If six billion people tomorrow claimed belief in sentient talking tomatoes, would you then believe based on this or would you require a demonstration?

I know that there are people that believe in supernatural ideas, but this doesn't equate to the supernatural existing.
Satanist groups permeating world governments? Great. It is bad enough contending with people anticipating the return of Jesus Christ, now I am forced to deal with people awaiting the return of Lord Blackwood.
Are you serious? Seriously? Open your eyes. The occult has existed for as long as religion has, and you for how long? Are you a drinker?

It kind of does, which is why I posted this on the Roerich Banner of Peace in the first place. Tomatoes do not contribute to cultural identities, nor do they collectively form a pattern (concerning anthropology). A pointless comparison.
