  You claim the dead can be raised by the power of your thoughts. Go and do it tomorrow and do it in public. Put up or shut up.

  My claim is that the human mind is capable of such feats. I aspire to my fullest potential, which should be limitless. I will admit that my faith is not strong enough, because of fear, but it's a work in process. Which is why I gave myself the several year timeframe. Sorry to disappoint. Do you know what it would feel like to raise someone from the dead? The Pharisees would be SO ON YOUR ASS. ;)

  Do you think the world is ready for such a reality? Because a part of me thinks that most people on this planet are content with mediocrity and harsh realities. They have existed in a state of hopelessness for so long that it's possible that that hopelessness has become comforting. What happens when shit stops happening? Would it be boring? Stories HAVE to have some sort of antagonist or else books would never sell.

  Willy Wonka: But Charlie, don't forget what happened to the man who suddenly got everything he always wanted.

  Charlie Bucket: What happened?

  Willy Wonka: He lived happily ever after.

  Hi Sabatious.

  So since you have been away you have graduated to believing you can raise the dead. Who would have thought it?

  It was this comment that gave me the hint...

  "Cofty is the most irrational person I have ever seen. In fact, all the outspoken atheists on this board fly in the face of basic logic and reason. It's funny to watch them present themselves as champions of academia when they are just people with too much time on their hands." - Latinthunder Sabatious

  Still hijacking words like "reality", "rational", "logic" and "reason" I see.

  Until someone beats me to it! Remember this important caveat, that I believe ANYONE can do it. We just need more ambition and less apathy.

  Rationally speaking, words continue to evolve meaning. That's why they have the ability to hold multiple definitions at once. Hijacking implies some sort of illegal action, which is not the case with me. I simply want to enrich the english language by not acting like it's written in stone. I could go on all day about how it's irrational assert the existence of an objective reality, which you do so very often, but I'll have to save it for another day, as I lack the time.

  Hi Sab - missed you

  Hi Cantleave, thanks! Missed you too!

  I can't wait.
