Due to unrelated discussions in this thread and other threads, I write ,completely related my posts and the continuation of my original discussion, in large font size, so that it is easy for readers to follow the main topic of my thread.

Stop that.  A lot of people are using phones to access the forum and don't need the big font making it harder to read.

Conversations here do wander.  That's how conversation works.

Just because you write in a larger font doesn't mean that your posts are more important or easier to follow.  It's quite akin to posting in all caps.

Well there's your problem, you equate "supernatural" with "unrealistic"

That's not a problem - that's a feature. Big Grin

Unrealistic and improbable occurrences are outliers - they generally can't be used as reliable guides to life, simply because they're unpredictable, cannot be duplicated and cannot be counted on as solutions to everyday problems.  Waste of fucking time to chase after them, if you ask me.

So you're saying hallucinogenic drug trips are a waste of time? That's a big LOL

Enlightenment is easy to understand. If you don't understand it, you're just ignorant.
