I hate being overly sensitive because negative emotions, moods, etc around me set me off big time. I've basically been trying to find a way to block all that, but have yet to succeed. I'm generally not a negative person, but feel like I occasionally become negative in public situations.
Our LOUD conversation you say? In my experience it is Indians that have the loudest conversations, particularly when in large groups. And typically they don't seem to care who's around at the time or who they are disturbing.
On the whole I agree with the article. The queue thing is especially...
I don't believe God can ever leave us since I believe that everything is God or that we are a part of God. I would be skeptical of earthly spirits dolling out advice. I was under the impression that EVPs are emanations from earth bound spirits and it would stand to reason that their...
I've always tried not to listen to that superstition, especially since 3 is actually what I consider my lucky number. I used to be OCD and had to do things in 3's and the number 3 crops up everywhere. It's supposedly some universal number. That and time is relative, even though I still have the...
No worries, the voice thing happens to me sometimes. I'l either hear incoherent whispering or someone saying my name and there won't be a single person home.
Again, you're going back to earlier arguments. Sure God and the Universe are synonymous, but once you make that definition you have to follow through on it. Pantheism is only Atheistic from a strict Judeo Christian perspective, but it is not Atheistic.
This also goes back to arguments regarding...
You're going to have to provide a reference on that one. The word God is in the definition of Pantheism, which is pretty much universally accepted. How you define God is what differentiates a classical vs a naturalistic Pantheist.
That sounds like supernatural to me. Also I've argued that...
This idea that druids worshipped evil spirits and performed human sacrifice is pretty absurd and I've yet to see a shred of proof to support it. Many Christian ideologies persist in the belief that prior to Christianity societies were stone age, devil worshipping, backwater societies, which...
In other words I think OP had his/her answer all along but appears to be lacking the strength to make the jump. OP, developing intuition is a huge part of many alternative self help type books. Many of these authors simply say by writing down these intuitions you can develop your natural abilities.
It is a contradiction, but people try to use the "how do you define God" defense. But it still doesn't matter, because no matter how you define God, the two will still contradict each other. So then they get around this by changing the definition of God in each separate case, which is complete...
That was never my initial objection. My objection stems from the fact that people were saying, "I'm an atheist because I believe in a non traditional God." But in reality they were anything but atheist based upon the word's definition and that their clinging to this word was solely done to...
No, that's what you are incorrectly inferring. I am saying that some people have a tendency to seek out depression even though they have nothing to be depressed about. Many of these personality types lack any real perspective or simply refuse to accept personal experiences that lends...
I think part of this depression addiction is societal. I've seen it with many of my girlfriend's friends who come from well to do families, have a very comfortable living and yet somehow always have something to be depressed about. I think 90% of this is them simply looking for something to be...
Agreed on that and I was even the Devil's advocate throughout the entire thread. She was definitely an idiot and nothing would have happened if she had kept her big clapper shut. However, she was toeing a very fine line, more or less defying the mandates of the school's counseling guidelines...
