If there is no such thing as the supernatural, then how do you explain this?

Well, it's something that you accept as a sufficient reason to believe. But you have an immense blind spot in your rationality when it comes to the bible, and you special plead in a very low burden of proof for that, that you wouldn't accept for similar claims from other places. I'm afraid a person who doesn't preserve their beliefs through logical fallacies, who has a consistent set of beliefs, will also have a much higher expectation of evidence for all claims.

A bible quote is a good reason for you, because you've already accepted the bible to be true based on no evidence but your own personal revelation. I haven't had that revelation, and I don't see yours as sufficient for belief, and when I asked you for a reason to believe what you just claimed, you couldn't even give that.

That's troubling. Thinking
