Abiola, please watch this

very common! many people say that they got kidnapped by aliens!

imrational, I see nothing amiss with your statement. As humans we often require proof of what is unknowable. Until that proof comes along, faith is all we have to go on. My faith is in a God Creator, and your's is on the hope of science to discover, and that also takes faith. Faith is not a bad thing and only describes an assurance one has that his position may be shown to be true in the end. For that we have to wait and see.

myturn,
again, there is no faith in my position. I fully acknowledge that science may not give the correct answers to things, now or in the future. I merely state that it provides a rational worldview based upon evidence and testing.

imrational, Ok.. I'm teased to ask, what, if I may ask, is rational about the origin of the universe, and what scientific evidence is there to support the viewpoint you're holding. I was an atheist once and can only speak for myself, but does it not frustrate you that there are so many unanswered questions begging for answers, namely how does a universe come from nothing at all? I'm just curious at this point.

myturn59,
The big bang is based on mathematical models derived from our understanding of physics. Last year, it was announced that there is a testable mathematical model for prior to the big bang that involved a multiverse.

Also, what's wrong with saying "I don't know"? I would think that would be a more honest answer than suddenly declaring faith in a bunch of insane stories.

stevenjohnireland,
Yes, I also thought it might be related to life-stressors... and advised her as such in PM.




However, I am curious as to why you feel the need to call me an idiot and prick when all I was trying to do was encourage a girl to seek a medical evaluation.

Thus medical evaluation equals psych labeling!!! which is more damaging!

stevenjohnireland,
I think you have some personal issues of your own involving medicine/psychiatry. Your first comments to me are insults and then follow with the equation that being evaluated for treatable medical conditions is equivalent to "psych labeling".

I suggest you root through your own closet, examine your own personal biases before you start throwing around insults.

As i work within a mental health/social inclution orginisation i find what you say damaging to people!

Stevenjohnireland,

You're listed occupation's website readily admits in its infomation section that it defines and treats 'hearing voices' differently to the established medical professions.

Considering your insulting manner and use of common Anti-psychiatry rhetoric, it is difficult to take what you say seriously.

"i find what you say damaging to people!"

You opinion does not carry more than anicdotal evidence, at best.

Good video imrational. (Subscribed)
