Well this is one of my more favorite subjects too. To be right to the point yes i do believe the spirit exists. One argument for the existance of such a thing is just to look at the history of religion every religion with the exception of agnostisism hase some concept of a greater essence residing with in you. But then if your not religious this argument might not do much for you, but ask this does it really make much of a difference in your life weather you believe in a spirit regardless of what religion if any you believe in? The whole concept is around to provide comfort to what happens to you after you die because many people don't like the idea of it just ending and thats it thats all she wrote. Also just as thought if eventually you do deside to look into a religion look into all of them and deside which religion you like best and which best fits your charecter you might find a little known religion that fits you to the preverbial T. Hope i don't sound to patranizing or zelous that isn't what i'm trying to do, or be. I'm not even trying to convinse you that you should even have religion in your life i'm still asking myself that question. Just spend some time and read and critically annalize all point of view and think of what you want from life. Most importantly all say it again be yourself don't try to conform to a religion that doesn't suit your outlook or view of thing you will only frustrated and demoralized.
