Every miracle, including the Muslim belief in a moon that split in half, and the Christian belief in a decomposing preacher who rose from the dead, is a belief in supernatural magic. Is supernatural magic real? Can a god with unlimited magical powers throw out reality and make impossible things happen? I'm convinced supernatural magic including magic god fairies are just childish fantasies. I can't imagine how reality can be thrown out. Reality is not going anywhere. Everything we see in the universe can be explained or eventually will be explained by science. Scientific progress will continue forever. Meanwhile, primitive religions are permanently stuck in the Dark Ages.
One of my favorite quotes: "There is a fundamental difference between religion, which is based on authority, and science, which is based on observation and reason. Science will win because it works." -- Stephen Hawking

A few years ago I wondered how Christians could justify the resurrection of a decomposing corpse because after 3 days nothing is going to work. So I looked it up and found something from the Catholic Church. Their idea was the corpse never decomposed at all. In other words to justify a magical resurrection they invented more magic. How convenient that is. Just keep making stuff up. Christianity completely depends on a magical resurrection being true even though it's impossible.
The problem is reality can't be thrown out. Reality doesn't care if people don't like it. The logical thing to do is just give up and admit Christianity is the most ridiculous cult ever invented. Then throw it in the garbage where it belongs.
Reality is a wonderful thing because it's interesting and because it's real. Religious fantasies are boring not to mention disgusting. They are not real.
Science hard, hurts brain. God easy, no think.
After I wrote that stuff an insane Republican terrorist wrote this bullshit:
"You can tell Jesus that he's fake when you're standing before him on Judgement Day. Just don't do it while I'm standing next to you."
As if I'm supposed to worry about an idiot's childish fantasies. I never met a Christian who wasn't a stupid fucking asshole.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
