Now how is that different from what I told him? I told him to get a grasp on the situation and acknowledge that his house isn't haunted.

Dude, the problem is your telling him to acknowledge his house isn't haunted, when it probably is. Why tell someone to lie to themselves? Bootsnslide never told him to convince himself they don't exist. He just said to ignore what may in fact exist.

Argumentum ad ignorantiam (argument to ignorance). This is the fallacy of assuming something is true simply because it hasn't been proven false. I didn't make that up. It's logic 101. Your belief in god is based on flawed logic. That's a thin line to walk on your belief of a god, but not believe in ghosts. Hey man, don't think I'm attacking you. It's just a discussion. Nothing personal. You can believe whatever you want as far as I'm concerned. I'm just defending the poster.
