It really is NOT IN ANY WAY simple.
jar excerpted here:
...but as i have said I see absolutely no way anyone could show, evidence, experience or know something was supernatural.

Re: It really is NOT IN ANY WAY simple.
No, I didn't remember that message, but I agree.
In fact I find those folk that try to prove their God (or any other "supernatural" thing) exists and really is "supernatural" very short sighted. The best that they could do is prove that whatever it is, it is not "supernatural" but just natural.

Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Re: It really is simple.
Are you putting demons and GOD in your unknown folder? Or your supernatural folder?
If you are putting them in your unknown folder - How are you deciding which unknowns would be supernatural if they existed and which wouldn't?

I deride anyone who asserts stuff without evidence.
jar asserting writes:
GOD, if GOD exists would be supernatural.
Should I point out the irony here or simply deride you for your assertions?

Re: It really is simple.
You are of course free to deride me if that makes you feel good.
As long as I am alive I would have to put any demonic experience I had in the Unknown folder, but then I believe I've told you that in the past.
If Demons or GOD existed though they would be supernatural.

Re: It really is simple.
For comparison - Is dark matter in your unknown folder?
How are you deciding which things in your unknown folder would be supernatural (e.g. demons) if they existed and which wouldn't?

Re: It really is simple.
Dark Matter is in a known to exist but not yet fully understood folder.
Nothing goes into my supernatural folder yet.
Read what I write.
Demons and GOD if they exist would go into the supernatural folder. But I see no way that as long as I am just a human living in the natural world that I could ever identify, test, examine, determine or know of anything that really is supernatural.

So you put them in your 'unknown' folder.

How are you deciding which things in your unknown folder would be moved to the supernatural folder if they existed and which wouldn't?

Re: It really is simple.
Again, I will happily repeat what I have said.
You look at the evidence.

What evidence leads you to conclude that demons, if they exist, will be supernatural?
How are you deciding which things in your unknown folder are going to be (i.e. if they exist) supernatural and which aren't?
This has nothing to do with you being dead. The claim that some things will be supernatural if they exist is being made by you now. While you are very much alive.
What is the basis of this claim?

Re: It really is simple.
Too funny.
No evidence, just definition.
That is why there is nothing in the supernatural folder yet.
It really is that simple.

You are the one that said it was based on evidence.
Now we know it's just those belief-based self-serving definitions of yours again.
Nuff said.

Hold on!! What definition?
You said GOD was undefinable. Now he is defined as being supernatural.
You really are a writhing mass of masked contradictions aren't you.

Re: It really is simple.
Not really. I have said we can't define what supernatural is. We can define what it is not though.
If you like I will gladly step through it yet again for you.
