Obviously, some of us just enjoy the subject... :-)

For me it's simply a way of honing my own thoughts regarding this kind of thing. Besides, it's important to me. People naturally tend to want to discuss things that are important to them.

It's also fun hearing skeptics use exactly the same kind of articulate reasoning I used so confidently myself between the ages of say, 6 and 24 or something like that, when I believed in nothing spiritual (except ghosts...I saw a ghost once...of a CAT, no less!). I was sure puzzled about that incident, cos it did not fit my scientific view of things in the least. I sort of filed it away as "just one of those inexplicable things".
