I never understood the "logic" that if you can verify that the bible (or whatever book you like) is accurate in some historical facts, then all the superstitious nonsense must also be true. There probably was an individual named Jesus who lived around that time, and clearly some of the locations discussed in the bible actually existed. That shouldn't be surprising, most of it was written within a few generations of the time being discussed and based on a mixture of verbal stories, good story telling, and a desire to show that prophecies were being actualized in the authors' lifetimes. It probably tells you more about the individuals who wrote it than anything else.

That's like deciding that a Stephen King novel must be factually correct because it includes some references to locations in Maine that can be verified on a map.

I have no problem with people who want to believe in magic, but please don't insult my intelligence by trying to "prove" it with faulty logic.
