A noun is anything that you can see, feel or touch, is it not? Do you believe that a table(noun) for example exists?
Secondly, I didn't say no nouns exist, merely that certain nouns can be philosophically brought into question, as regards their ontology.

I see a future for you in politics .. or maybe the law.
Whatever you do, never consider that you may be wrong .. about anything.
You're a star, man.

Are we back to evil again? If so, I guess they're raving about the same imaginary forces that other theists rave about.
You should come over to Africa sometime and check out the awesome power that our Zulu sangomas have.
Originally posted by PhuzudakaI don't believe that magic exists, the supernatural, god, occult, paranormal etc. all nonsense. By parsimony alone you are either operating under a self-convincing delusion, hallucinating, or possibly even lying.

Have you ever been involved in witchcraft?
Originally posted by PhuzudakaLol, beliefs are all any of us have. I don't expect my belief to be a reason for something not existing, I form my belief because I see reason to do so.

Witchcraft is smoke and mirrors, you should try living in the real world. Do you think David Copperfield is a witch, or just an entertainer?

Are you sucking that our of your thumb or are you an ex-witchdoctor? You don't have a coocking clue what witchcraft is all about. Your knowledge of the Occult is appauling to say the least.
Originally posted by PhuzudakaHe clearly stated that he does not believe in magic. He therefore could not possibly believe that he has been involved in witchcraft as that would require him to believe in magic.

I am in Africa and I have heard a few vague stories of witchcraft but have never witnessed any. The fact that most of those I have heard of that profess to practice it are poor indicates that it is not very effective.
I had a friend whose father was a witch-doctor but when his children got sick he took them to the hospital!
