The god of the gap? No. I believe in proof and evidence, and once you have that it’s not supernatural anymore. Isn’t the real world interesting enough?

I believe there are lots of naturally super things

No

I wish it were true, but no, not really.

i’ve seen things i cannot give a fully scientific explanation to why they happened, and i believe there are things that are not currently explainable by current science. however i don’t take the explanations currently given by most religious, esoteric and magick groups at face value, and more so in their vision of how a society is to be shaped.

I can move things with the Power of My Mind

I know that we have, throughout history, assigned unknowns as supernatural occurrences.

And I don’t think we know everything yet.

So yes? That doesn’t mean the supernatural things are supernatural., just that they exist, we don’t understand them yet.

If “supernatural things” were to exist, they would be part of nature and therefore natural by definition.

No lol. Belief in the supernatural in any form is un-Marxist.

Whether that’s angels and demons and deities, witches and ghosts, or astrology and healing crystals. It is a virtue to have a completely Materialist worldview.

Now that almost everyone on planet earth has a small camera with them at all times, it would have been really cool to have discovered some supernatural stuff, be it ghosts, Big Foot, Nessie, whatever (and someone still might, who knows?), but instead all we get is police brutality. 🙁

Sometimes, (more often lately) I wish I did believe in that stuff or that they did exist because it would make me feel a whole lot better about the way the world is now, vs just greedy and shitty people doing greedy and selfish or malicious things to others for greedy, selfish, and malicious reasons. The existence of a physical manifestation of evil and it’s ability to influence others would at least make the world make more sense sometimes. I want there to be more good in the world and it feels rotten to think that the reason there isn’t there are just shitty people manipulating us or harming us and getting away with it vs some force of nature.

But, I am sadly not that person, I don’t believe in that stuff. I am open to it should it be presented to me but for now, I have no evidence of it.

There are two unexplained phenomena that I currently believe in (but either could change at any time - by being explained or by being shown not to exist.)
They are dark matter and dark energy.

But ghosts and stuff? Certainly not.

I work in 911 dispatch, and it absolutely feels like on and around a full moon our calls get weirder

We’re not necessarily getting more or more serious calls than average, so it’s kind of hard to point to any measurable statistic that would back up that assertion, and it’s not just people with psych issues calling and ranting at us, so you can’t even just go by mentions of callers “rambling” or “not making sense” in the notes of our calls, a lot of them are just bizarre situations that seem really unlikely or convoluted.

I’m kind of loath to label it as supernatural though. I feel like if there is actually a correlation and not just confirmation bias on my part, it probably has some reasonable scientific explanation.

What does it really mean to be supernatural? What’s the difference between, say, a ghost and dark matter? We don’t really know what either one is. Is it that we can reliably find evidence of dark matter, even if we don’t know what it is, so it’s not “super” anymore? It seems to me that “supernatural” is just a name for the ones we don’t actually believe in.

No.
