This is why it's in the Christian teaching that trying to explain God is blasphemy

2019-11-05 18:05:20 UTC  

wat

2019-11-05 18:05:26 UTC  

lol

2019-11-05 18:05:29 UTC  

Yes, we're taught the we cannot understand God

2019-11-05 18:05:46 UTC  

that doesn't mean you can try to explain God

2019-11-05 18:06:13 UTC  

saying something is beyond our complete comprehension does not mean, "every facet is beyond comprehension"

2019-11-05 18:06:24 UTC  

But that's the definition of the supernatural

2019-11-05 18:06:31 UTC  

That you cannot use natural means to explain it

2019-11-05 18:06:35 UTC  

Therefore it's impossible

2019-11-05 18:06:44 UTC  

You can't explain it no matter how hard you try

2019-11-05 18:06:48 UTC  

and?

2019-11-05 18:06:57 UTC  

That means that things like ghost sightings are not supernatural

2019-11-05 18:07:01 UTC  

They're paranormal

2019-11-05 18:07:12 UTC  

and?

2019-11-05 18:07:13 UTC  

This is why atheists can believe in ghosts

2019-11-05 18:07:21 UTC  

holy fuck you're stupid

2019-11-05 18:07:22 UTC  

lol

2019-11-05 18:07:27 UTC  

No I'm laying out the argument

2019-11-05 18:07:33 UTC  

Tell me where I got this wrong

2019-11-05 18:07:35 UTC  

ok, let's try this from another direction

2019-11-05 18:07:46 UTC  

I don't believe in a higher power exists

2019-11-05 18:07:48 UTC  

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

2019-11-05 18:08:08 UTC  

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

2019-11-05 18:08:13 UTC  

a force/spirit/we

2019-11-05 18:08:25 UTC  

are those contradictory statements?

2019-11-05 18:08:37 UTC  

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

2019-11-05 18:08:44 UTC  

can't explain it

2019-11-05 18:08:47 UTC  

it's weird

2019-11-05 18:08:56 UTC  

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

2019-11-05 18:08:57 UTC  

are they contradictory now?

2019-11-05 18:09:12 UTC  

I recommend reading up on the difference between supernatural and paranormal

2019-11-05 18:09:28 UTC  

I'm aware of the differences

2019-11-05 18:09:32 UTC  

answer the question

2019-11-05 18:09:33 UTC  

No you're clearly not

2019-11-05 18:09:36 UTC  

You didn't even know what supernatural means

2019-11-05 18:09:38 UTC  

are the statements contradictory

2019-11-05 18:10:10 UTC  

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

2019-11-05 18:10:20 UTC  

how are they contradictory

2019-11-05 18:10:40 UTC  

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

2019-11-05 18:10:54 UTC  

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

2019-11-05 18:11:02 UTC  

It's not simply a rejection of it
