Testing a Hypothesis about the Supernatural
#74
RE: Testing a Hypothesis about the Supernatural
Meh, if you ask a believer, you'll get incoherent goddisms.  As it stands, the supernatural is just another name for superstition.  Conceptually, the natural is a blanket term for whatever we find in the world..which would include magical forces..if such things existed.

Ultimately, the persistence of the category says more about any given persons need to carve out a little chunk of the universe for their pet beliefs than any real or conceptual separation of worlds.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
