That's fine, but I'm telling you from a Catholic perspective where these things are very real.

Oh ya, from a Catholic perspective I get that the power to do all those things is placed in God. My point is just that with an omnipotent being like that I find it equally as plausible to see the bunny with the basket of chocolates as the all powerful lord and the guy with the long hair and the robe as the fiction of the imagination.
I mean it all comes from what are essentially campfire stories passed down over many generations, so buying into the details has always seemed a bit bizarre to me. I think the message often gets lost due to childish battles over details, which is probably why I don't agree with modern organized religion.
