doublepost?'Net connection makes me think that I only clicked once sometimes. My bad.
I voted yes, because the human digestive system has a large surface area that is designed to let water (among other things) in, and the skin doesn't have that specialised equipment.
I'd be surprised if anybody could figure out what's going on.
If I am not mistaken... the creature in the first frame thought by pulling the level it would collapse the supports, but this instead opened a pit with a monster in it?
I used to read up on this kind of stuff (along with "How to communicate with the dead/angels/demons". Sadly, my religion doesn't allow me to dabble in that kind of thing.
Thanks.I may try again some day... But I'll have to go to great lengths to achieve the dream recall, attention and awareness that I had at the time when the projection or whatever it was occurred. It seems that mental fitness I had is a requirement or at least catalyst. All sorts of mental exercises and stuff... Never did replicate that mode successfully again.
Too bad about the restriction though! Are you sure they wouldn't like you to at least fly your soul around a bit to add experiential support to the idea that the soul is eternal and not dependent on the body?Okay I'm just thinking wishfully, I really don't think a lot of religions would be very gung ho about astral projection no matter how it's put.
I have never heard a story of a pirate stranded on a desert island or run out of water on his pirate ship surviving by dangling his legs in the water.
So I voted Yes.

Good luck though. OM NOM NOM NOM NOM!!! *Takes a bite of some Long Pork* mmmmm tasty
I have gotten my parents into conversations about the oncoming Z day and we have decided that we should be pretty well prepared for it as long as it isn't airborne and is only fluids transfer that causes conversion. We live on a farm and have enough renewable food sources at our disposal (not to mention a vast armory and the ability to make our own ammo in somewhat limited numbers) our chances of surviving is pretty high.
So, everyone who want to live, come on down here! I got two survivalists living next door and at least 20 shotguns in a 20 mile radius.
People seem interested in having a religious discussion, but we seem to lack a place for it right now. I like to think I burned myself out on internet religion debates in high school, so I think I can handle this.
Now, for those of you who don't know, atheism threads in the past have become huge megathreads of circular arguments and hatred. Honestly, I won't be surprised if this gets locked eventually. But let's try to have as much good discussion as we can, thanks.
Rules:
- Don't be a dick. Whether religious condemnation or atheistic condescension, we're all prone to it. Try not to do it please. No matter what your religious views, you're not enlightened. You're not smarter than everyone else.
- No flaming. Things here can get personal. If someone's not outright being a troll, step back and maybe think about it a little bit. Respond calmly, basically.
- If you don't understand something, feel free to ask people. Not everyone's going to understand religious views. But ask politely. Things like "How could you possibly believe that?" are breaking rule #1.
- Try to use citations wherever they're relevant. They're not required for things like personal philosophy, but bringing up links and relevant material is rarely a bad thing.
- Try not to rehash the same discussion over and over again. These arguments can get really circular, and a bit of that is inevitable but just try to avoid it if possible.
- Keep past threads out of this if possible. I know we're a small community, and I know you might recognize someone from a past thread, but it really shuts down discussion if someone posts once and they get five people going "Oh, you're that guy. I remember you. You said this dumb thing."
Feel free to make rules suggestions.
