| What questionable things do you or do you not believe in?
I for one do NOT believe in Bigfoot, the sasquatch, the Lochness monster, the Mothman, crop circles, spontaneous human combustion, Elvis sightings, palm readings, tarot cards, ouija boards, or the theory that strange events and/or behavior follow a full moon.
I DO believe in the existence of ghosts, aliens, I believe that something hokey was going on at Roswell and Area 51 despite everybody going back on their stories, I DO have some belief in psychics and ESP, but I'm on the fence of the idea of Men in Black that come to people's homes and threaten them unless they back off their claims of contact with UFOs or extraterristrials.
How about everyone else? | |

| This is probably more of a superstition than a belief, but I am leery of saying "God Dammit". Never comfortable of the idea of using a expletive in the same context as God. (Even though I just did.) | |

| I put a little stock in the full moon thing. I worked at a nursing home in high school and have always known several people who work in one, and it seems that often a full moon produces a night that is filled with strange ailments and crazed behaviors. | |

| I believe in some supernatural things. Ghosts, spirits, things like that. I also believe real psychics exist. I believe Sylvia Browne is not one of them. Not so sure about "aliens", but open to the possibility. | |

| I am quite sure there is life on other planets. There must be, it would be a statistical impossibility for Earth to host the only life in such a vast universe.
Since I have never seen the headline "Psychic picks lotto numbers three times in a row" I don't believe in psychics. I do believe that your life experiences and possibilities show up in physical aspects of your body, i.e. your palms, but I don't believe that anyone can predict your future with any reliability by reading your palms, just what MAY happen.
And I constantly find myself playing that little game "if that light turns green before I get to it, I'll have a good day." | |

| Anything I or anybody else believes is "questionable." Everything that one can believe in can be questioned. | |

I would agree with that in many cases but not as an absolute. If you want to question the force of gravity, that the Earth is round or that it revolves around the Sun, be my guest. I believe members of the Flat Earth Society are absurd. | |

That doesn't mean questions surrounding it are intelligent or rational. | |

| I do believe that black cats crossing your path and walking under ladders are bad luck. I also don't believe in cutting a babies hair before they turn three. | |

| Black cats are only considered bad luck in America, in England they're good luck and it's white cats you have to be weary for. Then there are some countries in which multi-colored cats are the oncoming bearers of bad news.
But I don't get the whole point in it, especially today when we know that cats, black cats especialy, are not witches' aids, so would you care to enlighten us on why you believe that one? And what's the deal with not cutting a kid's hair for 3 years? | |
