Someone coming to the conclusion that something is bullshit does not make it bullshit. Someone having an opinion does not instantaniously make it a fact.
Therefore, my beliefs are just that... My opinion and I would not expect anyone to believe them just because I say so.
Now then, this I can respect but with that in mind, why the hell would you make statements like:
Magic? Yeah it exists. Anyone can practice it, not everyone is good at it. You either have it or you do not... [yadda yadda] ... Can I prove that it exists? To some. In person. Yes. On the fucking internet? Probably not.
if you are on the internet? How are you expecting people to react if you say things like that? It's like me saying I'm a ninth grade, traditionally trained insanely lethal ninja who trained all my life in the isolated mountains of rural Japan 'til I came to England... but I can't prove it on the internet. At worst you're inviting skepticism, at best people can only give you the benefit of the doubt but still not comment (since 99.9% of us here aren't magick practitioners or feudal ninjas, so what could we possibly offer?).
p.s I am not actually a ninth grade ninja; my ninja skillz r mediocre @ best

All people who believe that God "created the world" from nothing and did so by saying "let their be light" etc believe in magic and they don't even realize it.
They believe God came and cast a spell that created the universe, so they really have no room to criticize you for believing in magic either.
Only if you operate in a world where magic = the supernatural. I suppose you could treat it that way, but typically magic refers to the drawing on or channeling of external powers. That in no way describes a creationist perspective of the power of God. You grossly oversimplify.

Magic cannot possible be non-supernatural, since it is in principle unpredictable.
