There's not that little step there.Do you have anything to say to the rest of my post? Like about how illusionists have revealed their "levitating" secrets?
Well, you said that what I posted was naive and ignorant. What I posted reflected what I think. Therefore: you called me, personally, naive and ignorant. I believe I read it very closely indeed.
Wrong again. I told you the first time to go back and carefully re-read what I wrote. I did not say that you were naive and ignorant and I did not say that what you posted was naive and ignorant. I'll give you one more chance to get it right (read slowly this time). I will even go out of my way to re-post what I wrote to make it easier for you.

With all due respect siriuswriter what you have written sounds naive and ignorant. David Blaine and Chriss Angel are witches operating under the pretense of being magicians. They do literally levitate. You should do research outside of this site about levitation (it is a reality).
😄
JIA, once again you're completely screwing up the idea of presenting credible research.
The people you're talking to don't believe in the bible as fact. Therefore; you have to use different sources. Other than the bible, and other than these sites who are so fanatical. The first rule of public speaking is the you must keep your audience in mind.
If you're talking among Christians, then it's perfectly okay to use the bible as a resource.
If you're talking among non-Christians, or a mix of the two, as is the case here, then that is not okay. The bible is no longer a credible source, because not everyone takes it as fact.
And as for these websites that you find... they're completely rubbish. There are no studies behind them, no proof. Just one person's word against another's. Not to mention the fact that they are extremely biased.
Until your resources improve, you can't say "The point is that they were involved in or experienced something supernatural." You must say, "According to these resources, they were involved in or experienced something supernatural." There is a world of difference between the two.
This is one reason why people do not listen to you.
King Kandy : Please don't take JIA as the only type of Christian. Good God, please do not do that. I am a Christian, and a liberal one. Yes, it is possible to be both. Undoubtedly, JIA will tell you otherwise... 🙄

Are you going to answer the rest of my post or are you going to keep evading the question?
RE: sounding ignorant. I post my thoughts. My thoughts are myself. There is no difference. How can I further clarify this? We can still keep talking about this if you wish. I am still offended. You are still evading the question.

The reason he won't answer the question is because he is more concerned with being right than with gaining wisdom.

Evading? I reserve the right to answer what I want to answer just as you do (that's how I see it).
What levitation secrets? Witches like David Blaine and Chriss Angel levitate through the instrumentality of demonic power (this is not a secret). Besides, David Blaine and Chriss Angel are not illusionists, that is simply a facade or pretense that they use to mask what is truly behind what the do.
