On topic: Uuuuurm... Trees were dancing when it's a windy day?
I used to think that my parents went into the store to buy money to buy groceries with when the otehr stayed with me.
Really? I tried it and it's not working. What accent do you have? Or, what dialect do you have? Cheegulliblese! See - it's just not working.poncho14 said:
Now, tell me how to do it or I'm reporting for lies.
If not , you just got served a hot plate of gulliable.
When I was little I believed that old chestnut that if you made a face and the wind changed, you'd stay like that. Brief experimentation soon debunked the myth, but I have to admit that I was initially reluctant to initiate the experiments! =P
You've fell into the trap there. It's a test to see who's gullible, it's like saying 'twatssaywhat' really fast and then laughing when someone says 'what?'. Sorry, but you just got pwned. Sort of.Gilbert Munch said:
Anyway, I can't really say I've ever believed anything really weird. I'm superstitious, always have been, and I believe in the paranormal to some extent, although in that case I have evidence having seen various spiritualists in the past and also from hearing that my mom (who ironically doesn't believe in fortune telling) had her fortune read by an old friend of my grandmother, and everything except one prediction came true. That other was that she'd have a daughter, which hasn't happened yet, though there's still time I guess...
But yeah, can't really say I've ever believed in anything 'weird', as such.
Atheism.
I realized the rather un-scientific standpoint of claiming that the existence of gods or at least "godlike beings" to be flat out impossible.
We can't know that for sure. We're only human and we can only percieve three dimensions in real time, but we know that more than three dimensions exist (time being one of them, even if we can't percieve time directly, we can sure as hell see it's after effects).
Who's to say that it is impossible for godlike beings to dwell within (or outside, depengin on how you look at it) these additional dimensions beyond the mere three that we can experience for ourselves? Is there any proof supporting such claims?
Of course, that's no argument for starting to believe the bullshit in the bible or the quoran, that some invisible man is living in the sky and that he's watching our every move for every second of our lives, or that he's got this list with things we ABSOLUTELY can NOT do, and if we break any of these things on the list he's gonna put us in his special place for such rulebreakers where there's fire, brimstone and demons sticking our asses with pitch-forks for all eternity... But he still loves us. :/ (spot the reference if you can!)
But from that I have learned the virtues of sceptic agnosticism. The only real scientific standpoint when it comes to theories concerning the existence of gods or godlike beings. Im not gonna believe any such existence until I see solid proof for it, but im not going to refuse the possibility either, since I know my human limitations in only being able to percieve three dimensions at a time.

I'm aware, and I hope the jokey side of my post wouldn't go unnoticed. After all, I wouldn't report him for lying.Trivun said:

Wow despite the OP it still only took 2 posts for someone to mention religion, and then an essay on that matter...
Anyways I used to believe that there were tiny versions of myself running my body after an analogy like that on some child's biology video.

Wow! I have moments like that as well. Does that make me sane or does that make you a Housebroken Lunatic as well? : /Avykins said:
This is more an example of simple childish ignorance than any kind of firm "belief" I had, but I never realised there was more than one language - I grew up speaking English and everyone I knew only ever spoke English (even kids I went to school with whose parents had immigrated and spoke other languages at home). It never occurred to me that words not in English could actually have a meaning - even after I started high school and learned a little Japanese and French, the song "Macarena" was released and I thought it was just a bunch of meaningless gibberish.
