Can you convince me that I'm wrong.

Why would I need to convince you that you're wrong?

Not a game I'm interested in. Someone who thinks like that probably also thinks that sticking his fingers in his ears and shouting LALALA is a supreme defense.

What you need to be doing is trying to convince others that you're not delusional.

So where can I find a spirit?

Can I photograph one?

Can I weigh a spirit?

Can I measure one with a ruler?

good questions.

Yes, they are. Let’s see what you do with them.

mediumship proves that spirits interact with matter.

No, you see this is just you asserting your apparent personal view as a fact. You do know that your belief is founded on a famous scam busted decades ago, don’t you?

In this debate I can learn a lot about skepticism.

This isn’t a debate. It’s one individual lost in the 19th century, bringing a chapstick to a gunfight.

I can abandon these beliefs.

If in fact you even hold them.

It's going to be a long debate.

It isn’t, trust me.

Are you willing to learn things you don't know yet?

Always. Always willing to learn from someone equipped to teach. Please direct me to such a person.
