      End-of-life visions are Santa cosplaying as people’s dead relatives, as he’s known to only be visible to those he wishes to be visible to

      And, of course, as a real adult you know there is no logical way to unconditionally disprove this particular statement about Santa

        Fuck that’s stupid, how the hell could you believe in that kind of incoherent nonsense?

        It’s not Santa, you fucking dolt, he doesn’t exist, it’s Mothman. For fuck’s sake.

        Edit: Who the hell is taking this seriously enough to downvote?

      No one’s asking anyone to prove a negative, there’s just zero case for a positive.

      You can not believe in ghosts because there’s zero evidence they exist and compassionately support someone at the end of their life who’s experiencing deathbed visions at the same rime

      I can’t agree on this. For one, proving the negative would apply for infinite cases. That’s not useful. It’s worse than wrong; it’s not even wrong. Second, most would agree that ghosts are supernatural. By definition if it exists it must be natural, and thus can be studied and understood.
