Right, and it’s much more likely that some true stories about a great dude got exaggerated a little bit over 2000 years, and vanishingly less likely that magic is real.
But both are absolutely possible.

Not exactly. Some things can be proven. But regarding things that happened thousands of years ago? Yeah that’s just everyone’s best guess and personal beliefs.
And forgive me for my use of “impossible” earlier, that’s not my position.
“Highly improbable” is a way better qualifier.
Not going to edit it because it ruins the context.
You believe because you believe.
Sure. Whenever discussing religion one will fall into circular reasoning, because faith itself is circular reasoning. One cannot use logic or reason to get out of a position that logic and reason did not get them into.
Logic and reason from billions of people’s shared experiences on the earth.
Feel free to die and return and prove me wrong.
In the simplest possible terms: people do not come back from the dead. That is an impossible thing.
That’s fair, and you’re entitled to believe what you like.
My faith tells me that the possible (though unlikely) set of events must be true, as the alternative is impossible and just as unlikely.
Also possible that a good dude who preached love and kindness went into a coma when the tyrants put him on a cross, and then woke up a few days later, with no involvement whatsoever from the creator.
Maybe I’m an outlier, but omnipresent AI cameras would ensure bad behavior in my case.
Oh, across the broader population you’re absolutely correct. In that initial comment, I was referring to the users here on lemmy. Sorry, “we” can be rather ambiguous.
They printed a rebuttal to that in one of the punisher comics.
“Kill two”
Disliking someone less is not the same as liking them.
“it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.” - Douglas Adams
Whoa, whoa, you think there are politicians that we like?
There are a lot more cats than just the bakaneko.
No account, first time there, clicked the link then one more click to the comic. ::shrugs::
Like this?
::sigh:: Again, you’re making it about race, when we hate the rich assholes who did and do that shit just as much as you do. So yeah, that is racism. Ya damn fool.
Oh, our ancestors were fucking awful humans, and our current ruling class is even worse, but don’t lump us common folk in with them, ya fuckin’ racist.
Odd example but correct, we cannot know with absolute certainty. But her story doesn’t feature magic, so it’s much easier to believe.
