Just want to show my support for this forum!
thanx

I feel it would be a good area as i have stated before about 1 in 3 people belive in ghosts. I am sure this will make some of the Christian paranormal investigators more at home. Also I thik non-paranormal believers will find just how much work goes into the investigation

Why not have an astrology forum? Or an alchemy forum? Or a gris-gris making forum? Perhaps something about the Illuminati taking over the world? Why not have a section dedicated to Abraxoid gems and uses of the name Abraxas?

Perhaps we should have a section dedicated to taking the Flying Spagetti Monster seriously. Or maybe even taking Discordianism seriously.

Perhaps a section on predicting the second coming of Christ based off of the number of blue pixels on the screen three seconds into any film made by David Cronenburg or Alex Cox.

I don't think it's "devilish" or anything. I just find it to be superstitious.

demons in disguise... that's what ghosts are..

This is assuming ghosts are real instead of mistaken assumptions.

Believing in the paranormal goes against what the Bible teaches.
Because there's no verses in the bible that talks about spirits, demons, ghosts, witches, healings, defying gravity, changing water into wine, or anything like that. ^_^
Paranormal:
of or pertaining to the claimed occurrence of an event or perception without scientific explanation, as psychokinesis, extrasensory perception, or other purportedly supernatural phenomena.

I personally find investigations into reported paranormal activities to be extremely interesting. I voted Yes. :)

After thinking about it, a problem I have with this is that I can see it easily degenerating into three groups flaming each other, advocating either:

1) "Jesus wants us to engage in necromancy"
2) "All spirituality is dumb and this proves it"
3) "Groups 1 and 2 are going to burn in Hell because they're doodie heads"

(Note to mods if I get reported by someone that does not read my whole post, I'm not advocating any of these three views).

The folks that want to have reasonable discussions trying to prove or disprove the existance of the paranormal, or just discussing reasonably it and how it relates to Christianity (without going completely redefining Christianity), could be drowned out.

I'm not thinking about a debte type forum but a forum for people to have fun discussing the field of paranormal investigations and to tell others about their expernices

It would quickly become a heated debate forum.

Look at the General Theology or Non-Christian Religion sections.
