Has anyone seen or heard a ghost?

by AwfulTruth Fri Mar 30, 2012 10:00 pm

First topic message reminder :

I have - seen and heard several. Am I crazy? monkey

There is a theory that most people believe they have had some kind of encounter with the dead - or whatever these things are.

It is also postulated that the dark matter in the universe may hold the key to a further dimension which may explain the spirit world. Quantum physics certainly opens the door to this strange idea, if we explore what Einstein expounded.

If you have had an experience please tell us what it was, where and when, etc. Then I will mention my own brush with the supernatural.

Fair enough. Typing errors are where you know how to spell the words but hit the wrong keys. Spelling errors are where you do not know how to spell the word and make a guess or use a homophone.

Which of these was the case with "vice versa" (note correct spelling) in your post?

by polyglide Wed Nov 13, 2013 11:08 am

My typing unlike my appreciation of all things good is not too good.

I will just explain why I use polyglide.

It is a dance that can be enjoyed by all, young old and the disabled, they all join together and enjoy themselves, what a pity this is not applicable to all society.

by polyglide Fri Nov 15, 2013 11:26 am

I never mentioned any number, I was told there were thousands and I asked the person to name them.

Why should I consider any religion that is a thousand years old and none existant today?.

You obviously do not understand plain English, even when the spelling is correct.

by stuart torr Fri Nov 15, 2013 12:36 pm

No you were backing away from the argument by doing that,were you not so it is up to you to tell us exactly how many religions there are precisely.

by polyglide Mon Nov 18, 2013 1:40 pm

I asked you first.

You have not replied.

One question at a time.

You name the thousands you said existed and I will tell you where you have gone wrong.

List of religions and spiritual traditions

"This is an incomplete list, which may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness."

Now, let's stop clogging up the debate with nonsensical and stupid requests like naming thousands of religions, sects, cults, covens, secret societies, hate groups, anti-government militias, and various religious factions that exist throughout the world. No one is actually going to sit here and type out thousands of names even if they could remember them all. If you can't ask for reasonable standards of evidence, then don't ask for any at all. This tired tactic is extremely annoying and, as I've said before, intellectually dishonest.

Then learn to understand what is implied and not make stupid remarks.

If you understand a shoot out in general terms it can mean using any kind of weapon, the gladiators used everything but the kitchen sink.

Get a life.

You clearly implied that you'd studied many religions in depth before coming to the conclusion that Jesus was your homeboy.

Many? I thought the phrase he used was all relevant religions? I may be misremembering.

That implies 'many' doesn't it? Wink

Fair point, I seem to remember him bandying a figure around though, though he's denying it now of course.

by stuart torr Tue Nov 19, 2013 4:52 pm

I said a figure Sheldon and he asked me to name them all, which of course was impossible. So I threw the question back at him, and it has gone on from there until Shirina stepped in and told us to stop being silly. Laughing

Actually, no ... but that's irrelevant. What is relevant is your inability to understand humor.

That's one thing I loathe about religion and those who believe in it. No sense of humor.

At all.

None.

Zero.

Religion has to be somber and serious and straight-faced all the time. Quite often the people who believe in them behave in the same way.

by stuart torr Tue Nov 19, 2013 5:41 pm

Very true Shirina. Laughing

by polyglide Wed Nov 20, 2013 11:06 am

Shirina, how very, very, wrong you are, I laugh my head off at most of the idiotic replies I get.

by polyglide Wed Nov 20, 2013 11:08 am

However, humour has a place in everyones life, the relevance being the time and the place.

by Dan Fante Wed Nov 20, 2013 11:13 am

I don't recall your response when I asked you what you thought God had in mind when he came up with the symbiotic realtionship between Ophiocordyceps unilateralis and ants like Camponotus leonardi and what sort of God would design things like this.

I'm sure that the religious nuts in renaissance Italy said something similar to Galileo just before he was put under house arrest for daring to claim the earth revolved around the sun.

How well did that end up working out for Christians?

All the evidence points to a damaged brain, nobody can be this thick in the developed world.

by stuart torr Thu Nov 21, 2013 7:06 pm

Tosh I only have half a brain that actually works correctly, with a black shadow on it at some point , and also at the base of it I have a black spot, that they don't know what is. My neurologist wishes me to go to kings college in london for an operation, but the chances are only 30% in my favour so i've turned them down until my chances improve.

At least you're using the part that works stu, look at Spin, or polyglide. How's the no smoking going?

by stuart torr Fri Nov 22, 2013 10:33 am

Hi Sheldon, at least I try with my brain mate, Laughing

my no smoking is at the moment failing Sheldon i'm afraid. I awoke in tears monday night and did not sleep at all, due to my dreaming of my not being able to take my daughter out for days out but mum and step-dad can. niether does she stay over at my place etc,and it just got on top of me.

by Dan Fante Fri Nov 22, 2013 11:41 am

Stu, sorry to hear about that. I would say that giving up the tabs isn't easy but just because you've started again it doesn't mean you can never give them up. Give it another go, mate.

by stuart torr Fri Nov 22, 2013 1:24 pm

It's my daughter that is killing me Dan, why should her step-dad have all the fun while i'm stuck here.

by Dan Fante Fri Nov 22, 2013 1:58 pm

I know that, mate. I just meant that falling off the wagon, so to speak, doesn't mean you'll never give them up. Not that I'm exactly free of vices but I just think it's daft habit. I used to smoke myself and my partner did and I'm delighted we don't any more. Anyway, sorry if that comes across as preaching.

by stuart torr Fri Nov 22, 2013 3:41 pm

No vicar Dan, Laughing

it doesn't, wish I had someone like a partner,so we could nag each other if we lit up etc. Rolling Eyes

It would be a big help all round.

Each time you think like that imagine the face of your daughter scolding you because she loves you more than you love her.

Hard, yes. Not easy words but they might help you a hell of a lot. On the other hand I don't want to upset you.....
