The Reasons why "Just Following Jesus" Doesn't work
RE: The Reasons why "Just Following Jesus" Doesn't work
I've been trying to fit my definition of "supernatural" into your description, Vic. I realized it would amount to two distinct areas of nature, one of which can affect the other but not vice versa, for some reason. So they are still part of nature, just somehow out of alignment so as to only allow one way interaction.

And once again, there's no reason to think this subset is anything other than empty; it's just acknowledging where such things would be if they did exist. The way quantum mechanics has things popping in and out of "existence", it doesn't seem unreasonable to me to think there may be some "other side"; but we can never demonstrate that it's a side we can't ever act upon. So even if this other side exists, stating it's in this other subset is always going to be an argument from ignorance.

What would be better wording... "the set of things that can act on everything else but can't be acted upon by everything else" is rather clumsy.

Cloaked nature?

Fuck this! Big Grin
