In other words, you know how to disprove the existence of Casper the ghost. Please enlighten us. It's not an argument if you just say "I know, but I'm not going to tell you how I know."

Is it beyond your intellect to understand the meaning of leprechauns, for example?
Moreover, studying Christian doctrine is an in depth study of the supernatural. It's my subject. So I'm better equipped to consider questions of supernatural origin. Someone ignorant of the field wouldn't be as equipped to consider such problems. Practically, I will be more aware of superstitious practice and able to avoid them. That's my experience.
If you want to dismiss supernatural entities, I would expect you to have some idea why. If you have no reason, then I'm happy to acknowledge your lack of opinion.
