In some ways we are similar in that I accept peoples subjective expereinces but I dont allways agree with the assumptions that are made about these personal events. Least I think thats what you feel too. My asumptions are just that.
Where possible I like to cross check and accept that somtimes that is just not possible. If there is scientific evidence thats helpfull but not definite confirmation.
Basically I believe what Jesus said. "Even the wisest of my disciples will enter the kingdom of heaven by faith alone" Faith in God is absolute with me.
Anyway wishing you all the best.

I still mean every word of that "Be careful not to be gullible" post by the way. It was sincere. Also, I find it ironic that so many people accuse me of being indoctrinated (while knowing thing about me, ie: assumptions) yet I can look around this forum (and others) and find THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of really weird, wacky and far out statements and even assertions which are written in a forum as though it is just plain fact. Much of the time, in my humble opinion, what is being written is completely and utterly laughable (ie: COMPLETE garbage) and I have to scratch my head and think REAL hard about whether someone is having a "laugh" or not. It is sad, that mich of the time people are dead serious.
I do believe that people, as a whole, typically feel as though the HAVE to be the one that can provide an answer to something. Even if people don't know, they'll "have a stab at it" (in case they might be proven to be right at a later date). You'll notice that with me, I do CATEGORICALLY state what I believe, but I will rarely present it as plain out fact, or persecute anyone that doesn't say: "Oh yes sir. Yes master, You are right. I believe exactly as you say", or demand that anyone accept it. I just wish to share it.
I am a sincere person, but I am also very serious. I can joke too. I have a sense of humor - but I think that people really need to step back from trying to explain everything and just describe the experiences the best way they can. There's nothing wrong with an experience being "unexplainable".
I think too many people think to themselves: "Oh, if I don't insert the word "alien" here and "grey" there, no one will be interested". MOST peoples experiences have been revised for public consumption, lest no one be interested. I 100% believe that. I think people should just try to be honest and give us the raw version of their experiences. Let everyone decide for themselves, because if thereis useful information, it can get lost in the wrapping and ribbons.
