Your arguments rest on the a faulty foundation -- that the five senses are the only human means of perception. If you can agree that you have other faculties of perception and begin to exercise them, you may want to change your mind.

The truth is that people who can actually prove these things have little to no interest in convincing doubters.

What I had expected from you is proof or even a hypothetical synopsis on the subject matter,I explicitly said I wanted contribution from matured and informed individuals for a reason,what you have done since you suggest they'd find my dead body if I go to some crappy place to do whatever... Is a subjective bias over something you know little to nothing about.you want to believe in ghosts and shit of course be my guest,but give me proof of existence not unnecessary chatter.

Usually when someone put a question Mark at the end of your comment the intention is to explain what the word means or to at least rewrite it in a way the person would understand,your ability or inability to make errors is not a concern of mine, I ask again what do you mean by chame?
What I mean is charm,juju,voodoo, Ogun abene gongo,magani,jazz, and my question is why the so called charm,voodoo, Ogun,magani or jazz failed?
If truly u are what u claim to be u should know the answer to this question

This set of people you mentioned do not exist sir.
I've spoken to theologians from different countries so this is not just a sudden assertion,and every educated and enlightened individual would agree with me, but in this part of the world due to how most of you were brought up this beliefs has been instilled in you it's become like a cornerstone in your life that you cannot question because of the fear of how your loved ones and your society will see you.
But in all truth,there is nothing to it.there is no supernatural,quit watching those vampires and witches movies because it is not real

Simple question you cannot answer but according to you , you're an expert on life grin

You're asking me to do a spell for you? Did I tell you I don't believe in the supernatural? You want to be convinced yet you want to watch video.

You are not ready at all. You're calling me brainwashed for telling you to do a practical thing? What are you afraid of? If the supernatural doesn't exist, reading the seventh book of Moses will be like reading a novel to you.

Don't come here asking questions if you don't have the balls to find the answer to your question. You want people to spoonfeed you.

Yen yen yen... I have visited herbalists, na by visit? Ordinary spell you're already shaking. Please go and rest, if you don't believe in supernatural, it won't cease to exist or disappear because of your disbelief.

And if you think you will spend years on this earth without experiencing the supernatural, you're only kidding yourself the more. Continue waiting for your video mtchew.

shogsman:

What part of I have visited tons of herbalists didn't you understand ma'am,this is pure logical research, common reasoning even,and I'm pretty sure my course of study doesn't have anything to do with any of this,by the way I am from ijebu and I'm pretty sure I'm way more intertwined with your supposed supernatural world than you.
And the fact that you think you can do a spell from a book of Moses shows how far you've been brainwashed ma,it is very funny actually.
One question please, could you show me proof of you conjuring a spirit,a video will suffice even.afterall we live in a global age ahn
Re: The Supernatural World Is An Old Fiction by peggywebbs(f): 6:19pm On Jun 21, 2021
Coming on this platform thinking that everyone here is either naive, ignorant, or stupid is one thing. It is the effrontery for me.

If you want to really find out the truth of the existence of something , you will drop that textbook attitude. You wondered why I asked for your course of study? Well, if you were an educationist, researcher or even a lawyer, you would want a practical approach to things.

Asking people pertinent questions will not convince you that they are logical. If you haven't seen what they have seen or had a first hand experience on the supernatural, you would presume others as lunatics.

Why do you think Christian scientists don't impose their beliefs on their colleagues? It's because one they respect other people's beliefs and they also know that people tend to doubt what they haven't seen.

So if you really want to know if the supernatural exists? You don't need anyone to convince you otherwise because you will only call it a parlour trick. If you summon a demon or an angel and see them with your two eyes, then you have your answer.

That's why I referred you to the Sixth and Seventh Book of Moses. It's available online for free, pdf version. Nobody will exploit you or take your money. And it's better because since you're not brainwashed, you will obviously tell if you are hallucinating or not.

Save conjectures and hearsay, there no provable evidence of the supernatural though this doesn’t preclude its possibility.

Supernatural beliefs are beliefs in things that do not and cannot exist to the best of scientific knowledge, but which appear real to believers. Examples are the belief in god, angels, daemons, reincarnation, ghosts, spirits,rituals etc.
Having done an extensive research and visited tons of herbalists and traditionalists personally for my study I can very well conclude that spirits, rituals and charms are just superstitious belief,the only power it has is the influence it has on believers who are at the mercy of the traditions they grew up into.

When people are asked to justify their belief in such invisible beings, they often appeal to two things. First, to testimony: to reports of sightings, miraculous events supposedly caused by such beings, and so on(this testimonies has never been confirmed in the real sense). Any New Age bookshop will be able to provide numerous testimonies regarding invisible agency that might seem hard to account for naturalistically in terms of hallucination, self-deception, misidentified natural phenomena, trickery, and so on. Second, many will also claim a subjective sense of presence: they ‘just know’ their dead Auntie is in the room with them, or that they have a guardian angel, by means of some sort of extra sense: a spirit sense. Many contemporary religious folk believe they can sense divinity by means of some sort of god-sense.

If there really are no good grounds for believing such beings exist, however, why do people believe in them? There’s much scientific speculation about that but, as yet, no definitive answer.

One obvious advantage of positing invisible agents is that they can account for what might otherwise be baffling. I could swear I left my keys on the table, but there they are under the sofa. How on Earth did that happen? Someone died around my house and my Windows won't keep shut,the spirit must still be lingering around even though there is a strong wind coursing through the weather.
I think the reason why they are so many believers in this part of the world is because people need something to rely on,they need a safety blanket,they need to feel like they're not alone and they're accountable for Thier actions

I welcome arguments from from enlightened and matured minds,afterall no one is an island of knowledge.

first bold! Of what relevance is your character evidence in your coming to disprove Supernatural belief? You could always present your case without giving evidence of your character.

Second Bold! Scientific knowledge is not always Proof of Truth but Unchallenged Evidence is Proof of Truth.

All you did was to query the explanations and evidence purportedly given in proof of the existence of the Supernatural, for it is you here who we See manufacturing those evidence in support of the supernatural and it is still you, who is attacking it.

Ever heard of The Law of Establishing a Case, "He who alleges must Prove?"

Surely you must know it for you were also using words like "hearsay, evidence etc"

Thus, you are the one who alleged that the Supernatural is a Fiction and you gave no proof of it.

your reversal of the burden of proof will not work.
Re: The Supernatural World Is An Old Fiction by shogsman(m): 2:19pm On Jun 22, 2021
Let it be known that I have nothing against religious people, afterall a man as the right to believe in whatever works for him ,heck life is easier when you believe there is an higher power somewhere I suppose it gives people a slight chance of hope.

But sadly it is a pure FARCE,I even go as far as to call it a crude buffoonery or horseplay,just absurd drama.

If you think otherwise please by all means proof me wrong, but make sure you HAVE A VERY TANGIBLE EVIDENCE OR PROOF TO PRESENT NOT A BUNCH OF EMOTIONAL MISALIGNMENT AND UNNECESSARY CHATTER ABOUT WHAT WE ALL KNOW.
