Totally agree with you Lynne.

Once upon a time, it was down to us parents to teach morality to our children. That seems, judging by some of today's youth, not to be the case anymore.

However, out of interest (and because I have nothing better to do at this moment in time), I decided to put Delphi to the test. I must say, I am quite happy with the response:

I researched that question. Ghost-hunting is not forbidden by any of the world's major religions and most of their sects; Christian, Jewish, Islam. I have not looked into Buddhism, Hinduism or Shinto.

I think that all we need to do is ask ourselves this question: Whatever action I am about to take, would I like it if that action was taken against me? ( Or about me, etc.)

Good question
