Comment on Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts?

It’s interesting how many people in this thread seem almost angry at the possibility that someone believes in ghosts.

He actually believes that ghosts exist while proclaiming to be an atheist who thinks the scientific method is flawed. He’s pretty retarded and we’re pointing it out.

I think I’m the guy you’re referring to. I don’t think the scientific method is flawed.

I think you actually can make a reasonable scientific case for the existence of the supernatural
Can you explain how you would use the scientific method on the supernatural?
ageedizzle@piefed.ca 2 weeks ago
The same way you would on with else. You collect data, try to construct theories, test your hypothesis, etc.
Also, I was just using ‘supernatural’ as a shorthand here. If these phenomena are real then they would be part of nature and therefor natural

This seems to be a phenomenon I’m coming across increasingly frequently in real life. People outraged about “how dare you think that…”.
This used has always been quite common online, but I never so much IRL. Sometimes I have to shut down a conversation with someone because they’re getting too worked up to talk about the issue.
