The really sad part is that some of the things you assert MAY be true, but your reputation precedes you, causing folk to disbelieve your claims. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which makes for an interesting question as to WHY some people cant believe any of it . BUT when people stop at simply saying they don't believe me that is fine However such a statement reflects on them and properties of their mind, so to take the onus from their disbelief, they often feel the need to go and and try and justify or validate WHY they don't believe, and that soon leads them into attacking my character. Kinda circular. " I dont believe you coz your'e a liar. How do i know you're a liar? Because you tell lies. The things you talk about are impossible " and yet i don't, and the y are possible, and all actually happened. That is just (some) readers choosing to disbelieve me, then constructing a reason WHY they chose to disbelieve, to validate their choice and, maybe, to avoid having to think what it means if i am truth telling Edited March 11, 2019 by Mr Walker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I cant know for certain but a lot of clues tell me your pleasant exterior hides a rather difernt inner self Some toughness is not surprising given your childhood, nor is a tendency to hide your inner angst from public view. But either you are so trapped in your own world view that you can not see beyond it, or you deliberately manufacture misunderstandings in your own mind about people who are unlike yourself and then state them publicly, as if they were true Eg "Oh mr walker makes up a relationship with god. That is because he is needy, or damaged by his abusive upbringing. Clearly its made up because all of us educated people know tha god is not real, don't we" Again, you are not making any sense, once again you have sought me out to rant and rail at. You are paranoid and irrational, try breathing, you are emotionally out of control right now. I am not interested in anything but a peaceful dialog.

(IMO) You need control and certainty in your life, very badly, and so you create it inside your mind, even when it doesn't actually exist, and insist on it in your real life. Thus you avoid difficult and challenging scenarios such as your relationship with your mother and oyur sister (and possibly, although this is only a guess, with your first husband) and keep your children home for schooling so you aren't faced withe uncertainties raised by public schooling, and the values it might instil OF course you raised your boys without conflict because conflict of any kind is an anathema to be avoided at any cost Youhad more tha enough of it as a young child Now, I wouldn't usually make such personal observations about a person but you've been doing it to me for over a decade, and constantly getting it wrong.

You are a one-trick pony. Any reasonable person might enquire why you want to argue what you already "know". Simply put, you are not nearly as confident as the façade you present. Nor are any of your ilk ! I've posted in the past where there are hundreds of witnesses to some miracle. Often this is happening in the 3rd world though, and so apparently they are bad witnesses.... people will say, "That happened in Africa, or India? We can dismiss it then...." I believe Revelations mentions that some ("many" I think it says) will not believe even when they do see Jesus return. Even when confronted with repeating miraculous events, the will continue to close their eyes and say, "No, no, no....". I do see their point that miracles are not reproducible in a lab environment, so technically every one of those hundred corroborating stories are anecdotal. But, to some primed to believe, that is just about as good of evidence as witnessing it yourself. Edited March 11, 2019 by DieChecker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That WAS on topic Sherapy. it goes to why some people claim not to accept anecdotal narratives, yet actually do so, when that narrative does not conflict with their own beliefs or opinions They only choose disbelief of a narrative when the claim or story line is unacceptable or unbelievable to them . Thus, despite what some might say, no one will dispute a claim that i have a concrete gnome in my garden, while they would dispute a claim that a real one also lived there. Both are anecdotes. There is no evidence for either, yet one is usually simply accepted as true, while the other is rejected.

True, and I choose to disbelieve you, because you provide no evidence. Attend: Who is "Mr Walker"? Who is "Jodie Lynne"? A faceless screen name on a public internet forum. Why should anyone believe the claims that you, or I, or anyone else makes on the internet, without some evidence to back it up or support the claims? The default position should be to abstain from believing outrageous claims, until evidence supports the claim. Taking a non-personal example. The Nigerian Prince scam. You've heard of it? Because of its notoriety, I doubt many people on these forums would fall for it. However, there ARE gullible (and greedy) people out in the world who HAVE fallen for this scam. Why? Because they are either gullible, naïve, or greedy. Or a combination of the three. The victims "believed" without evidence.

"Those who are primed to believe..." This statement is probably the truest ever made on these forums. If one is a believer in alien abduction stories, they are primed. They will goggle open mouthed at any claim of the people claiming to have been snatched by E.T., as they nod their head screaming "YES! IT's twue! It's twue!" The same attitude is displayed by those that believe in ghosts, Loch ness monsters, Atlantis, or any other phenomena, including gods. Any tale, no matter how far-fetched, is grabbed onto with the fervor of a drowning man to a life preserver, regardless of the source of the tale. And anything that denies the existence of a person's belief in a thing, is dismissed as 'conspiracy', or "denial of the obvious by the sheeple", or some other defensive technique. And maybe, non-believers have the same tendency in that they are "primed to disbelieve". However, I think many in the non-belief crowd, are at least open to these ideas, if the evidence clearly supports such ideas. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I believe he was acting like an idiot As i said, in Australia this is almost an endearment for a person who is acting so strangely that you u cant be sure if he is serious or role playing eg "geez you are an idiot " No one particularly said that. It was an illustrative example but many have said basically exactly the same thing This includes psyche for one and numerous lesser lights of the forum. Sherapy also implies it but couches her words as concern, suggesting i have needs or damage which causes me to be like this and could be cured The underlying belief is that god's, angels, etc do not exist so that i MUST be wrong in my stories Others say they do not believe a word i say about anything :) Third eye, when he is comprehensible, says the same No evasions. No strawmen. If you want to, then challenge me on any point where you think I am being evasive or offering a straw man. I will be open and honest. But then you must chose to believe that I am being open and honest I find it interesting that some accuse me of being too blunt, too direct, and not tactful enough, while you see it as evasion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belief has no connection to evidences it must be constructed where there are no evidences You chose to disbelieve because, for you, disbelief is more comfortable, reasonable, or logical, and you have no reasons TO believe. Indeed we should not believe, but neither should our automatic default be to disbelieve Ah but i make no outrageous claims. I simply tell true things which have happened to me. You FIND them to be outrageous, and so you chose to disbelieve. I have no interest in scams or what the y offer. Of course i am aware of both the old and the new scams practised on line My brother in law runs workshops to keep people informed of the latest online scams But even if i wasn't they would not affect me as the y offer me nothing i need or want. if i gave you convincing evidences then you would not be believing me, you would KNOW i was telling the truth You cannot know and believe at the same time The point is why you choose to either believe or disbelieve, when there ARE no evidences and, more significantly, what drives you to that choice. Are you saying you believe in nothing unless there are convincing evidences that can be shown to you? In other words you actually don't believe in anything at all?

You don't get the difference bet wen active disbelief and simply NOT believing While you have no reason to believe without evidences, you equally have no reasons NOT to believe So why chose disbelief ? So your definition of outrageous is any claim which falls outside your own or common experience? You must find a lot of claims outrageous Your home ? Absolutely believable . I would need more background detail. I would neither believe nor disbelieve your story. Not asking you to believe my stories, just suggesting you do not disbelieve them. (you really have no evidences or good reasons for disbelieving any but the most unusual and even there you dont have any evidences that I am not telling the truth) (and will never be able to obtain such evidences because every story is true) Because every story is a as true as i can make it, if you disbelieve them you are in error. I have knowledge of the law of gravity from personal experience, thus i can neither believe in its existence nor disbelieve in it, I cant believe i had a mother or father either because i know i did That is my point. Belief/disbelief cannot co-exist with knowing Evidence is required for knowldge but no evidence is required for belief. Humans evolved the abilty to believe, and construct beliefs, in order to deal with situations where we could not KNOW.
