Guilty. I am not seeking to justify my rejection of the categorically supernatural. Nor am I seeking to settle any dispute between believers and nonbelievers. (Not my problem.)
However I admittedly hold the bias that the 'supernatural' is an unnecessary category and an empty set. I don't have any proof for that position nor do I think it needs any. For my part, I'm willing to accept only so much agreement as is already there on the matter. I don't need to persuade you that I'm right about this. But it is an important difference between us in terms of how we see the world. It doesn't mean I can't share the world with you or that I think you and your side are all pathological. That so many on your side of the divide do feel compelled to persuade us that it is important and urgent to join you does worry me and can get in the way of our having much to do with each other.
