    @Aikanaro:
    Interesting link. I seem to have skipped a few steps, though. :lol:

    @Cuchulainn:
    1. Can't argue with that. :heh:
    2. Anything's possible when belief comes into play.
    3. You don't think they watch it for the plot, do you? :D

    [​IMG] Cúchulainn, it depends on whether you get a fluffy or not :p

    Some Wiccans (and Pagans in general sometimes) prefer to use the names of a pantheon from history to represent their own gods. It is usually the idea of all gods being a facet of the jewel.

    I personally don't see the point of taking names of gods from other religions and placing it for your own though :rolleyes:

    Hmmm? Magic? All I can say is that I *would* like to believe in real life magic. I wish it were real, but it isn't.

    If it were, you'd see a lot more fireballs shooting forth from people's fingertips.

    *NOTE: Spontaneous combustion does NOT count! :p *

    I just find it odd that people are asking Felinoid for proof of his telekinesis. I wasn't trying to argue or anything, it merely seems weird to have doubt about that and not about other things which are equally unproveable and untangible.

    Like what? In my experience, SP people are always quick to be sceptical of anything like that. Anyway, Felinoid's information would be really easy to prove if we could be there to see it.

    @ Kuemper

    I'm curious to hear more details about your death/near-death/other side experience.

    :lol: :lol: :hahaerr: Wait, you're serious, aren't you? Well, the duh answer is religion, and I'm sure other things apply as well to each individual. As for it being easy to prove, perhaps I should expand upon my earlier comment:
    It doesn't really matter how well I can prove it. People who don't want to believe simply won't, even if it were to become a science. If you need any proof of that, you need only to look at such highly charged issues as evolution and its ilk.

    but even that wouldnt convince a human being, or do you believe that paul daniels and so many other 'magicians' really do magic before your eyes?

    the only real way to convince someone is if they could do it themselves.
