From a Christian point of view I know that Ghosts are just unclean spirits/fallen angles do we have any other oppions.

I've drunk more than my fair share of unclean spirits and let me tell you, those fallen angels do a number on your stomach.

Prove to me that ghosts, spirits, and/or angels exist and then we can talk about their origins.

What's the distinction, again? Ah, yes -- if at any point in its manufacture, it could have been made into beer, it counts as an Unclean Spirit, right?

My favourite Unclean Upirit is Glendronach, though I'm partial to Highland Park as well. Of the Clean Spirits, my day favourite is Plymouth gin, and my evening favourite is Appleton rum.

A further interesting theological question is that of the so-called Foul Spirits. I have found it possible to have a sick fascination with the dark powers of Sauza tequila. While living in Greece, I also dabbled in the occult domains of local demon known as tsipporo, a much more evil and demanding hellhound than it's more widely known cousin, the fallen angel Ouzo.

I hope this helps with your inquiry.

I don't think any discussion on the Foul Spirits would be complete without a reference to Moloch himself: Grappa. Made from the detritus of that apostate known as unconsecrated wine, it retains both the flavour and intrinsic evil of the feet that pressed and degraded the formerly Immaculate Grape.

I praise all the powers of sweet glacier run-off, that my tongue has never been corrupted by the evil Grappa.

I am unfamiliar with any orthodox Christians even RECOGNIZING the existence of ghosts, let alone attributing their theoretical existence to anything specific.

Do we have any other options? Uh.. I guess. What the hell are you asking?

Do we have any other opinions? Uh.. ditto.

Do we have any other onions? Yes, plenty.. in the cellar.

Let's give it a bit to see if perhaps Hugo can get it back on topic.

Pardon me if i don't see you point, Philosoft. I'll bow out and let you discuss the philosophy in this thread that i evidently missed.
