I never said about that before, but...

*checks Major Religions Groups on wiki*

oh my...


I don't consider religions as religions. Now I call them all sects.

What difference between Christianity and sect organized by some crazy man from city courtyard in near city?
srsl, I can't see difference.

and what did our "holy" religions bring to us?
Only thousands holy wars through planet. Each year. Since birth of humanity.

One cave man started to believe that there's some power he can't manipulate, but IT manipulates him, and all of his kind. What does he do? Makes idol, and he, with his family, with their cohabitants, big group of people starts to worship newborn God.
At the same time, in different cave, another group of people worships another God.
And what happens when two group of people meet each other?.. Only death.

And this list of death grows each day. For now and onwards.

Also: Apistevism – the ideology that only things that can be proven should be accepted as fact or, to put it in another way, believing things by faith is wrong.

We cannot prove anything, everything we believe is due to faith.

I must have faith that everything around me is not a construct of the Matrix!

I didn't Vote.
Its one of those situation where.."I think there things we can't see that are there, but...until I see one, I'm Neutral."

Can't vote.
Sorry.

I almost saw a small creature once that was in the house. It was not taller than a foot rest for a chair that about a foot and a half tall. It hid behind it cause I think I saw it duck behind it when I look in that direction.

It was either a leprechaun, or a Fairy. (The kind you find in the Spiderwick Chronicle.)

I'm not sure whether you're surprised or sceptical, Kakama, heheh. :mrgreen:

I like your approaches, Anonymous and Paranormal. I reckon we should keep an open mind on these things, whether we believe in them or not: it makes good reading material, to many ends.

I like the sound of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertainty_principle

In any case guys, I think we're moving a slight bit off from the original purpose of this thread. We're meant to be looking at the possible existence of paranormal things, rather than the lack of such...unless the original purpose of this thread was to instigate a small-scale debate on faith? Please, let's keep it light.

Well, this did actually happen. I didn't see it myself, but my dad did and he is not one to fall into superstition. Plus, this is one of those things that makes zero sense.

So my dad lives in South Bend just off Portage road. And his neighbor, who is from Venezuela was clearing and cleaning up his yard. And behind his garage is this small space for a garden like area. And he freaks out when he finds something. He gets my dad too look at what he found.

My Dad said their was only one creature that could leave a fetus that big. A Human, there was a three month Human Fetus in our Neighbor garden. There was no reason what so ever for someone to dump a Human fetus in the neighbor back yard.

My Dad said the fetus was in rather good shape since he could see the eye's were just forming on the side of its head like a fish. And it wasn't from an abortion, the way they abortion remove them is by a vacuum to remove the fetus. This was was in complete shape.


The Neighbor, wondering if they should call the police, (Which my dad Said they shouldn't, there was nothing they could do.) The neighbor thought they could check the DNA, but the city of South Bend is not big enough to have its own crime lab, and they would have to send it out to another city, which cost money.

So they threw it away, and took the trash bag out to the Trash can.


Here the thing, there are no hospital within a 20 to 30 block radius from where we are at, so...that one I can file under "Unexplained".

That isn't really necessarily hard to explain or anything, since a human fetus isn't a paranormal phenomenon or anything. I mean, it is fucked up and all, but not physically impossible or anything.
