Does it not bother you that a gigantic amount of people on this planet believe they've seen something or experienced something that absolutely, under no circumstances, can be replicated?

Well, I don't believe in God, or any form of religion, and a lot of people believe in something they've never seen or heard. It bothers me to some extent, but I think that there's not many ways out of it, as most people will share their parents' beliefs, IMO.
It's kind of the same thing. Some people have told me they've seen ghosts, and I don't know quite what to reply. I haven't experienced it, and I don't want to call them a liar. It's just a case of someone "knowing" that X is true, while others "knowing" that Y is true. Arguing over it seems a bit futile.
Now I do have a problem with people getting suckered out of their money because of these things by psychics and other things, but it's their life, after all.
