Dowsing?

Yeah, it's all fun and games, until some dimwit starts using this sh*t to find bombs...

That was pretty eye-watering at the time.

Seems simple enough to test. 

1.  Take one hundred identical boxes and lay them out in a grid pattern.

2.  In two of the boxes, place a sample of whatever the dowser claims to be able to find. 

3.  Collapse in hysterical laughter.

Well, that's the thing, innit?  It is really pretty simple to design experiments to test paranormal claims. The difficult bit is getting true believers to accept the results.

Lol, it is even mentioned in this rap:





I am not a fan of rap, but this one is quite acceptable.

I am NOT those guys! But, I think James would have a difficult time with me. He exposes these con artists. Yet, I have been accused of being another David Koresh or, Jim Jones misleading the faithful. AND THAT HURTS! It make me cry when they tell me I'm a "blaspheming heretic".


No one is behind me as I am leading no one. Yes, I wrote a book the exposes theology for what it is--COMPLETE BULLSHIT! Yet, I do not gather followers. But rather, show life to the blinded.


I've often said here that the only truth is your own life. I figured that out along time ago. That my life is truth and theology is a lie.


The other lie is erroneous science because it is a belief system much like theology and these two are in opposition. They are BOTH lies! Because the only truth we have is are own lives and we should NEVER let anyone tell us differently. What really else do we need to understand beside ourselves? Yet, we must have good observation skills so that we do not delude ourselves.


It's about how we place confidences; how we hope; how we love; how we function; how we accept what we have become. That is your life and it is NOT A LIE! 

Fuck science and fuck theology! Some of you are so God damned lovable and real! But, you are not "damned" to anything. If your life disproves any of science, it does NOT mean your life is lying to you. If my own life disproves anything of theology, it does not mean my life is lying to me!


There is much to learn even still yet! We haven't arrived anywhere! This is just another beginning! And I, for one, am grateful for beginnings! Do overs baby! 

Someday I'll get it more right. Until then, there is much to learn.


The bible says, "You will know God by what He has made". So I look to the things that are made, which is nature, to find truth in science and God. There is no "unnatural" truth. God is preternatural and NOT "supernatural". The Church lied!

Which has fuck all to do with dowsing or any other paranormalities.  But here's a little test for you:

Beside me, right here on my desk, is a book.  It is a well-known work of fiction by a well-known author. If you're not a con artist, and have all of these abilities you claim to have, simply read my mind, or astral project on over here and tell me the title of the book.  But no fishing - you get one chance to answer correctly.  Do so, and I'll admit your powers.  Get it wrong, and you're nothing but a mouthy fraud.

I'll wait.
