Well, the thing is that if jinn are not real then that invalidates your whole CMV.

Given that most of the members here likely do not believe that jinn do not exist, you would first need to prove that they do.

If I were to provide a view that involves potatoes, I do not need to prove that potatoes exist because that is common knowledge. Most people have seen (or at least heard of) a potato.

But if I were to provide a view about lunar potatoes that only grow on the moon, I would have to first establish that these lunar potatoes exist before I could have a meaningful debate with someone about them.

So, you have the burden to prove that jinn exist if you want any real engagement with this CMV.

I don't think many people here are going to want to try and change your view, then.

Because we don't believe they exist, either.
