In my experience...

I have never seen anyone walk on water or raise up out of their grave after death. I've never seen Santa and his reindeer fly across the sky, either. I would think most people would tend to doubt such outlandish claims or stories, unless they have been taught to or have some kind of emotional reason or investment in doing so... such as fear of death, consequences, or reality they don't want to face or accept. You can believe whatever you want, or whatever makes you feel better in what you hope for... but that doesn't make your beliefs, hopes or opinions true any more than anyone else's. At least "fence sitters" don't have such hubris to claim that they 'know' what they do not know.
