tunaplanet 0 #78 February 3, 2004 I think the best question is, "Who cares what others believe in?" Why would you care or WANT to know if someone believes in God, Buddah, Satan, Pagans, etc...? Maybe I'm just old fashioned, but what religeon a stranger believes in is completely fucking meaningless. Same goes for political views. No one cares what you or me believe in.

Seems what you are saying is that we all allow each other to worship, believe or not believe - and still respect each other despite those differences. Also seems that would cut a lot of tension between folks of different beliefs if they knew they could express those beliefs and not be persecuted for feeling that way.

NoShitThereIWas 0 #97 February 3, 2004 "I don't believe in -isms, I just believe in me." I believe in universal balance and that the key lies in Energy and the Laws of Energy Conservation. Whatever level a person takes that to with the Scientific Law that Energy is neither created nor destroyed, only transformed and the Expanding Universe Theory says that we are just continuing to expand ... so is energy just drifting in time as the universe expands infinitely or will the universe contract making it a finite system which will bring all of the energy back closer together? Or does the energy of the universe just recycle itself fully and in it's most efficient state? Dang who the hell knows ... As Bill from Bill and Ted once said, "All we are is dust in the wind, dude." My choice wasn't listed in the poll. I am open-minded about an afterlife/spirit/ghosts/whatever energy ... is there such a thing? That lady Sylvia Brown sure seems to think so. Granted there are a lot of quacks out there but have you ever seen Silvia Brown in action??? She has even allegedly solved many murder crimes based on her psychic abilities. She allegedly talks to people and can see and communicate with them on "the other side". Psychics sometimes talk about crossing over and how some people don't/haven't. I wonder if that is true, how do those souls manage to not cross over and where/when are they? I happen to be a little more cynical and scientific though. I can't recall ever seeing or experiencing a whole lot of supernatural stuff. The only super weird stuff I can remember happening to me in my life is a couple of wierd feelings of out of body experiences which I think was caused from being in a super relaxed state because I did some research on that and I am pretty sure I saw a UFO once in Ottawa, Illinois. And no I was not drunk or on any drugs. I saw some very vivid lights in the sky coming from behind some clouds and I can't imagine what else it could have been ... it was just like out of a movie because of course I was totally alone, driving toward the Skydive Chicago DZ at night and I saw the very bright lights coming from behind the clouds. I was trying to figure out what the heck it was thinking it had to have been lightning, (what else could it have been?) but I know it wasn't. The really freaky thing about it was the next day I happened to overhear the news on TV. There were some very huge "Signs" in the corn fields located adjacent to the lights and they were HUGE patterns that no one could have created without a lot of manpower, time and effort. The news station reported it like it was nothing out of the ordinary ... just a couple of many acred crop designs that appeared overnight ... People were out touring them with their families the next day. So yes, I have experienced a couple of weird things in my lifetime but they may have been few and far between although I have known people to share their supernatural stories which are quite convincing and been to some places on this planet which are considered highly "spiritual". They still tell ghost stories about spirits in many places from sightings where many lives have been lost like Gettysburg. So whether my experiences and/or other's are real or coincidence, who knows? I do believe that there is a lot we still don't know or understand about Energy or it's wide range of characteristics.Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires."
