So to my fellow atheists, would observation of something supernatural (though not necessarily tied to religion) change any of your views in regards to atheism?

And for the religious folk here, would observation of something supernatural (though not tied to your specific belief) change your views in regards to your belief?

Magic is real, it's called science.
Just think how your smartphone would have been viewed 500 years ago.

If magic was real I would turn all of you into really hot girls with nice racks. Then I wouldn't care what you'd be babbling about because... well I'd be too busy looking at you.

Religion wouldn't exist obviously.

Or tops. Those would have to go.

Of course magic is real, how else can you explain this.

And see how many witnesses there are so it must be true.

Then we would have to try to get a scientific understanding of this 'magic'. Which we are already doing. Magic is real.

If magic was real, I would be more inclined to believe in Harry Potter than a god.

You know, one night I spend measuring number of bacterial colonies in plates, I had this crazy idea. If magic was real, would we think about it as magic? I mean, for someone from stone age science looks like magic, so if magic was real, wouldn't it be science?

If magic were real, the events of all my favourite animes, especially Fate/Zero would have to transpire. Or maybe just Fate/Zero and it ends with the world being cleansed of mongrels by Gilgamesh or something. Holy fuck I would love to be a master in the holy grail war. Pleeeeeaaase why can't this be real life.
