yes, but if I said “sounds like a load of arse”, it wouldn’t be funny.
Yeah but these kind of things add color to life. Sure its probably just a lump of rock, but then you could equally say that the liberty bell is just a cracked piece of metal. It’s the belief that’s important, not the item itself. Ascribing alleged mystical properties to inanimate objects is a uniquely Human thing to do - it’s what separates us from the animals. As long as you dont get too carried away with that kind of thing, it doesn’t do too much harm.
