They conjure up spirits like any wizard. They believe that they can surpass matter and that no other living organism has either freewill or a soul. Actual freewill is pretty much a magic power because that means you can make a choice and it not come from anything physical, no brain chemicals or neurons. (If it were physical, it would simply follow causal laws of physics.)
What else? Our sins manifest diseases. We co-existed with dinosaurs and we're still able to build cities. (Did we build fences to keep dinosaurs out?) We ate a magic fruit after talking to a magic snake. Apparently, you can't not want to murder/torture people unless you're Christian. And they can write the Bible for God but only in doses. If there was just one human author of the Bible instead of more than 50, that would be too much to write in a lifetime.

Just because you do not believe does not mean you should mock those who do. Grow up.

The fact that I can't summon up 1 million dollars and quit my job. :)
I have never actually come across a fellow christian who can summon up a spirit or cast a magical spell. We believe that if we pray earnestly for something, and if God wishes us to have it, he'll show us how to get it.
Surpassing matter? not so much, our soul will pass beyond this world and be with the creator.
Free will isn't a magic power, it's a gift from a loving God, who desires for your to follow your heart and live a better life.
Sins don't manifest diseases, that's caused by not taking care of yourself.
Magic Fruit? No, just an apple, or pomegranate.
Magic Snake? No, that was just Satan in disguise.
We did not co-exist along with dinosaurs. If we had, there wouldn't be any of us around today.
Christians don't murder/torture people today. Usually it's the other way around. Muslims cut off people's heads and rape women, and have mass graves.
Christians believe in freedom and justice, and are just as upset about tales of torture as the next person.
The bible is the inspired word of god, written over several thousand, if not million years. 50 people had to write it, (and there were more, trust me,) because there's no way one person could live that long and write it.

The "writers" of the Bible didn't realize their work would be conjoined with the work of other writers and put in the canon of the Bible. They each felt inflluenced by God in their writing. As far as what we believe... I'm sure some of it challenges the practical thinker, but God doesn't have to make sense to you, if you seek Him, you will find Him. BTW, not all Christians join in the belief that the world is only 6k years old, stop generalizing.

<----- i could be a Tianlong dragon. Tianlong or Tien-lung ("heaven dragon") are the celestial dragons who pull the chariots of the gods and shield their places. The chinese language dragon is likely considered one of the main severe creatures in chinese language mythology. The Tianlong dragon is seen to be the main effective and divine creature. in assessment to the Dragon of Western mythology, chinese language dragons are standard for his or her means to fly (regardless of out wings), their means to shape shift (a Tianlong dragon could make themselves as super because of the fact the universe or as small as a silk computer virus), and their benevolence in direction of mankind. The dragon symbolized super potential and alter into very supportive of heroes and gods. In chinese language mythology, dragons are believed to have the means to create clouds with their breath, and are the main considerable controllers of the climate besides as non secular classes and instructors of morality...that's what i could be : )

You are very misinformed and ignorant concerning Christians. Educate yourself on the subject before posting questions such as these.
