Do you sometimes find yourself "zoning out" while driving on the highway?

why is it every thread I post in some pagan has to take pot shots at me for absolutely no reason whatsoever? Not that I care what your opinion is, I couldn't care less what the Luciferian masses think about me. In fact, the less you pagans think about me, the better off I know I'm doing

Talking like that is not winning any converts just makes you sound like a zealot. Btw religon is SOOO early this afternoon.

I find myself zoning out all the time.

 

[MournSanity]

It's called highway hypnosis.

yes this occurs to me. especially since my commute to work is like 35-45 minutes each way. ill be on the final freeway on the way home, then all of a sudden realize my exit is coming up. thats like 10 minutes of no knowledge of whats occured in the past 10 minutes. i always check my mirrors afterwards to see if their is some carnage left behind me or something, but everything seems to be fine. its strange. but yea, it happens to me.

Just because a person is paganistic, doesn't mean they believe in Satan. In fact, if someone is an atheist, belief in Satan as a diety is impossible. It's possible to not believe in God and not be evil, just as it's possible to be a die-hard Christian and be typified as the type of person who causes intolerance and suffering. Give Jerry Falwell my regards.

I'm not trying to "win any converts". That's the point. I am a zealot by your definition, just as you are a pagan by mine. We can still get along though

Just because you don't believe in something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I think human history has proven this.
I would disagree with your analysis of good/evil as well. I don't think it's possible to be good if you don't follow G-d, but of course that's just my opinion.

It would make a kicka$$ sitcom
Btw your a zealot by Pat Robertson's standards!

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

Occurs to me even though I'm still less than 2 months away from my license. When we went to Kentucky, it was around a 2 to 3 hour drive and I did the whole way, dad said it would be good highway driving for me, and it was. But after some time when you don't need to take exits or anything, it got pretty boring....

Flyermax, do you do any highway driving or just city driving?

 

[petery83]

i've even fallen asleep at the wheel for a few seconds...it happened when i ate a huge lunch, then drove on the freeway the afternoon and it was really warm. once i kept on falling asleep for a few seconds when i had to drive after a 20-hour bus ride (i got almost no sleep)

LMAO! I can just see it now "The Pagan and the Religious Lunatic" Yes, I am a zealot by Pat Robertson's standards. I despise that man. It is my belief he is antichrist (not *the* antichrist, just anti-christ). I think he has a forked tongue and is leading people down the path to destruction.
Enough zealotry for you?

I do believe in God, but I don't pretend that I know what form he/she/it is in or if he/she/it even exists. I believe in God because, as I said in the other topic, I believe in a karma-like balance to the universe. I can only hope that more people take an open-minded approach to other cultures and beliefs, without merely dismissing them. I won't deny the moral guidance that religion offers, but it is possible to be a moral person without it. I was raised Catholic, but I no longer belong to the church or any other particular religious affiliation, yet I believe in doing what is right and just.

From 12:45-10:30 Monday afternoon/night I drove from Minneapolis to Tulsa. I didn't fall asleep and I certainly didn't "zone out". I grew up in a household where my father worked in the Auto industry so I'm used to cars and driving. I am an automotive/driving enthusiast and as I've stated already, I don't put my life or others' lives on the line by losing my concentration when I'm behind the wheel.

Everyone has to find their own "truth". Only when this world is over will we know what the truth is.

I do that all the time...

Assuming there is an afterlife. We could just be a pile of bones if and when the world ends.

 

[Azraele]

It's happened to me before too.

 

[mAdD INDIAN]

It happens to me all the time.

And when I'm driving in the city on a common route (from school to home), sometimes...once I reach home...I'm like wtf? I dont' remember all the moves.

Everything just seems so automatic.

Anything's possible. I choose to believe differently but I'm not G-d so I certainly can't say anything is absolute truth.

Not referring to you in parrticular;
it always makes me smile when I hear how some people are absolutely certain that there is no such thing as an absolute certainity.

 

[JEDI]

i do that all the time when i drive to DC.

i even once pulled into a reststop. when i turned off the engine, i "woke up"

very WEIRD

The only absolute certainty that I know of is that I exist. "I think, therefore I am". Everything else is externalized and not provable
