Loneliness breeds belief in supernatural?

Mmmm....I don't know if that is necessarily true. While yes, I'm a loner type, I've never been "lonely" and as for having beliefs in the metaphysical, supernatural and the like, I've always had those beliefs even as a kid.....so did my mother, grandmother and great-grandmother to a certain extent Also all my life I've had an attachment to my pets...And like I said, even though I'm a loner type, I do "socialize" a bit with people so I'm not completely isolated. And by being "connected" with different websites, especially like this one I don't think that would make one cut off from social connection...sometimes think that we who are at such places (websites) might be MORE connected somehow, don't you think??

I don't think it is true. I am very social and I do believe in supernatural. I think we have to look at the study with blinking eye...I don't agree with this conclusion...

I find that interesting. I do not consider myself a lonely person. I don't feel lonely and rarely have a moment to myself, but I believe int he supernatural.

Yep, I tend to agree with you somewhat. I'm a lot like you. Though I've been a loner most of my life. I don't function well around people. It seems that I'm never truly me when "socializing" face to face. Apparently, when I write, I'm more me. So I have cut myself off from the real world just a tad bit. And I do believe in the supernatural, but then again, I always have.

"Dubble bubble toil and trouble" - sorry just quoting Shakespeare.:) I do not think there is any truth in this. And I am mocking the writer's idea that lonely people believe in the supernatural and I suppose she means witches, warlocks, and things that go bump in the night. I think that there is something in each of us who is searching for something better than us, God. When someone has friends — I gather they mean superficial friends — they abandon this desire and fill it up with frivalous playmates. So does that mean that people who have a lot of friends off line are in effect without God? Whomever wrote this believes in man and not God, and therefore her words are not fact. I have friends both online and in real life, and I believe in God. So am I lonely? I think not.
