I'm glad I got some fans.  I figure that my posts drive more people away then bring in.  They are horribly long >.<

Where did Plinko go?  I'm itching to keep going here.

I once stood about four feet distances from a magician who towards the end of his presentation suspended his assistance in mid-air. That was not a trick of magic and as an observer I noticed that he had whispered something to the ears of his assistence just prior to levatating her. Since my field had been psychology I assumed that he had pre-hipnotized her and the words that he whispered were those that will had illiminated her waight and thus making her weight less than a feather. Seeing is not believing cause there is always an explanation, you just have to digged deeper. There are no super-natural forces but I know that there are other existences which are far more advance than we are and who is to say how are they interferring in our everyday life whenever one of them feels like it. This can be both for good or bad. The problem that people have is that they will attributed so called super-natural experiences to their biliefs system or to what they had been tauch and expect it to come from God. It also makes them feel " SPECIAL " when communicating to others that GOD had touched them and had selected him/her out of so many billions of people. They are only deceiving themselves cause of their ignorance about life and existence.

Wait...what?  You can't hypnotize people into being thin and even if you could they wouldn't float.

So... because you "know" psychology you think that gravity just doesn't apply anymore ... I really don't know how to argue against something that absurd ... and I argue against an invisible sky monster who will torture you forever and ever because you don't hate gays like him but loves everyone who used dirt to make man, refuses to do anything ever again, but does miracles all the time.  You have crossed a new line of crazy.  Sorry but gravity just magically disappearing takes the cake.  By the way the technical term for magician is Illusionist ... connect a few dots please.

I'm about to be immature.  Get ready.

I was in the forest one day and I came upon this little blue bird.  And I said to the blue bird "get out of my way, bird".  And the little blue bird flew away.  A few moments later, the little bird brought back his friends (birds, raccoons, and other similar forest critters).  It was then that I knew that I was in trouble.

Quote from: "pinkocommie"I know a woman who honestly believes she gets spanked by ghosts while she sleeps.  I don't believe her, I have no reason to believe her, but I think everyone knows someone who has a supernatural story to tell.

Where can I get one of these ghosts?  If you don't know, can I meet your friend?

Quote from: "i_am_i"Oh brother. "His seen jesus 3 times." Now what the hell is that supposed to mean?

I saw Jesus tonight. He told me to tell you to LEARN HOW TO WRITE.

It's pronounced 'hay-soos', and I saw him too.  He was trimming my hedges.

And why is this thread in science, anyhow?

End rant.

Thanks, you may continue now.

The problem with some people is that when a true is expressed they have a big problem in digestin it. I don't study psychol;ogy anymore as I don't particular care for any sort of so called education but I do know a great deal about amny things that people in this forum will never even imagine. There are tricks and there is magic and there no tricks and there is no magic. If one can tell the different between what is and what is not, one is in a more open mind to view, critized and anilyze withough any interferences from any sorts of beliefs -- atheist and theist or any other. Its unfortunate that some of you don't exposed yourself to knowing something about that something in order to give a better opinion. Illusions can come in many forms which is also a part of magic and tricks. If you don't trust your self or your senses or can be easily fool, well thats you.................................................................

If you aren't being serious you need to say so now because you are about 1 step away from me considering you a troll.
