Holy actually means healthy; and, the Greek pnuema is used for both 'ghost' and 'spirit', but, actually means breathe or breathing. And, the Christian 'idea' of heaven and hell is a catch-22 according to the literal translation. How many here have seen a ghost; and, of those who have, how many have seen a young girl, or half a young girl? All those stories with all the symbolic imagery; do you think that maybe someone was smoking something, or eating mushrooms or plants of some psychedelic sort?

I think the Outlaws did the best version of this oft-covered classic.
