😊 The same way I do anything written by people 2000 years ago and translated multiple times by multiple cultures that I have no direct experience with. I take it as an opportunity to learn someone else’s perspective on the world and reflect on my own. I don’t have any empirical way to confirm or reject the truth of it and I don’t try to. A lot of cultures claim miracles and although I acknowledge that God is mysterious and unknowable from my small vantage point, so far I haven’t seen anything that diverges from the physical laws God clearly upholds. Only thing that has come close is experiences with psychedelics but I have no way of proving that isn’t just a chemical induced illusion so I don’t put much weight in it. Life itself feels like a miracle but one we all get equal access to so no divine prerequisite to that experience. Don’t know. Maybe I’m jaded.
