I asked the question about the closed minded and the paranormal and one of the answers brought me to another question. Why can people believe blindly in religion but not the paranormal?

Religion has its spirits, since the bible talks of spirits what makes you think they can't exist today?

One of Merriam Websters definitions of spirit is: "a supernatural being or essence: as a capitalized : HOLY SPIRIT b : SOUL 2a c : an often malevolent being that is bodiless but can become visible; specifically : GHOST 2 d : a malevolent being that enters and possesses a human being."

A lot of skeptics use religion as a reason not to believe in "ghosts" or "spirits" but they hear about them every Sunday.

I will qualify this question with a few comments of my own. I am not asking anyone to blindly believe anything nor do I tend to believe anything I hear and only half of what I see but I do find it interesting that those who won't believe in paranormal spirits believe in religious spirits

I don't think either is a good idea.
