magic (Read 9594 times)

Shar_P._Chris Novicius Offline I love Slinging.org! Posts: 1	magic Sep 25^th, 2005 at 1:39pm i do realise that this could possibly become controversial, so if you find it strange please do not be offended. I am interested to see if anyone has ever tried something like magic, especially if it worked, and what happened. Thank you.

Magic, however, is only one aspect of these beliefs. If no one would mindi could talk about it, or Shar, i would be happy to give you my Email.

It was a pipe with one end open and ice cold water in it. I swung it at some pool guy who didn't like me and ran away.

It would be neat to have a job as a magician if you could actually be paid for it.

Ayla didn't think she really died, but the other people thought she did. I have a good quote from a book that shows a bit af magic. I'll post it tomorrow when I have a little more time.

There is natural magic, but anyone who believes that a particular sequence of words can have a magical effect is missing the point. It's down to belief.

I believe those are magical words, CA.....

Arthur C. Clarke said something to the effect:

"Any technology sufficiently advanced beyond our own, would be indistinguishable from magic."

And there's no shortage of gullible minions to swallow up all sorts of 'magic' these days......

Preferring short term gratification.... in effect, to trade their inheritance for a bowl of red soup.

[quote]The Bible says something to the effect that we strive not against flesh but the powers and principalities[/quote]

Powers and principalities are actually hierachies of angels, so not entirely sure why you'd be striving against them. Although old testament angels aren't beings you'd want to mess with - goes right along side the 'eye for an eye' mentality.
Hard buggers them old testament boys :-)
