Is God a logical contradiction?
RE: Is God a logical contradiction?
The mother said she tugged on her foot. The father and daughter saw her in the hallway on different occasions. I'm labeling it as a ghost. She's not a natural being the way she comes and goes.

Have you seen it yourself? For you to describe how she comes and goes? Why is it a she?

I haven't seen it. They sold the house. I was in the house a few times, but never saw anything. I call it she because it appeared to be a woman.

So then you haven't conclusively determined it's a ghost, and you don't have enough details to go by that warrants such a conclusion, so maybe just stick to "who the hell knows" instead of "it must be a ghost because one family said so".

Yabut, they were his in-laws. We’re not talking about some rando that saw Elvis....and never you mind that those randos are probably somebody’s in-laws too.

It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

And once again, you are guilty of special pleading.

There are millions of people all over the middle east that claim to have: seen Jinn, witnesses Jinn possess people, physically attack people, shape shift, responsible for mental illness, and more. And you probably do not believe their claims, yet you believe almost the exact same category of claims from other people, just because you know them.

Once again, you have demonstrated how low your bar is for what you accept as convincing evidence. You are a credulous fool. You are guilty of just about every fallacy there is, in order to continue to believe your extremely unsupported beliefs.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

I'm open to Jinn. By the way, you're arrogant and rude.

This reminds me of a local woman who claims that her dead husband communicated with her through a set of wind chimes she has in her house.  Wacky
