Belief Me

I spend most of my time pondering randomly. It doesn't matter if I am at work or at home, I can't stop pondering. Some people might find this habit odd, but honestly I can't help it. Well, over the years I'd like to think my ponderings have led to somewhat successful results. The results hail to beliefs that exist outside my Christian faith. Some of these beliefs may make one say "Huh?" while others will make you say "Hmmm.". Well, whatever you say or think about these beliefs is okay. They are all opinions and I just want to take the time to share them.

• I believe that there this is at least one alternate universe and especially an alternate me out there. : Ok, I know this may sound nerdy and it is apparent to the readers that I enjoy science fiction. I think I mainly hold onto this belief for a feeling of hope. I feel that my life is not what it's supposed to be, so I think about what an alternate me would turn out to be if I made a different choice. Don't get me wrong, I don't envision an alternate Earth that has been taken over by Nazis or anything alarming like that. I just believe that somewhere out there is an Earth just like this with some minor changes (like they had six seasons of "Angel" instead of five). Maybe, the alternate me had more courage and dared himself to ask a girl out, or had the emotional maturity to become close friends with one while he was a teenager. I just hope the alternate me (if he exists) made better choices and is happier. I wish him a lot of luck.
  

  
  

  
  

• Magic: This maybe my weirdest belief, but I honestly think magic exists. I also think that it is possible to learn to use it. The problem with magic is that one has to pay some kind of price to learn the mystic arts. Price in this case is not referring to money exchange. I wish that it would be like one could go to a magical school for a few years, and then you are well endowed in all magical knowledge, but I am afraid this is not so. I believe that one has to give up either their current lifestyle, and maybe isolate themselves from others to gain this knowledge. There might be more stuff involved, but like I said this just a mere belief. I got to thinking about magic and its existence when I read a passage in the Bible. The passage in question can be found in the book of 1^st Samuel (28: 4-25).
  

  
  

• Aliens: This belief is simple for me, since the universe is so vast the chances of there being life among the stars is a real possibility for me. I am not sure if I will go so far to believe that aliens live among us and are secretly breeding with humans to build a human/alien hybrid and thereby making us normal humans obsolete. *Nervous cough* Well, I am not sure where that came from, but back to my main idea. The fact that aliens have not yet contacted us in of no consequence to me. I figure that if the aliens know about us, they either are not interested in contacting us or they are too busy building up their invasion force. Now, as far as the "Roswell Incident" is concerned, I have not yet developed an opinion on that. Sorry, dear readers maybe another time.
  

  
  

• Mystical Creatures: I think creatures like dragons and unicorns have existed or still existed. I think this belief started from me being annoyed at people reasoning, "That if a thing has not been seen then it must not exist." In response to this I usually say, "Well it is not uncommon for one to believe that black holes exist, but no one has seen a black hole."
  

  
  

Well, there you have it, a sample of my odd beliefs. Is that all I have? Well no, but I didn't want to take too long and I didn't want to bore my readers to death. I usually keep these beliefs to myself, but I am not afraid to voice them to people that know me really well, and are willing to listen. I also believe that I am not the only person to have "odd" beliefs. I wish those people well and to keep their head and chin high.
