Stop talking nonsense, Rob. Everyone knows that Harry had a cousin, not a brother.
And are you seriously trying to say that the Battle of Hogwarts wasn't a real historical event?

To think that there's all this magic stuff going on everywhere, all these weird characters having cosmic battles, and that there is a god actually interacting with us. To me it sounds kind of like living in a cartoon that has been superimposed on reality.

Sorry to derail. Back to your regularly scheduled thread posts...

Some posts are on my ipad and some are on the computer. The Ipad has auto correct, while the computer seems to have an auto incorrect program built in.

Yeah, the difference being we are evolved whereas your smiley use points to a different conclusion.
So what have you learned doing your google search? Care to elaborate on your critical use of the source? How does it compare to all the details of the story we find in the bible?
See, that's the real difference between wanting to believe and actually studying a certain field. Comparing your source, which in your case would be the Jesus tale in the bible, with the proven facts of how people at a given time handled things. In the case of Jesus, they don't add up.
Curious, if you find out why or if you're even interested to find out why.
Now your moving the goal posts. We were taling about Pilate who is very well documented out side of holy text, and now you want to shift to jesus where any text that mentions Him is dismissed because it is holy. Again, it does not seem like you intrested in source material.

Or better yet you defend on what you heard/want to believe, without vetting the source. Like your dismissal of everything you don't want to believe about pilate. No reason stated, no authorative source material referenced. just your 'feelings' based on some meaningless degree you claim to have.
A perfect description of theism. 
proof?
no?
Then is it really theism I'm describing?
