Actually, yes. It is great when you do it because it shows that you're coming around to reason and common sense.

but when you really think about it, is it really that crazy? the whole midwayers thing...

Uh, yes. It's quite crazy indeed. This has been my opinion (since you requested that people make the distinction).

i mean, billions of people seem to have no problem in believing that an invisible all powerful super being is to thank for bringing them the canned corn they're eating for dinner from his magic work office in the clouds..

Very true.

i dont personally believe in the midwayer thing or take it seriously, i originally started this thread to see if there were people who did.

Got it

an example of how ignorant people can be because of society's brainwashing. its amazing how every argument i make against some of the people in here have been perfectly demonstrated almost instantly by the next poster.

im not telling you to consider the midwayers thing itself, but just to be a little more open minded to ALL other beliefs and such. it may seem crazy to you but to others it might not be.

if you had understood everything i said you would already know i never actually believed in the midwayers thing in the first place.

apparently there's a reason behind all of the mindless, repetitive redrilling of ideas; some of you just don't get it the first time. in your case, its been more than one.

and if you mention "common sense" i sincerely hope you're an atheist. if not, spare yourself the embarrassment and lie to me.

here's a recap of what ive been saying because you guys seem to like it when things are mindlessly repeated over and over:

1. you should respect other people's beliefs no matter how you were raised, otherwise, you're just being ignorant.

2. I <-----[referring to myself here, just to make sure you understand] do not, did not believe in the midwayers thing, just seeing if there were people who actually took it seriously.

3. please, do not refer to me as crazy, paranoid, schitzophrenic, etc. because its not like i believe in the midwayers thing; although even if I did, you still shouldn't say things like that to me. no one here is going up to you catholics and telling you that you've wasted every sunday talking to an imaginary friend.

So, in other words, no matter how absurd some one's statements might be, we're supposed to just nod and say "Wow, you are so correct about that! That sounds absolutely reasonable!"?

And yes, I understand that you are now saying you don't believe in that. That's why I said something about " coming around to reason".

Perhaps it would do you some good to re-read your original post. In said post, you had a serious notion that this numerology might have something to it. Now, your tune is being sung in a different key. It's quite ok that you've changed from thinking it might be true to thinking that maybe there's not anything to it. But don't act like we're being mean for pointing out the ridiculous nature of it all.

no. wow, okay. im must have said about 3 or more times already that you should at least be respectful towards other people's beliefs. to some people, their beliefs are important. im not telling you to listen to the first crazed homeless person telling you who shot jfk but when it comes to something that applies to like a way of life or religion you should follow that old rule of if you have nothing nice to say, dont say anything. wars have been fought over religion, you know?

well i could list endless examples of things people believed in, that, looking through logic and common sense are completely ridiculous. [obviously]

but im not going to go and call each of those things ridiculous, not because im afraid of crazed religious zealots and such but im respectful towards what they believe in, because to them, its important.

if society raised us to worship clocks and to believe aliens and angels or w/e contacts us through clocks then im sure we would have a good chance of believing in that. and then we would be here saying that a man being dead and locked in tomb with a heavy boulder somehow came alive again and escaped as a magic ghost is ridiculous

and after rereading my original post, i guess i see what you were saying about me seeming serious; i was having one of those nights where for whatever reason i was a bit spooked and well, the mind works differently at night. however, i really never believed it, just because of my current mood i thought there might actually be people who believe in this stuff.

or maybe its a stupid coincidence?

shows im still not believing in it..... also since you're so familiar with my first post you see that i didnt make one statement that can solidly mean "I believe in the midwayers theory"

again,

are aliens contacting me through manipulating the clock around me and making me check the time at these exact times to send me some sort of message? or maybe my subconscious just tells me to check the time when its symmetrical some how? and if it did, why?

i asked this. tell me, why would i ask about the validity of the core 'fact' of something i really believe in?

a catholic doesnt say "did jesus really die and come back"?

you told me that i am "now" saying i never believed in it, correct?
