Re: OT: Do you believe in ghost or evil

Interesting subject. I do believe in evil for sure but also firmly believe that evil, ghosts, spirits, or anything beyond the grave cannot touch or harm me. I dont believe in voodoo, spells or any of that harming me either...Its the evil folks that are still upright and walking that I worry about......
