flying spaghetti monster!!

[BacktoBasics]

Ghosts but not aliens. Interesting.

[I Love Me Some Me]

Didn't say no to aliens, just that I was uncertain.

[BacktoBasics]

You said

I don't think so

thats pretty much a no.

[xtremesteven33]

1. God(s) yes 1 God
2. magic (not from God or copperfield) Yes
3. ghosts No
4. aliens No
5. reincarnation No
6. government conspiracies i.e. 9/11, Illuminati, etc Yes
7. karma No

[I Love Me Some Me]

You said

I don't think so

thats pretty much a no.

No...I said "Uncertain, but I don't think so", which pretty much means I don't think so. If I wanted to say "no", I would have done so (much like I did with reincarnation).

So tell me why you find it interesting that I'd say yes to ghosts and "I don't think so" to aliens?

What does believing in magic mean? Do I believe that Penn & Teller can pull of crazy ? Or are you asking if I believed Jesus turned water into wine?

[ORION]

strange......what about magic does everyone believe. Like casting spells ?

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

1. God(s) - yes
2. magic (not from God or copperfield) - no
3. ghosts - yes
4. aliens - with the size of the universe there almost has to be something else out there, but I'm not completely convinced that they've dropped by Earth just yet.
5. reincarnation - no
6. government conspiracies i.e. 9/11, Illuminati, etc - not these specifically
7. karma - as a concept, but not a cosmic force

There is a lot more evidence to support other life than after life.

I'm not saying believe or disbelieve in either.

[Blake]

God=yes
ghosts=yes

so when people die, some actually get stuck here haunting a place instead of going to Heaven or ?

I dunno. there's a poster that roams around known as Bubba McBrewski that calls himself a Wiccan. Doesn't believe in a God per se as much as just a giant mystic force.

I guess just your general wizard warlock witch type stuff or any other that someone might want to expand on.

[JoeChalupa]

God is #1 baby!!!
I know a few lame magic tricks.
The others are interesting.

for the record I believe in God and a few government coverups.

I also don't believe there is intelligent life out there as advanced as us.

1. God- I believe Jesus is the one and only Savior of the World. "Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."- John 14:6

2. magic (not from God or copperfield)- If not from God or man- where would magic come from?
3. ghosts- I believe in angels and demons and that both can take on many different appearances. " Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it." -Hebrews 13:2 and " And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light."- 2 Corinthians 11:14

4. aliens- See above

5. reincarnation-no. " Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment," Hebrew 9:27

6. government conspiracies i.e. 9/11, Illuminati, etc- Yes, to an extent.


7. karma- I believe you reap what you sow. " Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows." - Galations 6:7

[to21]

Karma and God are almost neck and neck on my list.

I find it funny that Angel Luv bases almost all her posts on Bible quotes. Out of all the things available to substantiate Jesus and Christianity she chooses to quote the one item that was manipulated the most.

Someone post this in the God thread for me.

[tlongII]

I believe aliens exist, but I have no idea if they've visited earth yet or not. That's the only thing I'm certain of. I just hope I'm alive when we are visited or make contact in some fashion. That will really mess with a lot of fundamentalist views.

Given the context of your post, I am compelled to inquire: What is it that assures you of the unbiased authenticity of your sources?

I talk to the Author of my Faith on a daily basis. Your history books are heresay, in the sense that you have never spoken to the writers of it.

[clambake]

angel luv could have ended up in the ash of a certain waco compound.
