e-s:By praying to Ishtar/Mary, and going to a seance at an ornate sepulcre where a pagan priest trys to hang our Lord back up on the cross every day...

kosta50:As much as talking snakes and donkeys...and people walking on water or being raised form the dead...have you ever seen a talking snake or a donkey or anyone raised from the dead, or do you maybe walk on water?

Do you believe in transubstantiation? Or since it's considered a miracle like the others that you appear to dismiss, do you write that off as *magic* as well?

If the miracles in the Bible are all magic as your posts indicate you conclude they are, why go to mass? Isn't it then just a magic show?

If you think that some priest can turn wheat into flesh and blood, do you believe in pink unicorns on Jupiter too?

I didn’t see men land on the moon so I really can’t believe it happened, can I?

No I don't.

Yes.

To me it is. But believers go to mass to receive sacraments. Believers also pray to God believing God hears them and listens to them. If you can believe in Incarnation and Resurrection, and that Jesus fed a multitude with a few fish, what stops you from believing the Holy Spirit (not the priest) changes the bread to the body and the wine to the blood of Christ?
