I'm not in search of a god to worship, or religion to be in. I'm free from those shackles. Now, I just like to dabble in the occult, and esotericism. I also like to deeply question reality. Yes, I love science too. I like to be on the fence between science, and the supernatural.
The laws of physics, biology... blah blah blah. I really wish we'd stop arguing about the definition, because it won't really go anywhere. You know what I mean when I say supernatural.
Lets have a fun conversation.
What is a hallucination?
Oh, please. You know what I mean when I say supernatural. The extraordinary. Things that defy the laws of nature. Paranormal. Weird shit. You guys are complicating things for unknown reasons.
Do you think that the current reality we experience as humans is true reality?
And that's what I'm advocating. For people to sit on the fence, instead of leaning hard-science, or hard-supernatural.
Yes.
I don't see where I told him that he's wrong. I just told him why you won't really hear about supernatural stuff. We're having a conversation. I don't know what you want me to do.
Exactly. Thank you. Most people in the comments are just trying to sort of erase the word. But if I can't call the phenomena supernatural, what do I call it? It most certainly needs a name.
But what do we call the phenomena then, if I can't call it supernatural?
So basically, you're saying that if it's not science, it's not worth the time?
Why is it not a valid argument?
Supernatural phenomena does not claim to have scientific merit. You are also assuming that science will eventually explain everything about everything. That it is the only existing truth. This is called scientism, and it oversteps science's proper boundaries.
Inability to test something does not prove it doesn't exist.
And can still be considered.
If they didn't, they would it be a thing?
Let me ask you a funny question, and see where this conversation takes us.
Do you think that the current reality we experience as humans is true reality?
Makes sense.
When I say supernatural, this is what I mean.
Saying that I’m making a god of the gaps argument would also mean that you are making a science of the gaps argument.
Besides your belief that there is no higher power, what are your thoughts on supernatural phenomena?
Lets take a little break from politics and have us a real atheist conversation.
Personally, I'm open to the idea of the existence of supernatural phenomena, and I believe mainstream religions are actually complicated incomplete stories full of misinterpretations, misunderstandings, and half-truths.
Basically, I think that these stories are not as simple and straightforward as they seem to be to religious people. I feel like there is a lot more to them. Concluding that all these stories are just made up or came out of nowhere is kind of hard for me.
