Do I believe in magic....
noun
the art of producing illusions as entertainment by the use of sleight of hand, deceptive devices, etc.; legerdemain; conjuring:
to pull a rabbit out of a hat by "magic."
the art of producing a desired effect or result through the use of incantation or various other techniques that presumably assure human control of supernatural agencies or the forces of nature. Compare contagious magic, imitative magic, sympathetic magic.
By this definition? Magic is just human deception.
Do I believe in deception by humans perpetrated on other humans? Sure....
As do I. Such antics have been going on since the days of Abraham. Priests of all persuasions from all corners of the globe have fooled people into keeping them fed and wealthy since man learned to harness fire.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

Some one previously characterized you as "boring."
LOL.. Best you can do is post your same old quotes and parrot Asshat and Bristoe?... how 'original' What did God sound like when he 'spoke' to you? Your tales are on par with resident Daffy Crapper.

ol josesph campbell wrote the masks of god book. lot of good stuff therein.. Joe was once a catholic, but had the brains and rational good sense to distance himself from the christian mythical narrative. "Apocalypse is not about a fiery Armageddon
and salvation of a chosen few, but about the fact
that our ignorance and our complacency are coming
to an end.”
" What the virgin birth represents is the birth of the
spiritual life in the human animal. It has nothing to
do mythologically with a biological anomaly." Bill Moyers on PBS with his" The Power of Myth" interviews with Joe aren't bad listening.

“Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something.”
True millennia ago and still true today.
That's powerful stuff right there! I notice you post quite a bit, so can you remind me which of those two categories you fall in to? Thanks
Whatever you said...everyone knows you are a lying jerk. That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied. Well?

The tax collector said: “Lord Jesus, have mercy on me, a sinner.” Jesus said he went home “justified.”

Regardless of evidence or its absence, those who disagree are often considered to be wrong, misguided, delusional or labelled a fool (or a Troll). Opinion, belief or arbitrary dismissal doesn't prove a thing.

To me, we were not created to live worried, upset, or on edge.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.
