Do you know of any websites were Christians are psychic and love projecting and lucid dreaming? :|
No. There's a reason Christians in this sort of interest are limited.
Can you find Jesus in the astral? Serious question

Try it.

Lol... got odd mental image of a church filled with people practicing psychokinetics.
Hmm... none come to mind, but then I wouldn't have searched for them, so I couldn't say. I do know that many Christians do come to this site, and the overwhelming issue they seem to bring to the table is whether or not it is a sin against their belief system to practice projections; since this bit seems to be the biggest hurdle, and where most of the Christians who come to the subject seem to linger, I would not guess that there is great organization, but that is not to say it doesn't exist.
there's a lot of astral projection in christian mythology. i would be totally comfortable saying that every instance of divine vision is an astral experience. every angelic encounter, every moment spent in the presence of "God", every divine word uttered in the ear of a follower, even bilocation (yea that's in there). the bible is littered with these experiences, i'm sure of it. the culture of the time was still very much what we might call "shamanic" and "pagan", it would only make sense that these biblical figures (assuming they existed) would be involved in pagan ritual of some sort. so you'd think that there would have to be christians into AP/OBE/Psi out there somewhere.
I once taught a class on AP in my old church. It was a metaphysical christian church. I got some very good feedback from it.
I taught the same class in my new church, but there were not as many people in that group.
BTW, zorged again. Good one.

That might be so.
I can definitely say that later Jewish mysticism in the Kabballah is absolutely filled with explicit mentions of astral projection, and prescribes the use of a "Merkahbar" soul vehicle even, to facilitate the process.
Islamic Sufism also strays in the mysic direction at times, even to the extent that other sects declare Sufism an apostate movement.
Jesus does exist, but i think he's pegan LOL Although, christinanity did come from pegan, and is very similar

Personally I think it's some type of delusion or self-deceit. I get an overwhelming sense of insincerity when I hear Christians chanting the "Jesus/God loves you" mantra.

I belive in the greek gods...
I believe in the agnostic god. That is to say, the god who may or may not exist.
There's a city in the astral where the gods live...

For sake of argument... I support this option. :)
I believe in the agnostic human. You know, the human who is just not sure.
I believe in the Pragmatic Agnostic Human. The one that realizes the thousands of years of continuing debates are all pointless and meaningless because it's irrelevant to one's living life whether a God exists or Not. :P
I don't know, I think it's kind of fun. But I get what you're trying to say.
since i'm not one for blind faith, i can't imagine any other position besides agnosticism.
atheists too. they're putting just as much blind faith in science as a christian puts in the bible.
it's something you can only know, never articulate or define, never perceive directly, just know.
that's how i feel anyway. feel being the important word.
It sounds funny, but to me it is exciting seeing the world from an agnostic perspective. It means that nothing is worked out, nothing is written; everything is possibilities. Because I don't know, I get to discover everything for myself, for the first time. If there is a deity, I almost feel thankful in a way for the giving of this ignorance. It gives the world a kind of profoundly poetic mystery that it simply could not have if I knew all the details and had the fullest picture. You can't have a moment of silent brooding reverie if you have to listen to the 1000 angel choir all the time, afterall.
People are always yearning for greater knowledge of the world, and I think that perhaps they forget to enjoy the subtle beauty of their present experience and condition; children are always scoffed for wanting to grow older... maybe this is the same.
We are all God, together everything composes It. To create is to be God.

You ever heard of Edgar Cayce (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Edgar_Casey)? He considered himself to be a Christian psychic. Of course he isn't accepted by the fundamentalists but I guess that goes without saying.
