    That doesn’t follow. “Harm” doesn’t necessarily mean “kill”, and even people who believe in that sort of thing don’t claim that all or even most ghosts are malevolent.

    Caucasian

    Don’t discriminate. Everyone sucks.

    Edit: Gandhi beat his wife and wouldn’t let her get treatment when she was sick which ultimately killed her. Mother Teresa withheld food from children until they converted to her religion or died. Everyone sucks.

      Every piece of land has been taken and retaken over and over. The only limit to our knowledge of such is how far back we have historical records of an area. Humans going back through all times and societies sucked ass.

        It always makes me chuckle when people try to blame capitalism for it.

        Humans have been hoarding wealth and killing each other for no reason for pretty much all of history. This isn’t anything new. We’ve always been greedy selfish animals.

    Ghosts can harm people, but they also see and can access all of time and all universes at any given moment. Dying is like losing your bookmark in a near-infinite book; it’s hard to get back to your place.

    Paired with that, things we consider to be horrible atrocities of our time or past are blips compared to unfathomable things that have yet to come.

    Ghosts do kill people all the time in other dimensions, and sometimes in ours, but it’s always ruled as something like a stroke or aneurism or whatever.

    I don’t believe any of this but like to think of excuses as thought experiments and have been talking out of my ass.

    Nice edit about ghosts

    makes everyone’s comments about Caucasians being bad people or everyone bad people (what?)
