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.
I wouldn't describe God as "magical," but as supernatural. And if there are two similarities it doesn't make an identity.
