The problem with skeptics is that they stop being skeptic at an arbitrary point.
It's ok not believing blindly in stories about ghosts, for example. But when a "rational" explanation for it comes, you should be skeptic of it too. Never stop questioning, specially questioning your own beliefs of having understood something completely.
There's the classical skepticism about God the creator. The "childlike fairy tale" of average-IQ christians is surely something to be skeptical about. But do you become suddenly satisfied with your understanding when you learn about the big bang? There's so much more to ask, and the possible answers open space to new "futurelly scientific" explanations that could include even ghosts and reincarnations. When the question of "why/how does something exist, instead of nothing" is met with "there's a probability of something existing, so it does" (or similar) and you are SATISFIED with that, you are just lazy. Question every answer that you come up with.
The "I know everything that is knowable" egocentrism of average atheists is pityful.
>futurelly
out, sorry senpai
time dilation after the big bang is known, yet retarded astrophysicists imply things beyond the scope with dating the age of the universe without accounting for the dilation.
It doesn't matter what you believe, it matters how you'll be judged, and that has nothing to do with what you believe.
>>18922212
People judge for what you believe in.
I see your point tough and I also think that it's wrong.
ent camping first time in over 10 years, got home took shower, shaved legs, see strange marks but ignore it. Next day husband notices and it's pretty strange. Any ideas? It's on my upper right leg's inner thigh.

the world as we know it is going to end within a few months, that or US ROFL stomps NK and global interest rates start rising as the us has delt with one of the lest few remaining countries not enslaved by the Rothschild, leaving russia to man up for one last stand, probably building up for a couple of years, until which point they declare war on America, America forces its allys to join which is most of the world at this point, leading to WW3, and a nuclear winter few will survive
Are you ready to play a game?
This is a game with a candle, a mirror, and a knife.
What I do now is my responsibility, and your burden.
This is just mentalism. Nothing will come from nothing. If you don’t want anything from this, you'll get bored quick. But if you go into the trick with a goal in mind, you can achieve mental clarity, self-knowledge, and understanding.
Let's begin
We will need:
> a dark quiet room with no locked doors
> a candle, or some other flickering flame that can be kept lit for a long time
> a reflective surface large enough to hold your face, like a disposable glass mirror or still body of water
> a knife, hammer, or rock
At least an hour of time
It is also recommended (But not needed) that you subject yourself to any of the below, for shits n giggles
> sleep deprivation
> alcohol or other drugs that don’t break your concentration
> lyricless music or heavy repetitive beats like isochronic tones, monaurals, or binaurals
> wearing shoes
The process is as follows:

Let's talk about the things which shouldn't exist, but still exist. It doesn't have to be scary stuff. Just stuff where you think: "Man this is so weird and bizarre, it could come straight from a comic and the more I think about it the weirder it gets."
Let's start with something simple. Atomic bombs. We are amazed at mages who can shoot fireballs in fiction, but we aren't amazed that our species can create fireballs big enough to flatten entire fucking cities. Nobody in human history could have ever imagined this. It's almost fucking magic.
>>18920909
There are more of those in the universe than atoms on earth.
I had a dream last night that stood out which is strange for me because i don't usually dream, but heres what i remember:
>i'm in what looks to be antarctica
>white and snowy landscape all around
>its in a very early stage of development with homes and streets with streetlights lighting up the area
>walking down one of the streets to fuck knows where
>the sky dark and grey and covered in overcast
>look up and see something in the sky
>it's a sideways christian cross illuminating in red flames out from the clouds
>"what the fuck is that shit"
>continue walking down the street while looking at it and repeatedly saying what the fuck to myself
>something else begins to emerge from the clouds beside the cross
>it's fucking jesus!
"oh shit!"
>he looks right at me
>NOPE
>immediately start sprinting down the street like it's the fucking apocalypse
>he starts to say something to me but can't understand because running
>keep running till eventually i can't see or hear him
>continue exploring the early snow settlement with two blunts in my mouth
Overall was pretty entertaining dream considering i don't usually have any. This most likely doesn't mean anything but i know you guys like to hear shit like this so i thought i'd post it and see what you guys think.
>drawing in pic unrelated
>>18920828
That picture you drew was on my hand when I was I a trance. It was glowing in my hand as if it was attached.
>>18920858
Really? That was just something i drew in class. What kind of trance? Were you meditating?
>>18920828
nice geometry tho bro
I'm not the only one who was straight traumatized because of K-12, right?
It remains the darkest and most unnatural experience of my life.
>I've heard some spooky shit about being a "gifted & talented" kid, too.
>>18920689
How about you provide a little background and reasoning behind your thoughts instead of pulling your tired and old special snowflake routine and waiting for people to beg and plead for your retarded roleplay story?
>>18920697
Of all the vampire and alien posts and everything
This is when you put your foot down on the roleplaying here
>>18920705
I just got here, sorry
If you ever posted any of the following:
>the world is ending this year for sure, even though every other prediction before was wrong this one is the real deal
>god/satan/aliens/angels/demons/ghosts/etc are contacting/speaking to me
>anyone that disagrees with me or tries to disprove me is a shill/disinfo/reptillian/demon/skinwalker/etc
>you cant trust the media at all except for these oddly specific sites that i happen to like
>I took X drug and Y happened!
Then you need to leave /x/ immediately because you are everything wrong with this board.
>it's an "anon complains about his favorite board" episode again
I agree but also that eliminates 90% of an already crawlingly slow board.

Mating rituals
Definitely, mating rituals.

Noice.
Do you consider yourself a skeptic?
>>18920324
All it takes to be a skeptic on /x/ is to not be completely and entirely out of your fucking mind.
Most so called 'skeptics' are trollplayers, just teens that like to argue since they have nothing on topic to say and it's easy to be contrary.

I'm not sure if this is anything significant, but I found this plank in a hollow tree in my local park. Notice the star of david and the other symbol on the right and left respectively. And the strange writing of course. Does anyone know what this is?
>>18920251
>I found this plank in a hollow tree in my local park
I do not believe you.
>>18920295
Ok? Well that doesn't matter. Do you know anything about it?
>>18920251
>local park
Where exactly?
i just this massive bug about 1.5 inches long.
i've lived in british columbia for 4 decades and never seen anything like this before
what is it? is it alien?
That's a stonefly
I'd guess it was some type of wasp/hornet.
Pretty sure it's not an ayylmao
>>18920153
Stonefly can confirm. Next.
