RULES:
- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
- Be nice. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements to private messages.

How is faith circular reasoning?
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.
Well, it is highly improbable, because only a few people have, either by this aforementioned person or himself. And it requires supernatural powers.
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.
The Jesus we believe in was written about 2000 years ago. Our beliefs haven't changed.
You believe because you believe.
Then our belief in anything can be put to circular reasoning
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.
We can't prove that anne frank existed though. Those videos of her could have been an actress. The story could have been an elaborate rouse. Etc, etc
You believe that anne frank existed because you believe that she existed, etc, etc
Odd example but correct, we cannot know with absolute certainty. But her story doesn't feature magic, so it's much easier to believe.
