Post 1449 of 1601 Since 10/14/2007	Here is an excellent video regarding the accusation that skeptics are "close-minded" to the supernatural and to woo-based explanations and methods. If you have ever been on either side of one of these conversations, PLEASE watch this video. Seriously. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T69TOuqaqXI&feature=player_embedded

Post 1450 of 1601 Since 10/14/2007	Is it a proselytizational video? Yes. Proselytization for reason, intelligence, sanity, articulation, and general awesomeness

This is what I loved about the Internet, free educational information, of course there is a lot of crap on the net but thanks to the people who make these excellent videos we can understand things a lot better and verify for our self what is B.S. and what is not.

Post 138 of 174 Since 5/22/2008	Great video . Since I have left the witnesses I have become much more scientific in my reasoning. I am willing to accept the supernatural if scientific proof can be provided to me . So far I have seen no proof.

Post 29 of 152 Since 3/28/2009	Where have you looked? I don't think rejecting supernatural explanations per se is closed-minded. Surely the question is what evidence has been adduced to support them?

Post 4981 of 5440 Since 5/16/2006	All you scientists here, explain this: Go to your bathroom and put both toilet seats up. Leave the bathroom and make sure no one else goes in. Go back in 30 mins and see if the toilet seat is still up, or it is down. Do not use the toilet until you open the door and the seat is down, without you or anyone else having put it down. I hope you have nice neighbors. Warlock

Post 2580 of 3240 Since 5/11/2006	Great video. I get so weary of people telling me I should accept the existence of God because THEY experienced "something" they believe confirms his existence. My response -- show me evidence -- always angers them. They just don't get it.
