lol

No I'm laying out the argument

Tell me where I got this wrong

ok, let's try this from another direction

I don't believe in a higher power exists

I have only about 2-3 more minutes though so yeah

I believe that when a person dies there is something that is left behind

a force/spirit/we

are those contradictory statements?

Depends on whether that force/spirit can be explained or not

can't explain it

it's weird

If it's not possible to explain it, then it's not a paranormal phenomenon, but a supernatural one

are they contradictory now?

I recommend reading up on the difference between supernatural and paranormal

I'm aware of the differences

answer the question

No you're clearly not

You didn't even know what supernatural means

are the statements contradictory

Since you answered that they can't be explained (using natural means), that means they're contradictory

how are they contradictory

I don't believe a "higher power" exists
I do believe supernatural ghosts exist

Because of the way atheists arrived at the conclusion that God/the supernatural doesn't exist

It's not simply a rejection of it

It's the logic behind it

no, it's your failing to grasp the logic behind it

Goddess, you made your point long ago

Goddess, do you realize this is the debate channel?

If we were in any other channel I'd not address your trolling

But here it makes no sense

the issue is not with the statement, but you're failure to grasp the separation between a belief in a higher power and how that can be distinct from a belief in the supernatural

I'll have to get back to that later @Arrias I'm out of time

I'm just trying to shame you into rethinking this entire spiel.

You can't shame me fool

that much is clear

@ETBrooD That's because you're an idiot.

I've been like this my whole life, no one can shame me into changing my mind

Alright bye, no more time

ah, the mark of a true intellectual

"my belief is unassailable"
