In fact, I'm not too sure of the validity of tangible reality, period.

We could never be too sure about anything. That's why we should always take the most reasonable approaches. Believing that you don't exist would be as reasonable as believing that you won't die at all if you were to stand in a dreamy manner in the middle of the train track while a train approaches you speedily and runs you over into several pieces.

I think that lots of good people really really try hard, and they were raised with something they could trust in. As long as they mean no harm to others I cant blame someone for wanting to believe in something.

True.

And as the "speaking in tongues" bit, I believe it's just people speaking plain gibberish. Easy for me to understand.



no, it's not reasonable, but I don't think anything about "faith" is reasonable. I just like to think about stuff.


but with the speaking in tongues bit ... I actually talked to someone who had the experience. They just make noises, but it is like a direct connection or something. It is like speaking without words.

idk, to "believe" in something, seems unreasonable to me too :)

Agreed, eris. You're on to something, i'll tell you that much. Its all too interconnected, and there are too many layers. Reality doesn't make any sense in the slightest.

Those who speak in tongues believe it to be a holy language. There are the speakers and the interpreters.

The speakers and interpeters are both full of shit. They WANT to believe that if they just make a bunch of random noises that it is a holy language. It isn't.

My post lent no statement to credibility; just adding to eris' explanation of the topic of tongues.

Agnostic, but I firmly think there isn't a "god" out there. It's more what happens after you die and such. I don't believe there's a heaven or hell and I'll accept it may be just blackness, but there could be something. :dunno:

You're right. I shoulda done that.

But anyway, just as I thought, most here are atheists/agnostics/deists. Must be very lonely here without the fundamentalist Christians and Muslims. :angel:

Seriously, I run a forum that is several times the size of this one. My least favourite members, right after spammers (banned 1788 of them today, yayness  :yawn:) are the fundies. They bring their backwardsass beliefs into EVERYTHING. Worse yet, I can't ban them just for being fundies, I have to wait for them to slip up and attack someone.
