You draw your facts from stories that were made to entertain? That is truly bizarre.
" Do you realize how silly it is to automatically declare something you can't understand to be an otherworldly spirit, and are you really sure you want to base your religious views on something so trivial and ridiculous?"
Trivial and ridiculous are an opinion in this case, and no, I don't base my belief in this story alone. Consider it a water bottle holder on the bike of religion.
My dad saw the mess, and everything else the morning after. I'd say he's a very reliable source. There are so many possible scenarios. Through the process of elimination, what do you believed caused that mess? I've already responded to the prank hypothesis.
