  Is it real? if no, why so many people believe? If yes, why they didn't come forward and save the economy, or go ahead and make lots of money?

  why cant people believe in something thats not real ?

• skythewood

  12 Nov 08, 18:14

  because believing in something that is not real sounds like something a crazy person will do?

  so either all christians, all catholics, all jews, all muslims or all hindus are crazy people ?

  Cos these religions are monotheistic and mutually exclusive. If any one is real, the others are false.

  religion is sensitive stuff...

  but simply put, believing that a virgin can bear child, or dying in a holy war will get you seven wives in heaven.... stuff like that is controversial.

  let's not go there.

  then by your own definition you are a crazy person.

  colors are not real, yet you believe in different colors

  why do you believe in something that isnt real ?

  colours... are not real....

  you lost me there.

  if the whole world turned blind, there would be no color.

  therefore colors are not part of reality.

  they're part of the mind, which processes light entering the retina.

  theres no such thing as color.

   

  in that sense, color is as real as flying cows. only in the mind.

  and not all minds work the same. for example the mind of a dog processes no color.

  colour is a form of light of a certain wavelength. stuff like UV rays cannot be observed, but they are still there.

  UV rays are real, just like colours are real.their effect, even if not seen, can be felt. black is a better radiator of heat than white.

  

  so... are psychics real?

  skythewood, please don't waste your time to argue with HyperionDCZ.

  He's only debating for the sake of arguing, so be smarter than that retard HyperionDCZ who doesn't even have any conviction or faith in his life.

  Even if you managed to prove your point to that retard, you will only end up with disappointment cos you can't really educate that retarded HyperionDCZ.

  Let the retard win or at least lie to him to allow him to think that he has won so that we can continue to have rational discussion rather than ruinning this topic altogether.

  Smart people must know how to pacify retarded people.

  ooo so angsty. go take a nap little girl.

   

  sky. you're right about UV rays and all. But you realize that UV rays have no color. the only 'color' is what we perceive.

  i think our approach is different. i thinking more on the physics side.

  anyway, remember the topic? Do you think psychics are real?

  sorry for going off topic then. im just trying the make the point that people believe in things which are untrue all the time. albeit subconsciously. in that sense it wouldnt be right to justify the existence of ESP with "so many people believe it". And theres nothing to prove the existence of psychic abilities. the conclusion is obvious as such
