Not sure if sarcasm or not...

No sarcasm at all. I have to believe in ghosts, not that I didn't already believe Bill Murray is an oppressor of the undead.

He essentially sends the spirits of the dead to mandatory detention inside a vacuum cleaner box as his profession.

He is to dead people what my country's asylum seeker policy is to refugees.

Well, okay. It just sort of sounded strange to me. "Oh, ghosts exist in that stuff that I believe in? Well, now I believe in them too, I guess." xD

I just think it's interesting that because the sacred text in question is less than 100 pages long, it's easier to remember specific things that jump out at you.

Lao Tzu's Tao is airtight, it's vague as hell as to how the universe was created, and at no point states that it was made in any specific point in time.

Out of all the religious texts I've encountered, it holds up to the most scientific scrutiny due to being vague as hell.

It also has the distinction of being vaguely "Women will get the better of the men who think they rule over them" as far as religious representation of women goes. It tends to condemn the people you see on A&E's Hoarders more than gay people as well. Really hammers home the anti-materialist message there.
