Hey Pandas, What’s A Weird Belief You Stand By? (Closed)

The Rainbow Bridge is real and all of my deceased pets are waiting for me on the other side of it. I don't believe in Heaven, spirits, ghosts, "energy" etc., nor am I religious nor do I have any "conventional" faith/belief in "the afterlife".

However, the Rainbow Bridge exists, all of my dead pets are waiting for me on the other side, and everyone else's dead pets are over there too. They all get to play together (everyone gets along!); there's a billion trees, fire hydrants, and posts to sniff, a billion cat trees/perches, etc. and pretend mice and birds for the cats to pounce/chase. XD And tennis balls. An endless supply of tennis balls.

Don't know if it's weird, but certainly argued lately.

Religious fanaticism is the basis for MOST issues in the world. While I'm not religious, I understand people finding need in a higher power - doesn't bother me what you believe in.

It's when religions will not recognize others' beliefs that all hell breaks loose.

Or when religions try to dictate every iota of what happens in that country that have nothing to do with religion.

Religion as a whole, sucks.

Not really a weird belief (at least not to me). I believe that friendships you make online through videogames are often more real than some friendships made in real life.

Example: I made a friend playing an online game. The friendship she and I share has been going strong for more than 10 years. We've never met IRL (only videochat a few times to say Happy Birthday or Merry Christmas Etc).
All of my long term friends IRL, I have lost contact with or they've just stopped communicating. The one that hurts is a friend from highschool who was at my wedding, Ghosted me completely after sending an invite, then their partner rescinded it.

Online Friendships are valid and sometimes more so than people you know IRL.

I practice non-transactional kindness. I will help you because I hope to be an example for my children and others. I will do my best to I practice gratitude and I try to bring a little light into this f.u.c.k.e.d up, ugly a.s.s world. So many people out there only for themselves. They won't lift a finger unless they can some how benefit from it. People who are cruel with their words and speech. Who enjoy inflicting pain on others. I have my days where a smile can be a struggle; but I read a study somewhere that found that, when asked, a surprising number of people with mental health struggles let go of "self ending" thoughts because of a single smile/kindness from a stranger. It got them through that moment. So... I smile. I laugh. I help. I firmly believe people like me were put here to help counter the hateful bulls.h.i.t. and show others that kindness still exists. ( yes, I fail. All the time. I'm human. As much as this might paint me a saint or what- have- you, I am far from it. It can be a challenge. Just don't give up. Kindness will become habit and you'll believe in it the way I do as well. )

I'll probably sound like a conspiracy theorist, but I truly believe that the existence of extraterrestial life is being hid from us. Do I think we have been visited/contacted? Maybe, maybe not. I have no proof, but it just makes sense considering how things are hidden by governments daily.

That characters in books written by man and that have plunged the world's nations into war for millennia are in fact fictitious.

1. "What can happen, will happen."

2. Multiverse.

I believe that love never dies. That even if someone dies that love is still there out in the world making it a better place. Forever. And it is what keeps things even when so much bad seems to be everywhere.

That if it looks like it can rain that day and I do not bring my umbrella it will rain and I will get soaked. But if I bring it, it won't rain until I am indoors.

Humans aren't smarter than other species. Bit by bit we learn they name each other, mourn each other, make friends with other species when not living on the edge of starvation, sometimes even when they are. They use tools. What we have is thumbs. The ability to build.
We have been using that as a measurement of "civilization" and "progress" ever since. The savages who don't have stone or concrete buildings? Metal tools, heaps of clothing?
We then tell ourselves tales of beings who invented the universe all for us and us alone. We are unable to tell the difference between any scam and religion. We mock past people for their beliefs and yet can't see ours are not much different. crystals, astrology, cults, mainstream religion. Only humans fight wars over religion, only humans separate their own species into "worthy" groups and "inferior" groups.

That if I sit on the lefthand side of the plane and look out of the window all the way through takeoff until we've got airborne then we'll have a safe flight.

Mushrooms and fungi will be our saviour, the mushroom will inherit the Earth.

That the airborne weaponized smallpox that's been in storage since the Cold War will wipe out half of humanity.

Earth is going out of it axis. Why? Developed countries move millions of tons of weight (concrete, iron, others) from poor countries to rich ones. For example, all the material needed to house all the people in China, India, Tokyo and other countries around or nearby Asia. Think as the earth as an orange. Roll the orange in the floor. Now add some weigh somewhere in the orange. A pin or nail and roll it again. It will shift. Scientists say that the changes that we do around the earth crust (digging, exploding, moving) is not enough to cause a change. But I believe that it does. And it does scary me.

I believe the electronic transistor was developed from technology found in the alien spacecraft that crashed near Roswell, New Mexico. The crash happened in July 1947. The first transistor was demonstrated just five months later in December 1947. Interesting coincidence of timing, wasn’t it?

If you look at a man hands you a good idea of the size of his dong.
