In any form or fashion. If you do believe in a supernatural thing(s) what?

    The god of the gap? No. I believe in proof and evidence, and once you have that it’s not supernatural anymore. Isn’t the real world interesting enough?

    If “supernatural things” were to exist, they would be part of nature and therefore natural by definition.

    No lol. Belief in the supernatural in any form is un-Marxist.

    Whether that’s angels and demons and deities, witches and ghosts, or astrology and healing crystals. It is a virtue to have a completely Materialist worldview.

    Now that almost everyone on planet earth has a small camera with them at all times, it would have been really cool to have discovered some supernatural stuff, be it ghosts, Big Foot, Nessie, whatever (and someone still might, who knows?), but instead all we get is police brutality. 🙁

    I believe that people have experiences they can’t explain, and that this happens far more often than most would imagine. Imo a lot of it has to do with how our minds handle probability — we imagine that ‘highly improbable’ things never happen, at least not to us, so when they do, we experience it as ‘supernatural’

    i’ve seen things i cannot give a fully scientific explanation to why they happened, and i believe there are things that are not currently explainable by current science. however i don’t take the explanations currently given by most religious, esoteric and magick groups at face value, and more so in their vision of how a society is to be shaped.

    I grew up listening to Art Bell and still have my tinfoil hat. I believe that there are things in this universe that we don’t remotely even begin to understand. All manner of things and legends could be true at least in part.

    But I’ve also grown up enough and seen enough to realize that 99% of so called supernatural or otherworldly things are either jokes, pranks, or misunderstandings of known natural phenomena. I’d hazard a guess that at least 2/3rds of the rest also have quite mundane explanations.

    As for the rest, I am grateful that there are still things in this world that we still don’t understand. It makes things interesting.

    Yes. Stuff like lucky outfits for interviews, choosing lucky days when I can’t make up my mind on when to schedule an appointment, and various other little rituals based in anecdote rather than written evidence. Perhaps a particularly satisfying story or two about why the world is the way it is in the absence of a more naturalistic explanation.

    But not the ghost haunting, UFO, or skinwalker kind of stuff. Won’t believe it until I see it myself. Makes finding a good horror podcast a bit more challenging for me.
