Silliness.

Anything caused has a natural explanation, whether we can find the explanation or not. If it cannot be explained by any of the known laws of nature then we have discovered new physics, not magic.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

People like to repeat scriptural verses as if they will have some magical effect on others. That's magical thinking.

I like Black/Red decks for straight out nukes, although mixing in Blue to fuck with an opponent's deck is fun, too.

we had a freakish clock radio experience several years ago. around midnight it blared out some trucker talking really loudly. This was repeated the next night.
The explanation was simple: Some CB radio "enthusiasts" will build huge and dirty amplifiers on the side band of a channel to get as much range as possible. Because these transmitters are not tightly focused on a single frequency, they can play hell on TV's and radios. Why the clock radio was happy to broadcast this at us without being turned on was a bit of a mystery, but it hit the trash can the next day Big Grin

In short, no, I've never seen anything like that, nor do I believe things like that exist. 

I do not believe in the supernatural, magic, miracles, astrological signs, ghosts, demons, spirits, specters, wraiths... vampires... unicorns... fairies... magical healing properties of essential oils or crystals, the law of attraction, telekenesis, anything like that.

To me, if it isn't observable or demonstrable, there's no reason to buy into it.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.

I guess I can't prove that other atheists aren't magic. Popcorn
