moonraker, you are entitled to say what you think about the subject. There will always be those that believe and those that dont believe.
Many things can be explained away, but there will always be the small percentage that, for now, cannot be explained in any way.
I dont believe in a God, but i wouldnt try to change the minds of those that do.
ankou, it does kind of sound like that.
but the picture of this guy was on my drive. so by taken a pitcure of it i could trace over and draw him. does that make it a bit clearer?
Like i have said before, there is no evidence to really substantiate either way. If you believe you believe, if you don't you don't. What we have is just telling it how it is, but my argument is that people who don't believe for whatever reason(if there is any at all) probably condemn all that they don't understand and cannot see and experience with there own eyes anyway. If they lived next door to Manchester but never saw it, if somebody tried to tell them it existed they would condemn it any way possible....That's my argument.
"people who don't believe for whatever reason(if there is any at all) probably condemn all that they don't understand and cannot see and experience with there own eyes"
thats called disbelief, its not a crime. you might be offended by disbelief but do not need to condemn it either.
i might have seen summink with my own eyes that i have rationalised as tiredness or a misconception, others would see the same thing as ghostly or ethereal. its just the way people are and their perceptions : different, and we all need to accept that.
