So when you talk about proof, to me they are simple anecdotes. Recollections from your life.
To be blunt, a story.
I am trying not to get angry here, as this is a direct assault on many many serious credible honest people who have come forward to face such withering scorn and let the world know of what they experienced.
one day, I truly hope, that you physically witness something yourself...but then have the honesty to come forward and proclaim "I just saw something" and not hide it away under the banner of "Hallucination". And then I hope that no one will turn around to you and say...
Recollections from your life....To be blunt, a story.
It just means very little to me.
Buggering off as I don't belong here.
I dont see what I said is anything to get angry about.
All are welcome here, I was merely making a comment about the discussion that is on going.
What YOU experience, what you see as proof....when recounted to me is nothing more than a story. What you experience is personal to you and maybe the others that are there. It is not in anyway proof to others that the paranormal exists.
I'm truelly sorry you cannot see things this way....it was never my intention to offend anyone.
I dont readily beleive in the afterlife, so I have a differing view point to yourself. If you cannot accept that I dont share the same oppinions as you then perhaps this is the wrong place. All are welcome here....irrespective of belief.
Also, please dont intentionally misquote me for effect. I finnished with the line:
