It's a convenient way to stop thinking. If someone witnessed an amazing, wondrous event and offered
"MAGIC!" as the explanation, he'd be seen as a fucking idiot. If a different person that witnessed the same event replaced the word "MAGIC" with "JESUS", they'd be seen as a respectable religious person. Problem being, there just isn't really a difference between the two explanations.
JESUS = MAGIC
