I'm thinking about getting a subscription for The Skeptical Inquirer. I've been meaning to do this for some time, but just recently I've stumbled across the site.

Sometimes I wish I could go back to the time where I knew nothing and believed everything. When I believed magic was real, ghosts were real, God was real.. I never thought of calling myself a skeptic, ever, when I was the exact opposite. I thought of them as the "bad guys" somehow, the ones who cling to science like it's the truth. Ironic, since science is the closest to truth you can get, really.

Now all of my books on magic, I scoff at. I wonder how I could have believed it was true, such as a book on shapeshifting, for example. I used to be into New Age things before I discovered that it was all shit.

As much as I know magic doesn't exist, I wish it did. I wish the paranormal existed. But if the paranormal or the supernatural were to be discovered by science, it suddenly wouldn't be so paranormal anymore, but natural. Like when man first discovered fire, or electricity.

But one can always dream. 0 Comments - Post/view comments
