Do you believe in magic and miracles?

[Parnate]

I strongly believe in magic and miracle. There are many legends of ascetics and saints curing and healing people. I searched for a genuinely powerful person but didn't find one.
Eventually I just gave up all of it, but recently I started worshipping again and hoping to get better. Most importantly I want to win a lottery or get an easier job which pays well.
I want to learn white magic for healing and gaining wealth.

Miracles seem to be improbable events where someone benefits against all odds.
Terminal diagnosis and fully recover.
Attitude does play a role in this.

Wealth...
Hard work, good financial strategy, inherit, invent something I want to buy.

Or start a ponzi scheme..
(bad idea)

I used to believe, but not anymore. If you find that it helps you then great, go for it!!!

 

[indianachrome]

i believe in demons. One is terrorizing my life right now.

 

[Worndown]

Well, our current political situation gives proof of demons. (US)
Germany had some a while ago.
A few other countries found some too.

That is more a lack of restraint than special powers.

No, never, existence to me is just the most terrible mistake that only ever causes all this cruelty, harm and suffering torturing existing beings all for the sake of it, for me the only miracle would be to cease existing and be finally free from this dreadful torturous existence as soon as possible as existence really is the most terrible, dreadful abomination.

There's just so much evil in existing with existing beings tortured in agony every second, there's nothing magical about humans so cruelly deciding to procreate and causing all this terrible cruelty, harm and suffering with no limit as to how much one can be tortured. Existence is just so evil to me and as long as I exist I'll only ever hope for the true permanent peace of non-existence, for me ceasing to exist would be the positive solution to escape from and find peace from the evil, torture cruelty and suffering of existing, I only see beauty in non-existence, it's just so horrific to me how the suffering and torture of existing can continue for decades longer just for one to face the extreme torture of old age.

Define "magic" and "miracles"..... because I'm pretty sure that flight, electricty and even explosives would be considered "magic" in previous years. Of course those examples all have their bases in science, but could not magic and miracles simply be undiscovered scientific principles? For those that are adamant the answer is "no", I urge you to look at quantum theory - 'cause that stuff will keep your mind going in circles with concepts such as particle superposition, teleportation, and dimensional time travel, etc.

So, despite my training, education, and career being in law, I simply can't say that magic and mircacles caterorically do not exist.

 

[Dejected 55]

I don't. It's entertaining as fantasy in stories... and maybe sometimes I wish for things... but I never believe they will happen, because they never do.

I believe in destiny because I've seen it doing strange things with my life. But that doesn't necessarily means that it will turn good for u. I don't think karma or something like that exist. Probably god is making our life very difficult because he wants to test us or something like that. I dont think that praying for yourself will work, i guess it only works if u pray for others

 

[doomedbynarrative]

I believe miracles are rare random chances that occasionally happen that science can explain. And I believe magic is just energy manipulation that ultimately doesn't really do a whole lot directly that science could explain in the future but currently can't.

In a nutshell, it's nothing spectacular.

 

[woodlandcreature]

not anymore i do not. i'm too tired to.

 

[violetforever]

this feels like a good place to admit i believe in the delusion i have that someone is communicating with me through my flickering bathroom light

 

[Arvayn]

I do believe in it, but not in the way that most people think of.

 

[PI3.14]

No, I don't believe in the supernatural and metaphysical stuff.

However, I'm of the belief that if believing in something can help one go through life, then why not? Unless one claims that something is factual, it's not a debate imo.
