We we all know, there is a group called the "Skeptical Non-Believers of Uppity Annoyingness". They gather together and discuss matters they are sceptical about.

There is also people trying to form a group for believers...

I'm forming my own group- we tend to believe in the supernatural, but we don't blindly believe everything we see, hear, read, or touch. We look for facts to support our belief in various things.

I am currently in the process of writing a manifesto detailing our mission. I will post this as soon as I'm able.

We also have three members at the time of this post:

Stewey1972- Founder and High Grand Master;
Me_Again- Co-Founder and High Grand Mistress;
Draco5832000- Deaconess of Space and Cryptids.

The Deacon/Deaconess titles just denote the member's primary interests, since you are all more than welcome to discuss others topics.
Kismit

*bangs head on table *


Disclaimer : allthough Stewey appears to be a very nice gentleman . I was not actually refering to him as some kind of Diety .

MichaelS

Kismit





I'll jihad you Vellikovsky ..... disgust.gif
Unorthodox Thesis
thats funny. Hey, Stewey1972, I know we had our share of arguments
in the past, but why don't we put that behind us, and call it truths. ok?
I like this new group you're creating; and if its ok, I'd like to join.
As long as we stick to the facts, but still be open to the supernatural,
I'm in! (as long as the rules of this group are't too strict) Now, I'm
not a skeptic, but I'll post a skeptical comment wherever it is neccesary.
I might even defend the other skeptical posts as long as they're not
attacking God or something.

*Snuffs streaks naked throught the meeting place* Now you have an unexplained mystery to think about tongue.gif

I believe in giants. That's the whole reason I came to UM in the first place lol. Someone was talking about giants somewhere around the time Art Bell stopped his regular show and I was looking for a better community than the one there.
But not many believe in giants. disgust.gif
But, UM is a riot to read, and educational, and frustrating, can bring introspection. I came to read about the unexplained mysteries, not explain them.
I'm a believer. Then I saw her face. whistling2.gif no doubt in my mind whistling2.gif
sometimes I shouldn't hit that reply button, definately.
Velikovsky
I couldn't wait anymore.
I formed a splinter group without ever joining in the first place.

Kismit will you be my first member? wub.gif
you get your own banner grin2.gif
Kismit
Lol I can't , the apfelshnaps is in my blood , literally it's soaked right through my liver ... huh.gif

I know thats why I'm here thumbsup.gif

Norman, you're more than welcome to join.

The only serious rules are as fol:

1. Be respectful of others beliefs (no flaming);

2. Consider all the facts before reaching a conclusion; and

3. Don't discount a source simply because it goes against your own beliefs... truth can be found in the oddest places.

Alice- I hereby decree you to be an Honourary Deaconess of the Loyal and Devout Church of Sceptical Believers!

It is strange that many guys lately have enjoyed my nakedness.

I shall be remaining naked, however, because of popular demand. devil.gif
Velikovsky
Snuffs it's not really popular demand, it's just the whole freak show aspect. laugh.gif

Now Snuffs,you know you are not allowed to run around in other groups threads naked...it gets me too excited and we have to dash back to a flirting thread or your lair.

Come on Snuffs,leave the nice Loyals alone. devil.gif laugh.gif
Velikovsky
Celumnaz I was just wondering are you talking about giants in a biblical sense or just giants in general?

Hi All original.gif
I thought I needed to put my two cents in, seeing that I AM a founder wub.gif
Really no need for you to contribute...really...we don't need any monetary donations laugh.gif Unless you want to pay Snuffy original.gif

Believing to me is a continuing experience. When I was younger, I would've never
believed that I'd grow to like onions and now I do tongue.gif
What I strongly believe in is LOVE and with that all things are possible; However,
I am finding it hard to love flying chupas but that may come in time thumbsup.gif
MichaelS
Snuffy- You're more than welcomed here... just... ummmm... keep your pants on- for the sanity of the members here, eh? tongue.gif

Beliefs change every day as we learn and experience more and more things. Sometimes, it helps to open our minds to new possibilities... and other times, closes it to parts of reality.

Nothing wrong with Flying Chupas... as long as they're not doing their "goat sucking" thing...
Velikovsky
Devout ones, war has been declared.
as your unofficial splinter group i raise a call to arms.
The Uppity ones must pay.
MichaelS
Velikovksy- I agree... a $3.00 cover charge should be sufficient, eh (a naked Snuffy must pay $5.00 however)? laugh.gif

LOL. At least I'm not involved in a Jihad right now with another group. LOL
Velikovsky
Hey we were peaceful until they attacked. grin2.gif
MichaelS
I think it was the coffee talking through Dot. LOL
Velikovsky
She denied me cookies. There's no excuse for that grin2.gif
MichaelS
Come share in ours. original.gif

*offers a plate of cookies*
Velikovsky
Did you know Jim Jones?

I'm offering cookies... not Kool-aid... disgust.gif

what no Kool-aid, what if I get thirsty laugh.gif
anyways churches always have kool-aid to go with their cookies.
MichaelS
I don't offer Kool-aid since I don't want any comparisons to Jonestown. I do however offer pop, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and juice boxes. original.gif
Velikovsky
*steals the cookies, drinks the coffee and runs out the back door*
AliceCoopersGirl
Oh Stewey,your cookies and milk are all gone...here have some on me.

not if there can be a jihad of science
Velikovsky
evil evil moe
take your uppity annoyingness and go home
for the devout ones shall offer you cookies
and the Loyalists shall steal them from you.

and why can't there be a Jihad of Science, simply a holy war of science.
as many might say science is a faith as well.
but with your moeyness I shall expect no more than elephant stories.
hah!
moe eubleck
sticks and stones, love.

QUOTE

AliceCoopersGirl
