You do not believe in anything that doesn't have scientific facts behind it. You believe that you have to experience something yourself in order to have faith in it, and as you haven't experienced any paranormal events you are a strict non-believer. You think that luck or fluke are at the heart of most 'supernatural events' and you believe the rest are complete fakes.

Sounds about right..

You have scored 31 points! You are a:
MILD SCEPTIC
You find it hard to believe in the paranormal and you have doubts behind the reliability of many sources. You think that most stories are scams and you don't like to waste your time thinking about them. You are not superstitious and you like to believe that there is a scientific answer behind most things.

I am mildly sceptical that there is any truth to this! smile

But I would not say crossing over should be banned, it is just a stupid waste of time like all the pother paranormal shows. Like Ghost Lab that flat fakes things (but then pretends to debunk other things to give them some credibility).

But the description is not accurate at all it is confusing belief in a ghosts with faith in God.

The poll doesn't address in any way belief in God or Religion. What goes over my head is how a person can be a steadfast atheist and then believe these kinds of things. Kind of shows that people often choose what they want to believe in.

The reverse applies also i.e. how can you be a steadfast beleiver in god yet dismiss stuff like this? As you say, kind of shows that people often choose what they want to believe in.

I did this test when he first put that website up although I was bit unimpressed by the TV series, although I agree with the motive he seems to be running short of making impressive television now. What a damp squib ending.

Anyway I obviously ranked a firm believer in the paranormal. Palm reading, psycic Ghosties who came down in UFOs are genuine I tell ya!

This is just another example that we all have a "God Hunger" and those of us who don't believe in the one true God, will try to fill the void in other ways! In fact, this is just additional proof that God exists...for He gave humans this God hunger....unfortunately not everyone recognizes it as such!

Believing in God IS just one other way to fill the void. It isn t better or worse than any other ways.

How can hunger be proof of anything? It s just a feeling but it s your belief that God put it there, it s not a fact so your statement is illogical.

How about BEING the void and leaving it at that. Only then can God or Reality be experienced. Belief about the void is a screen that will actually prevent you from experiencing God/Reality.

The enemy is not the other, the enemy is you.

Well, obviously thats a nonsensical statement.

But what I want to know is where all these paranormal loving atheists are? I do not know, and never have, a single athesit who buys into that kind of crap.
