Hi Spiritman,
I appreciate your belief in the metaphysical.
I believe in things on the bases of some verifiable supportive evidence from unbias sources. Simply someone saying believe it. Doesnt cut it with me. I can not 'will' myself to have faith. No matter how hard I try no matter how much I grit my teeth and squint my eyes, I can not MAKE myself believe on the basis of simple faith. I wish I could.
If you told me that 200 pound mushrooms existed in your back yard, I would have to either trust what you say is true or come and see for myself that they do in fact exist. I am a skeptic, I wish sometimes I was not. It is just impossible for me to accept claims of the supernatural. I respect your beliefs as beliefs, but claims of facts must be supported or will be met with a skeptical eye. And as I said before I believe 'life' is miraculous.
