Just as an example (not saying you have this):
Hypnagogic Hallucination:
These hallucinations occur just before falling asleep and affect a surprising number of people in the population. The hallucinations can last from seconds to minutes, a ...[text shortened]... (From Wikipedia, sourced from http://brain.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/121/10/1819)
One of my former colleagues actually wrote a graduate thesis on the role of sleep apnea in the experiences of those who claim to have been abducted by extraterrestrials or to have been visited by angels/demons.
While sleeping, you stop breathing temporarily, and the oxygen deprivation leads to perceptual weirdness.

Originally posted by EcstremeVenom it makes no difference to me whether it was a hallucination or not, i could care less whether ghosts exist
So your saying you think you might believe in something supernatural, because you've had experiences that may be hallucinations or may be real. But you don't actually care which it is, as far as your concerned, God can exist if he wants to but he better leave you alone?

Is that like saying I see a car getting ready to hit me at 60 miles
an hour, it may be real or not, but I don't care enough to worry about
what getting hit by it will do to me?

My interest was perked with him agreeing with this statement,
"But you don't actually care which it is, as far as your concerned, God can exist if he wants to but he better leave you alone?"
That seemed to me a little on the playing with fire not caring if it would
or could burn you and everything around you.

Originally posted by EcstremeVenom you have to ask for forgiveness, which i do, but that doesn't mean i know he exists or that it matters if he exists
Why ask if He does not exist? If He does exist is just asking enough?
How do you know such things? It seems like you are just attempting to
hedge your bets, trying to do just enough, just incase.
