      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

      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.
