Those who don't fly aren't True Christians™.

And there even was an alleged monk, who could fly.

But only if a cross was around. Kind of an inverted Dracula.

Oh for heavens sake...

No Huggy, no I don't believe David Blaine can fucking levitate. The entire point of this ludicrous example was to demonstrate your utter lack of any skepticism at all.

Though, I'm fully expecting you to jump out with a "gotcha" after you linked that "we all levitate video, which is obviously not the sort of 'levitation' to which I or Blaine are referring.

Let's take another example. There are videos of what people claim to be the loch ness monster. Do you believe the loch ness monster exists just based on those videos?

wait! not so fast.
levitating means exactly that, levitating. there aren't any other "sorts" of levitation.

So to be clear, your answer is we don't in fact levitate. correct?

My response is that no, David Blaine cannot levitate the way he claims he can.

Yet they can't do it in modern times.

We're not talking about his claims, you simply asked about levitation, in which it is evident according to the video that we all levitate, which includes Blaine. So David Blaine does in fact levitate, correct?

When there is an overwhelming amount of eye witness testimony, then people have to acknowledge that there just may be some truth to this phenomena.

No they don't. That testimony still has to stand up to scrutiny. But that isn't even what we were talking about at this point. You asked FatAndFaithless to provide evidence that life after death doesn't exist. That's not how it works. The burden of proof is yours to show that it does exist, or is at least plausible. And if there is an overwhelming evidence, it ought to be easy.

No, huggy, I'm shocked that even you're this dense.

You used random, meaningless videos to support random, asinine claims. I brought up David Blaine's asinine claim that he can magically levitate. There are videos of this happening, which according to your previously-demonstrated standard, is enough evidence for it to be true.

Please show me where you specified the words "claim" and "magic" in this quote.

So, you do believe David Blaine can levitate?

You simply asked if he could levitate in the literal sense, and in that sense he does, agree?
