It is UNNATURAL for people to believe in God, to believe in Christ, and to believe in the Holy Bible; therefore, in order for people to believe in these three, something SUPERNATURAL must happen.
To believe in religion, however, is NATURAL for people because religion is of man and not of God; therefore, to believe in religion, nothing SUPERNATURAL needs to happen.
Religion is like a baseball field: built it, and people will come to satisfy their natural curiosity in a natural habitat built by natural man.
In truth, people are born without religion; so then, religion is like a pair of shoes that is given to people when they are children, or even when they are babies, and usually from the parents: which means that children inherit hand-me-down religion, just as children inherit hand-me-down shoes and clothes. This, then, is how people make family religions, which can extend across hundreds of years because religion is a natural fit for natural minds.
Religion is not tailor made; instead, one size fits all. And children in families are taught to wear it well because the family name is on the garment, which needs to go to the next generation.
Many people, however, are not born in families that have a family religion; but, when they grow up and see how popular religion is, they want one. So they go shopping: church to church, religion to religion, philosophy to philosophy: until, at last, they find the store that has the garment of their liking. They like the feel, and they like the look they see in the mirror. They sign the register, pay the fees, buy the books, and off they go. Now all they need is an audience to see them in their religion, in their latest fashion garment: which, to them, is NATURAL and not SUPERNATURAL.
Obviously, religion is something borrowed: as people of religion die, they leave their garment behind, for it will not fit in the SUPERNATURAL world beyond the grave.
The Holy Spirit of God is the witness to the events in the Holy Bible, and the words of the Bible are SUPERNATURAL:
This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. (Matthew 17: 5)
