It either does, or it doesn't. Show me a ghost. Can't? Then I don't have to believe they don't exist, I can sit here and KNOW they don't exist because you can not prove it.

Contrarily, you can "Believe" that something DOES exist. Easter bunny, santa claus, ghosts, god, whatever. You can't prove they do, yet you want to think they do. You're forced to "Believe" that they do, in the absence of proof. That's the problem with logic. You can't apply it to bullshit "Beliefs." Logic dictates that there is no such thing as ghosts. You die, it's done. Sorry, that's just the way it is. There is exactly zero evidence to suggest any other theory, therefore you can logically deduce that the only explanation left must be the conclusion.
Zero evidence to suggest? I suppose you dont consider personal experiences relating to the subject for the history of mankind to qualify as evidence?

You dont seem to have a good a good grasp on what "logic" is. And id have to say bullshit in that every concept you accept as existing fits the criteria of first hand experience. Logic dictates no beliefs one way or the other concerning ghosts or an afterlife. An opinion either way is a belief based on nothing (assuming you have no experience of evidence).

I mean one could say the billions of first hand accounts of supernatural experience constitutes evidence of something. What that is who knows.
