    Oh dear, dont start DH'ing on me - not answering questions, and instead asking questions of the questions asked.

     Alright let me have a go...

    Lets take a paranormal event x, that cannot be explained by y.  Because of that we assume p is made of q.  The leap of faith is assuming the 2 statements above are intrinsically linked.  Relgionists do the same thing too..


    I shall invoke Voltaire's maxim again and ask you to define 'paranormal'.

    "transcendent" is a cool word to mask supernatural as a technical and respectable concept.

    There is no object of worship except panties.

    We must implement the doctrine of pantheism by deception or by coercion.

    Where the ladies at?

    I have evidence for pantheism.

    I can sniff panties. "Mmmm goood..."

    Ok in that case, to the best of my knowledge, I have never experienced a paranormal event.

    "Transcending reality" is a phrase that has the same problem as the word 'supernatural' - it means nothing.

    so whatever you experienced could be explained 'rationally' - so why the need for this pantheistic leap of faith?

    Ok well I will stop you at 'cannot be explained by y'. I fully believe it can be explained by nature. I don't have the explanation... but I didn't claim, or expected, to have it.

    Long story short - it's an approach, not a belief. God does not exist outside of abstraction - he is a philosophical construct. To define God is to create God.

    A man once asked a famous Zen master what happens when we die.

    The master answered, "I don't know."

    "What do you mean, you don't know?" the man replied angrily, "aren't you a famous Zen Master?"

    "Yes", said the master, "but I'm not a dead one."
    Too fucking busy, and vice versa.
