There is a reason why necromancy is forbidden in scripture.
Let us proclaim the mystery of our faith: Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again.

Lord I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.

Oy. You'd think they could just lay off..
Do you mean kinda like a demon vacation? :pound:

Q: Where do demons go on vacation?

To sustain the belief that there is no God, atheism has to demonstrate infinite knowledge, which is tantamount to saying, “I have infinite knowledge that there is no being in existence with infinite knowledge".

What's to explain, the practice is detrimental to one's soul.
Let us proclaim the mystery of our faith: Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again.

If they had a social gospel in the days of the prodigal son, somebody would have given him a bed and a sandwich and he never would have gone home.

After reading your answer, I did the same: I googled ''existential angst''. The various hits under that heading were even funnier than what the anonymous poster intended! He - the anonymous poster - especially liked the reference to Caco ergo sum* on Wikipedia's Uncyclopedia which pretty well sums up this whole topic about Jesus & ghosts.

FL

*How do I translate this politely into English? Hmmm...a literal translation in Spanish it would be Cago, entonces soy. In French it would be Je shis, donc je suis...which has a nice rhyme to it...!

A politically-correct English version would be: This bunk smells of skunk.
