young child. I didn’t know my uncle was dead or had just died in the hospital. I thought he was still in Virginia getting treatment and I lived in SC. I wasn’t asleep walking around the house and I saw him. He smiled talked about how he missed us all and let me know he had to go for now but would see me later. I was in the six grade and it was the summer months. A few hours after my parents came in the door upset letting me know my Uncle had died the same time I was talking to him. I can’t explain or try to convince you different. That’s just one of many.

    Wow Roadmaster, that is interesting stuff. Just to play Devil's Advocate ( ) do you think a psychic experience like that make God's existence more likely? Or is it just ESP?

    I don’t consider it a psychic experience because I never try to talk to the dead it’s against by beliefs and God warned us of this. I think my uncle was just saying goodbye for now. God has spoken to my heart many times but I don’t think I have ever heard His voice. Even coming back from work one day in College, going fast as usual trying to get home, I heard a voice telling me to slow down. I paused, slowed down and right around the curve a grown cow was in my lane. If I had not slowed down, no telling how bad the wreck would have been. I have even faced demons or concerned spirits in my life. That’s why no one can tell me there is no afterlife and the Devil isn’t real.

    Thanks for explaining a bit more RM. Interesting distinctions you make there. It sounds like you've got someone looking out for you, definitely a good thing. For the record I don't think you're nuts at all. There is a lot that science can't explain, like I said already.

    It's entirely dependent on our own predispositions. You allow for such possibilities or you do not.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    Here is one for you. When I was young, woke up at my Grandmothers on my Dads side, (was spending the night with her) Went to the kitchen for a glass of water. Got a glass and got water, turned around make a sandwich. Before I got up from the table, looked out one of the windows because I heard a noise. It was very breezy that night. There was a barn with a loft, all of a sudden the door to the loft swung open. I saw a lanky tall man with a rope around his neck. With his head down, he lifted his head and started laughing. Never told anyone until around 5 years later while on the porch with my Dad at my house. Now that night right after running back to the bed, I keep pinching myself thinking it was a bad dream but it wasn’t. When I told my Dad he asked me how I knew. They never kept any pictures of that man and I could still describe him head to toe. In fact they never talked about him because he was one of my Grandmothers brothers that had in fact hung himself in that loft. To this day I can still see him and remember what he looked like and the clothes he wore. I have yet to figure out why I was the one that saw him. Ok course Dad thought at the time it must had been a nightmare or that's what he said at the time but you could tell it bothered him. Years later I talked to him again in my mid 20’s about it. He admitted then their was no way I could have know this. I think it scared him more than me.

    Next I will talk about the spirits or demons. They surrounded me once. I can't explain why these things happen but it's real.

    Wow, now that is a trip. I believe in God like I said...for me stories like that don't add or subtract from my belief but I do find those kinds of phenomenon interesting. It definitely seems like you are more attuned than most to that kind of paranormal activity, or maybe they seek you out for some reason? I've never had anything like that happen to me. I don't think it's because I'm close minded. If something like that happened to me though I would probably freak out big time.

    Do you consider it a sin to speak to the dead? Do Christians generally believe that?

    The reason I ask is because RM mentioned that God warned us against it.
