I believe in the intelligent use of the english language to make my point. Would you care to join my Evangelistic Association for Correct Spelling and Grammar?

No?

Goodbye, then.

Isn't magick just an older term? Or occultic?

Anyway, I do believe in the supernatural, no question: both good and evil.

Of course I believe in ufo's. Ufo stands for Unidentified Flying Object, and naturally there must be things seen in the skies occasionally that one cannot identify. As for extraterrestrial life, I believe in it, but whether it's ever visited here, I wouldn't be surprised if it were proven, but I'm not holding my breath. As for magick, ehh, I think the human spirit is an amazing thing, and if one believes in something strongly enough, he can achieve some amazing things. Man clothes his indomitable faith in his own potential in myriad forms: it may be religion, it may be magick, it may be rock n' roll. Whatever works.

I like what Arthur C Clarke says about magic (hey I think I spelt it right!): Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
So it might seem like magic to us, but only because we can't work out how it works.
I see a lot of men in black. I don't know why people think that dressing all in black is fashionable. Oh well.
I saw an Unidentified Flying Object once. It turned out to be a balloon. Most other UFO sightings have the same mundane explanation I think.

I've seen them!! I've seen the men in black!!

They were at this weird religious ceremony (christian I think).....dozens of men in black. They all looked so sombre and grim. They even buried an ornate box deep in the ground (about 6ft I'd guess)......what could be in that box? Mysteries too deep for this lil' rabbit methinks

or ufo's or things like that?
Again, many times have I seen ufo's.......but just because I couldn't identify it, no-one would verify that it was an alien (maybe it was just an airplane, satellite or trick played by my imagination)...

The Truth is out There.........but the lies are in your head

both "ic" and "ik" are correct if one goes back in literature as is "wicca" corrupted at one time as "witch".
....oh and yep, it's real.

I generally define magic as something that has no logical or scientific explanation (miracles fall into this category too). And no, I don't believe in it. Everything has an explanation. Without an explanation it could not exist, could it? Although if somebody could prove to me that unexplanatory things exist, I would be quite pleased.... Anyway, Unidentified Flying Objects, well, they occur, yes. I believe in extra-terrestrial live, don't believe it has visited Earth, but would be overjoyed if it happened. Hmmm, what else.... fate, no, God, no, men in black, I could count my dad into that category at times, so yes.....

That is actually incorrect. Technonogy operates by the exploitation of the wa natural forces work. Magic is the use of supernatural forces to control, stop, or otherwise interfere with nature.

I've seen a man in black several times... in my mirror, for instance.

I did once see some federal agents who were dressed in traditional man in black fashion, shades and everything. That was amusing at the time.

Fine then. they can eat you first. Or whatever... */cuts off that line of thinking/*

If I may ask... why are you so eager to see aliens on earth?

Magic and UFO's are real. You ready for the sarcastic explantion? Here goes: I see a plane flying in the sky and I don't know what it's name is. An Unidentified(I don't know what the planes called) Flying(it's sure not walking) Object(that could be almost anything that excists)

If I am correct, there are basically 2 kinds of "aliens" people believe in. The first is the conquerer/man eater etc variety. The second is an advanced, Utopian, "perfect" species.

And which you believe in is dependant on which moveis you believed, right?

LOL! Hmm, don't remember any movies with "good guy" aliens. I think they were actually originally a hippie thing.

DUH! I forgot ET! Never heard of the other, though.

But anyway, normally I think the "perfect" aliens are greys.

Men In Black was just a movie.are you sure you didn't jsut see some Johovah Wittnesses?
I don't belive in aliens but i do belive there are unidentified flying objects. we took some straws,birthday candles and a trash bag and made a hot air balloon. if any body saw that they wouldn't be able to identify it. so it would be a UFO.
as far as magic goes, there are people who do witchcraft. I know someone who knows a witch. not the classic broom flying kind. i also know someone who knows someone that used to do all that stuff and then she read Harry Potter and said the spells and stuff in there were real. i'm not sure if that's true or not but it could be.
if you mean david Copperfield magic, i don't belive that's real and neither does he cause he always says it's not.
