But I have come to the realization that the road to truth is a long journey and that there is no shortcut getting there. That is why I have to remain open minded because I personally have no interest in studying up on this research and the debates. It would be no different than how I have no interest in studying up on physics or biology. So, that leaves me in a position where I can only live my life wondering if the paranormal, afterlife, god, etc. are real or not.
Bolded mine.
Then why the hell are you even attempting to discuss it if you have no interest in doing any of the footwork? Just like if you have no interest in studying up on biology or phyiscs, don't make a thread full of assertions and woo hand-waving about biology or physics.
