But I like that the video inspires you to consider your life in terms of karma. To me, the religious debate can be problematic, as it’s like someone saying, “I like apples the best” and someone else responding “No, oranges are better.” There’s no point enforcing your beliefs onto others. If they prefer apples, then they prefer apples, that’s all there is to it. If everyone believed the same thing - whether it concerns religion, politics, or whether pineapple on pizza is a ridiculous concept (one of my lifelong convictions by which I will stand until my dying day) - then the world would be a boring place.

I want to believe that Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld will be punished in hell, but logic tells me that won't happen. I'm not sure I even believe in karma, really. I mean, "as above so below" right? Then above must be pretty corrupt, because the "above" here on earth sure don't experience bad karma. If there was such a thing as karma, how did George Bush become president?
I would like to believe that someone as powerful and controlling as Dick Cheney could probable handle being reincarnated into more than one body. I would like to see his soul reincarnated into 10,000 war ravaged, starving babies. If there is a god, please let this happen!
That makes no sense to me. Why would a loving caring person, who is the personifacation of god, be so conniving with his gift? We learn from trial and error, why would hell become the result of an error?
Seems to me that this Judeo Christian god is a bit of psychopath and not worthy of mine or anyones admiration, and must be a fraud.
I don't understand how this all corresponds with the concept of a all knowing god...
The real question is why do you need anyone besides yourself to determine if you're a good or bad person.

First I enjoy the Tv program Celebrity Ghost Stories, much better than the plumbers that should stick to plumbing and those stupid ghost Avenger retards. Those shows are a joke. People who mock, make a joke of or sensationalize the paranormal on TV claiming they think they seen something always gets me thinking bullsh@t.
However,
for Bubba's story. I believe him. I myself experience something similar and It has made me search for more than 31yrs afterwards to find answers.
