@Gae Bolga I apologize if it came across as an argument from incredulity, it wasn't my intent. We all look for the best reasons for our belief, that's how people (even scientist and materialists) work. We look for the most consistent explanation, which may or may not be the simplest according to Occam's razor. Usually that's science, but not always. I have not had observable experiences with visual apparitions. I have spoken with people I trust that share of their experiences with visual apparitions. None have reported apparitions speaking, hearing, touching (in the normal sense) them physically. I would assume, from what I understand of ghosts and apparitions that they do not have sensory experiences based on the standard sensory perceptions "alive" people have. I would rate them as alive though as in able to learn/think.
You haven't answer my question as to why on why features of X or other x would be mutually exclusive.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
