Dreaming of Genie
A Saudi family is suing a jinni that has been harassing them. Jinn, according to the Quran, are a species of creature much like ourselves, with free will and the ability to be good or bad. However, we can't see them because they're made of fire and we're made of earth.
When I moved to Qatar, the universal belief in the existence of jinn was one of the things that started me questioning my belief in God. I wanted to say, "But how can a rational person believe in invisible beings of which they have, and CAN have, no proof, and whose supposed interactions with the world can be explained in other, more scientific ways?" But that's a rather odd thing to say if you believe in God.
If you believe in God but not jinn, how would you argue against the existence of jinn?
