Supernatural and Paranormal experiences

Let me guess half of them are halucinations?

Thats fine if people are skeptical, but why can't they keep it to themselves?

How pathetically sad and dull the world would it be if everything could be scientifically explained.

^ So the world is dull

Universe

I predict a lot of stuff happening in films and tv shows, nothing unnatural, there's lots of easy patterns there but my NT friends get real freaked out by it. whenever we watch CSI they make bets on whether or not the person I point out as the killer is gonna turn out to be the actual bad guy and right now the odds for their bets are like 1:1,0005 LOL

I told them there's pretty much 5-6 patterns that almost always work but they didn't want to know them as it would "spoil the suprise". NTs are a weird bunch...

Captain my Captain!

actually it can still be cool-people know how thunderstorms, hurricanes, etc form, pressure systems and fronts, and how clouds form but that doesn't make it any less cool

Same for information on Stars and the like

Well, why should we? I mean, if you had a belief that wasn't true, wouldn't you want to know about it?

I can see telling people to shut up if they are going to make fun of you or call you stupid or crazy, though. That never helped anybody.

Re. Asexual/Christian combination: Yes. I am lucky in the same way that someone who is not violent would not be tempted to kill somebody. But there are an awful lot of sins that aren't sexual--the vast majority of sins aren't sexual, actually--so really, it doesn't seem to make a lot of difference in how successful I am at doing the right thing. I may not want to have sex, but that just seems to mean that I have more time to do other things, along with their respective pitfalls and temptations. I have always had a bit of a problem with thinking I am better than other people, for example... I just hope that if I ever lose to that and become horribly prejudiced, I'll get run over by a car or something.

I'm sorry I wasn't trying to mean about it... we all have our own beliefs and none of it is right or wrong.. but I am talking about the ones that downright tell us what we experience is all in our heads and mock us for our beliefs. Now THAT is something that should be kept to themselves. Even if I don't agree with someone else's belief I wouldn't mock them about it or say anything negative, I would expect the same from others. Especially around here.

I really don't like sceptics. I find them narrow minded and boring, and could never date one. They have to poo poo everything odd, sure, a lot of it might not be real, and explainable, but that's no reason to have a completely closed mind.

I believe in fate, as how would evil spirits know what is going to happen before it happens? A marked path. Fate depends on what you decide to do with your life.

Owww you've broken my heart

And WHO ever mentioned the possibility of a skeptic dating you? You make it sound like if we atheist/skeptic boring narrow-minded males here are begging for your "dating approval". Personally,it's my last concern if I can pass your "dating approval" test or not. For me ,you are just a user's nickname on a forum.

And what's make you think that an atheist or a skeptic would even wants to date a superstition believer? But you just had to mention the dating stuff randomly for some reasons , what if the skeptic narrow minded and boring LePetitPrince and 0_equals_true were female skeptic atheists? would you even randomnly mention one of your dating standards here then? Ha, I don't think so

This is not the love forum btw.

Btw, i find science very non-dull and exciting ...it depends on how much you are into science and how much you are into 'supernatural'.

Actually you raised and interesting point about 'open mindedness'. I wouldn't say I especially pitch myself as a sceptic, but I much more rational analytical person.

So if you just want somebody that shares you experiences as you see them, (as much to satisfy your believe that they do) than all power to you.

If on the other hand you believe someone is not being open minded because they don't adhere to a particular 'alternative' lifestyle, then you might have to question who is not being open minded. Whether or not the lifestyle considered alternative or mainstream is is irrelevant.

There is a difference between being a skeptic and having a closed mind. An open minded skeptic is always willing to learn and experiment but a closed minded skeptic usually never even considers the evidence.

He probably meant closed minded skeptics. For instance lets take my mother in law. She is definitely a close minded skeptic (now before I get into anything... I only tolerate open minded people, skeptical or not!.. she is FAR from open minded and maybe I am a wee bit biased because I cannot stand the woman but that another story all together). Sadly last Monday we had to put our dog down. My kids really didn't understand the concept of what had really happened at the time but now have an idea since the dog is not here anymore. My 4 year old son that happens to also be under the spectrum has never said the dog's name unless he saw the dog. Out of no where last Tuesday night he was playing with his cars and looked up towards the kitchen door (where the dog would go out to do his business) and excitedly called out his name. Then he went back to playing with his cars. Okay weird enough... we didn't know what to really think of that.. but when my husband told my mother in law this, this was her response "don't be silly to believe that the child saw the dog's spirit. There is no such thing. He probably said the dog's name out of habit. I can't believe you actually believe that the child saw the dog after it passed on". Well okay, firstly... its not a habit because he doesn't go around saying the dog's name unless he SEES the dog. My son has some bad habits but saying the dog's name out of no where is not one of his habits. And thats fine to be skeptical.. I mean sure, its possible that when my son looked at the kitchen door he thought of the dog and said his name as a result. I am also not really sure what to believe. But its one thing to be skeptical and be willing to listen to what other people's beliefs are and not judging them.. but its another to be just as narrow minded as my mother in law! THOSE people get to me, not skeptics in general.
