In britain people used to think that fairies shot invisible arrows at you to cause harm. This is where the expression "a shooting pain" comes from.

Please explain how a one off creature that existed outside of space and time but created everything, is able to judge you on your beliefs and actions because if monitors everything and is able to split itself so that it can be human and god at the same time IS NOT AN EXTRADINARY CLAIM.

You realise that I could have just gone on and on with the above but my din dins are almost ready.

I didn't say it wasn't an extraordinary claim, (for the sake of argument I will grant you that it is) I said it wasn't comparable to claiming fairies exist. And I still think it is your burden of proof if you say that it is as such things as it is not self-evident to just about everyone like the non-belief of fairies are. Even some atheists disbelieve in God but do not think that it is such a crazy thing as believing in fairies.

Lets do a comparison here; fairies - magical creatures with no evidence for their existence. Gods - powerful magical beings, some transcendent and some imminent, with no evidence for their existence. See the similarity? Just because there is more literature and followers for gods, does not make it any less of a supernatural claim.
