Rabbi Moshe Rat
Question
A head-to-head debate between Moshe Rat and Razi from the atheist line just came out—did you watch it? In general, Moshe’s claim is that there are many testimonies from people who saw supernatural things, so a priori it’s very reasonable that it’s true. Do you agree with the claim that it’s quite possible that demons and spirits exist?
Answer
I didn’t watch it. In my opinion that is of course possible in principle, but I am very doubtful about all these “testimonies.” Usually, when you check, it turns out to be nonsense.
But there are so many of them that he claims it’s reasonable to say it’s true. If I’m not mistaken, he mentioned that around 15% of people in America have seen a deceased relative.
Besides that, there are claims about many testimonies with similar, even identical, characteristics. So apparently forces with that kind of appearance probably do exist.
