What Are Your Views On Supernatural Occurrences? by bolaino(m): 9:37am On Apr 28, 2013
On my journey to self enlightenment, I have had lots of experiences both good and bad, before I became an agnostic I practiced lots of religions that deal with occult mysticism, and I gathered a knowledge or two about the supernatural, So my stance on the issue of supernatural occurrences is that of the affirmative, I believe in supernatural occurrences. As I have experienced them first hand.

What made me create this topic is the growing trend of atheists who go about with the assertion that there are no metaphysical happenings, that everything can be explained and that the things that can not be explained now, are probably things that science has not fully comprehended and will soon demystify in the nearest future, I could understand this stance coming from an atheist who lives in the western world, but I will not take it from an atheist who was born and bred up here in Africa, Nigeria especially,

My reasons being we as africans have one way or the other seen first hand or heard (from eye witness accounts) numerous tales of things beyond human comprehension, from either seeing unbroken eggs in glass bottles to seeing lots of crucifixes in glass bottles, how where these things made to happen? It's beyond human comprehension, and like so many other numerous tales of supernatural experiences heard from friends and family,

So it baffles me when I see atheists like Ooman, muskeeto, regynius, logicboy, ezme, Rossikk, and the rest of the bandwagon, try to give rational explanation for issues beyond their comprehension, I'm not saying that we should continue to chase shadows like ezme would say, no, but we should give an open mind to issues that try to enlighten us on the occurrence of metaphysical happenings,

Thank God for science, now we are able to explain many of the things our ancestors regarded as supernatural, now we know that these were just natural occurrences Caused by mother nature, but the truth still remains that there are things even the almighty science will never be able to give good explanations for.

So my fellow freethinkers, be objective in your discussions about the supernatural. But I would like to hear your opinions on this issue as well.

Superstitions thrive where there's mass ignorance. Even within Nigeria, most of these so called happenings are said to happen in the 'VILLAGES'.. Little wonder, most would direct you to go to their villages for 'proof'..

Less SCIENCE, more SUPERSTITION, dense IGNORANCE..

lol, I just can't stop laughing, muskeeto hav kee meee, lol, I made a mistake by including regynius, my bad, the name just came to me, while I was typing,

Indeed you're right superstition thrives where there is ignorance I very well agree, and another thing I know is the belief system of a group of people matters a lot, and most of these mystical occurrences happen where these people share a close affinity to. Belief system that gives credence to metaphysical happenings, but there is enough evidence to support their claims in these happenings, hence their belief in them,

Unlike people living in countries like switzerland where religion is minimal, the possibilities of metaphysical happenings there is rare, because the belief system of the people there does not suPport supernatural occurrences, my point is these forces who control the metaphysical world rely on belief, If you believe then it'll happen, and for those who believe they've seen things happen,

And your experiment about the egg in a bottle, forgive my ignorance, as no man can claim absolute knowledge of everything, but I would like u to perform the experiment and show me results, and also u did'nt give an explanation to the crucifix in the glass bottle,

Pls quote me where I said science is beyond human comprehension, it's even absurd for u to have mentioned that, science was created by humans so how can it be beyond our comprehension? I only said there are things that science can not give GOOD EXPLANATIONS for,

Most of the things people claim are supernatural events, are just natural events that can not be explained. . .Example we have magicains that use tricks to deceieve that they have supernatural abilities, but when they explain their tricks you discover that it is just some esoteric natural knowledge they used. . .

Indeed. There's nothing wrong with the 'idea' of the existence of a supreme being. One thing's for sure, the religious ones are man-made, all of them...

I'd leave you with this snippet of a discussion between me and Purist earlier this year

musKeeto: @Purist: what made you disbelieve? How long did it take, your transtition period.. I've been hoping to ask u for a long time now.. Abeg no return to sniper mode just yet..

Purist:

lol @ sniper mode. grin

My deconversion story is an uninteresting one, because there's no story to begin with. Nothing dramatic, no tragedy in my family, no disappointments of any sorts, etc. For me, it was just kind of like a Eureka! moment. The transition, I'd say started around 2006/7. Started with doubts, questioned stories in the bible e.g. garden of Eden, tower of Babel, etc. Transition was quite typical though - Serious Christian -> Liberal Christian -> Deist -> Agnostic -> Agnostic atheist (of course, I'd rather avoid these labels altogether). In fact, I'd say the transition is still on, as I constantly re-evaluate my position from time to time. For instance, I saw the movie, Cloud Atlas, last night and while the rational part of me dismissed the whole concept (reincarnation) as nonsense, I still found myself wondering, "what if..?"

In short, the whole thing just stopped making sense to me. I can't exactly pinpoint to the "what" that made me to start disbelieving. One thing though, is that I have always been very curious, even as a kid. Once, I asked my mom who created God and the response I got was "shut up!". I have always questioned stories in the bible and practices in Christianity for as long as I remember but as a Christian, I learned to just accept even if it seemed senseless because my understanding, I was told, was "limited". After all, God's ways are not our ways. Thinking of it now, probably I was never really a Christian (NL Christians would so love to hear that cheesy ), maybe I have always been an unbeliever who simply tried too hard to be a Christian. Although in my Christian days, if anyone told me I'd ever stop believing, I'd have thought them mad, absolutely mad. So I guess the transition was just a bolder me coming to terms with the questions I've always had in my mind and seeking to address them once and for all.

Purist:

Indeed, there may be more to life. Something might have created this world quite alright. But I'm bloody damn sure nobody knows whatever this thing or things are; we all just speculate. And some speculations are far more ridiculous than others.

Criss Angel is a MAGICIAN and ILLUSIONIST. Plus he uses heavy video editing and employs lots of stooges...

It's called ENTERTAINMENT for a reason, don't tell me you also believe the WWE is 'real' fights?
Re: What Are Your Views On Supernatural Occurrences? by Kay17: 3:21pm On Apr 28, 2013
The Supernatural is a contravention of the natural. It is not what's beyond our knowledge, it accepts our limited knowledge, but it is inconsistent with it. It accepts our understanding of natural phenomenon, yet it develops contravening idea against it.

For example: Water boils at 100oC, supernatural accepts thatn and contradicts it by saying water boils at 0oC

lol, muskeeto, u are a "know know" pikin, I don't believe WWE fights are real, but I believe that criss angel does actual magic, yeah, I've seen him explain some of his tricks,

but the ones he does that stand out there is no explanation for them cos he does them in the open example of such is his walking on a swiMming pool, that was something beyond the physical, if u doubt me, learn it and try doing it and see if u won't drown,

and he actually levitates, watch some of his levitations and see for yourself, cos he does'nt do magic in restricted areas, he does them in open places and spectators are allowed to film while he is doing most of his feats

There are things that can't be explained. I accept that. But one day, i'm quite sure they will.. well maybe not everything.. but science yields better fruits than superstition, so why let superstitions rope us in?

You're a freethinker, question everything, and test every answer. I told you about the egg in the bottle trick why not try it yourself?

Ok, Bolaino, indeed there are things that seem to be out of natural explanation but these things only seem to be, they are really not. There is nothing supernatural in nature, everything has natural explanations.

I have also visited some places and seen some things, I was surprised that what people term supernatural are events they are too lazy to decipher or things they lack the technology for

The supernatural world does not exist and magic is not real.

well I have watched the youtube videos where he explains how he does his levitation, but I have also watched videos where he levitates to heights of over 20 ft, so the explanation he gave does not explain those occasions,

and If I might ask if you're criss angel, and u can really levitate and you're using it to make money, would u expose your secret to the world? What I think is the explanation being given by criss angel is to try to make what he does look logical so that people like us freethinkers won't start asking questions that he would'nt want to answer, that's my two cents,

well the beauty of science is that there is no dogma in science, and also as freethinkers we have the ability to acknowledge our mistakes upon light of new information, well, like u pointed out criss angels tricks are all about entertainment, and by the end of the day he gets us entertained,

But it still doesn't change the fact that there are things that science can never be able to explain, and that makes them supernatural.

I don't believe in a God, but I believe that there is vortex of energy that surrounds this universe and it can be finetuned by a group of beings, to do a specific thing at a specific time, and this energy can be used for good or for evil, who knows, it could be a branch of science that we've not been able to explain or have knowledge of, but till we have proper grasp of this form of science, I will refer to it as the metaphysical.

Of course I believe in the supernatural and supernatural occurrences...just not some crappy egg in the bottle act!! grin (come on son!) grin grin grin grin

Anyway, I feel like preaching...and therefore I am going to. cheesy cheesy

The problem for us theists occur when people FAKE IT. It gives the ridiculous explanations provided by atheist some credibility when so called theists lie about their experiences.

I believe that the connection with God or divine entity/ies requires 110% of one's undivided attention. It's all about truly giving one's all: mind, body, and soul.

I am a deep person and although I am not 100 percent "there yet" the kind of dreams, visions, and thoughts I get can't simply be explained as "my subconscious thoughts". No-No! I know that my creator communicates with me in all three ways. God obviously did the same thing with our ancestors thousands of years ago who provided the blueprint for what we know today in terms of technology and science.

The problem again came with "proto-atheists" (as i like to call them) who paid more attention to what they could do with those gifts and less actually using them to properly understand the meaning of life. What people fail miserably to understand is any time science and/or technology was used to challenge God or abuse these gifts in any kingdom/empire..it fell and it fell hard!! From Egypt, to Rome...and now even America. tongue

Putting one's trust 100 percent in fellow humans from a psychological standpoint is bound to result in epic failure!! - Mark my words. (God/nature vs. some scientist or a preacher..HUMANS..really? grin)

Back to what I was saying...You have to be at peace and truly understand yourself, life, and all that happens around you in order to properly understand and serve God. I realize that there are far more atheists in the world than theists..many of these non-believers still claim to be part of a religion. But you can't tell me about God if you are collecting tithes or "offerings" on behalf of a church's building fund grin. You can't tell me about God if you believe in holy wars or even flying in private jets just to preach..lol no way.

So in some ways I can understand why atheism on the rise however, I know a there is a God. I'm not that weak to allow my disappointment with my fellow man, take me away from trying to know the force/s that created me. I plan to continue my quest by observing through my own lens (and yes even with the aid of science) and to accept life for what it is. I am here to do a job..i don't know yet though i have received the signs but when my job is done..i'll go home.

That's all there is to it.

ok I'm done...now let the insults reign!! grin grin grin grin

What about many persons who have been shot with ak 47 rifles and no penetration.??......guess you would call that magic ba??.....grin

It is a LIE. . .Bring such a person and I will shoot him with my AK47. . .The person MUST fall. . .Bullet proof Juju is a LIE and a stupid myth that is been bandied around with no evidence at all. . .

bolaino: well I have watched the youtube videos where he explains how he does his levitation, but I have also watched videos where he levitates to heights of over 20 ft, so the explanation he gave does not explain those occasions,

and If I might ask if you're criss angel, and u can really levitate and you're using it to make money, would u expose your secret to the world? What I think is the explanation being given by criss angel is to try to make what he does look logical so that people like us freethinkers won't start asking questions that he would'nt want to answer, that's my two cents,

Watch the youtube videos I suggested and you will see that its all tricks, he himself and many others have explain the tricks employed. . . .Here are the videos. . .

We all know that eye witness testimonies are very useless. . . .Bullet proof JUJU is a myth. . .Bring any juju man i will come and shoot him if he does not fall he should take my life. . .If you agree then pls bring a volunteer and lets try it. . .I will come with my AK47 to any place of your choosing. . .Next month cos I will be in Naija. . .
