How can you be into something that doesn't exist?

Actually, there are several dozen different "gods" out there. Even speaking on a strictly monotheistic basis, there are at least three. Yahweh for Jews, God for Christians, and Allah for Muslims. Unless, like many, you believe that these are all one in the same.

Regardless, stating things like "Do you believe in God?" and "There's only one!" is just evoking more religion talk, something that was strictly talked against in the OP.

I agree that we should be careful of steering this towards religion, so I'll stop here. I just wanted to make the clarification above in bold.

Stop taking things so seriously! This is OT. A place to be fun, not serious.

You must have missed these posts by the OP from earlier. Just don't bring religion into it. Simple as that. I'm all for having fun, especially in OT, ha. Just saying.

I didn't even read the first part of what you said honestly, because the first line in OP was don't do exactly what you just did. Shame on you.

I'm not going to tell you who I think runs it, because my belief is similar to yours. Now if you have any bit of intelligence left in your head, you will understand what I am saying to you, and anyone else for that matter.

If you've had an experienced paranormal, please share. If not, get the fuck out man.

ANYWAYS. Back to spooky stuff. The only thing that's ever happened to me that I can recall happened when I was living in Miami about a year or so ago. I lived in a condo at the time by myself and was watching tv in my living room at around 9:00 at night. The doors that I had were the kind that had the shocks on the top that would slow them down before closing, and they were virtually impossible to slam. The A/C was off at the moment, and there weren't any windows or doors to the outside open either. All of a sudden, the door to my bedroom just slams shut. I've seen way too many horror movies to stick around, so I just grabbed my keys and wallet, put some shoes on, audibly said something to the effect of, "Nope. You can have the condo for the night," walked outside, locked my door, and drove over to a friend's place for the night. Never had anything weird or creepy happen before that instance, and never had anything happen afterwards. Really freaked me out, though.

That shit always scares me, but for me I have a reasonable explanation. Like a window open or the A/C just kicked on. Scares the bajesus out of me every time.

How many believe animals can see things?

I have seen pretty strong evidence that they can see things.

No way animals can see things...

To be fair, I have not yet ruled out sonar and/or esp.

It's in the name of science.

Also, it's for their own benefit. They are severely lacking the types of predators and threats that they have in the wild. So I have to make sure their survival instincts do not atrophy...

...by throwing small catnip filled bean bags at them when they are attempting to balance on things. My cats have an impressive amount of combat awareness.

Do you plan on leaving your cats stranded in the wilderness or something??? Cats are pets! Pets are to be loved and spoiled to their hearts content.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. I sleep soundly at night knowing that my cats, if left to their own devices, will be able to survive.

Survive is a strong word. I'm confident they will avoid 90% of all beanbags thrown at them.
