>implying he wasn't deliberately focusing on the "method"

All religions, all over the world, use the same bad arguments. They just recycle them, and change the subject matter. That guy did the "argument from ignorance" with ghosts. Other here have used the same bad argument with gods, others magic. People use that argument to believe in monsters, UFOs, and whatever crazy bullshit they want. They all making the same exact fucking mistake, but are too dumb to fucking realize it, and they each think they have a "unique special argument".

The method of how you arrive at your conclusions is the most important part. It is where people usually fuck up the most. It is the actual cause of the problem. That guys main problem wasn't that he believes in ghosts, it was that his method of reasoning was so fucked up, that he was gullible enough to believe in ghosts. Sure, we could convince him that ghost doesn't exist, but his reasoning would still be fucked up! And he might just go from idiot belief to another, with the same argument from ignorance.
