I tend to believe only in what I can see or can be explained.

I see no harm in wearing good luck charms.

Personally, I'm drawn to the psychic approach when details are so specific as to rule out coincidence.

Discussing spiritual occurrences and supernatural phenomena is foolish and absurd.

I believe the only supernatural force in the universe is that of a loving God.

There is a natural order to everything and all phenomena can be explained naturally.

Every human being is a member of the cosmos and 'God' is the cosmic mind.

People are basically good.

Voodoo deaths are most probably due to mind control.

I see nothing harmful in transcendental meditation or the practice of Yoga.

Some events can only be explained supernaturally and are thus unexplainable through logic or science.

All so called 'miracles' are either myths or can be explained scientifically.

The notion of an everlasting hell is a repugnant religious doctrine and completely unacceptable.

We live in an objective world in which what we see is generally the way things really are.

There are many gods and spirits of which some are good and some are evil.

People are generally honest and in most cases should be trusted.

In some instances, it is possible to communicate with people after death.

There is a universal conspiracy to control and enslave people.

The existing supernatural force is only energy or force, not a thinking or feeling being with a personality.

Miracles, such as instant healing and the raising of the dead, may have actually occurred at some point in history, but are certainly not happening today.

Strange occurrences, such as hauntings and ghosts, may be attributed to the restless spirits of people who have died.

The only supernatural force of any consequence in the universe is evil.

Following an individual's death, their spirit may inhabit the body of another living person.

I see no harm in periodically reading one's horoscope.

Any mysterious or unexplained powers exhibited by people today will in time be explained scientifically in terms of human potential or talent.

Supernatural forces or spirits can be controlled and used to one's own advantage if one is clever.

Explanations for the supernatural must lie outside of human potential or ability.

There is both a spiritual as well as a natural side to reality.

The supernatural spirit or force is a being with a personality and a close intimate or personal relationship is possible.

It is foolish to believe there is no God.

Humility and meekness, for the most part, are human characteristics of individual weakness.

I enjoy tales of the supernatural, horror and the macabre.

Halloween is a very important time of the year.
