It may sound tame compared to other pointlessly random things (you can't prove I'm not guided by telepathic pixies!), but it is just as pointless and unfounded.
Well, like I said, this thread was supposed to be "Thoughts on Buddhism" which would include Eastern Mystical thoughts, which I'm attempting to address.
Of course none of this stuff can be scientifically tested. I'm not proposing this for scientific investigation.
I'm just offering THOUGHTS on Buddhism (and Eastern Mystical spiritual ideas).
Just like the TOPIC is supposed to be about.
Why are you guys getting so upset about this?
It's not like I'm in a science forum demanding that I have proved the existence of a spiritual world or something.
I'm just addressing FOOD FOR THOUGHT on spiritual ideas especially those of Eastern Mysticism and Buddhism, etc.
Sheesh.
You guys are acting like I broke into the LHC with an AK47 demanding that they test for my Goddess Particle.
Christian - A moron who believes that an all-benevolent God can simultaneously be a hateful jealous male-chauvinistic pig.
Wiccan - The epitome of cerebral evolution having mastered the magical powers of the universe and is in eternal harmony with the mind of God.
Atheist - An ill-defined term that means something different to everyone who uses it.

Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.
Clearly Jesus (a fictitious character or otherwise) will forgive people if they merely know not what they do
For the Bible Tells us so!
