supernatural events can be seen as many things. they can, in fact, be supernatural. they could be weather related (UFO's and shit), they could be the mind playing tricks on you.
i have never seen a ghost, but i am in no position to say that they do not exist.
religion is DOCUMENTED by humans.

Miracles and healing happen all the time by different faiths and even people of different beliefs........Its been document on TV many times.........There are just things we don't quite understand yet they do happen....It's not a god per say that is doing it, but I believe it is the collective power of our selves being part of the creative process.......It does happen..........Studding some quantum string and other theories I have seen how this is possible.

but if someone imagines seeing a ghost, in their mind it is real. if someone imagines they are possessed, they will act possessed.

In what sense has religion been "documented" by humans?

I suppose the discovery and Science Channel with all their equipment were imagining 🙄

Its called television. Peoplue used to think that science labs looked like things from Frankenstein.

No, its ok, and I figure I was asking only for the sake of asking rather then some deep hunger to know the answer.

Not from what I have seen on the science channel and have read.........There are unexplainable things that we just cannot say is NOT Real when it is documented by scientists and doctors.......Maybe you are not looking at ALL the materials out there ...........btw, I'm not talking about god or religion.....

Humor me... other then lots of pages relating to circumcision in a religious sense how does this documentation somehow "prove" religion?

Well there is the chance there are perfectly acceptable, non-supernatural reasons behind all such things, and we simply aren't advanced enought yo understand them.

After all, remember it was possible for some guys with a bit of armor and some guns to convince people they were gods - and a lot of early religion was that. Attributing the supernatural to things a person/culture wasn't sufficiently advanced to understand.

it proves nothing. it does, however, give its followers some sort of history.
either you believe it or you dont.

IMO How can religion be a true thing? It is only a belief in stories...Religions are ONLY STORIES.

So religion being documented is simply the fact people have believed in it over the years and written about it as they have believed? Ghosts then have also been documented. People believe in them, write books filled with grainy/blurry pictures about them. That's documenting as well.
