These may be reasons that you believe whatever you do, but they are not rational arguments. I think you could recognize this easily in any context other than magic book. Let's find out.
It would be impossible for my parents to get me these gifts - therefore they came from the gift fairy.
-Obviously, it may not..in fact...be impossible for your parents to get you said gifts...but even if it were true that they couldn't... that would not mean, imply, suggest, or prove that they came from the gift fairy.
These gifts exist - therefore the gift fairy exists.
-Just chasing our own tail with this one, eh? The idea that the gifts purported to be from the gift fairy mean, imply, suggest or prove that a gift fairy exists is utterly circular..and, ofc...built upon our previous invalid argument with unsound premises.
Do you understand why I've failed to rationally argue for the gift fairy? If you do, then you understand why you've failed to rationally argue for your gift fairy...and if not, welcome to the gift fairy cult!
