Well I jus leg people believe in what they want to believe, even if its horribly obscure and absurd I will let them believe it because there are things I believe in that are horribly absurd too. So what I always say is.
"Let people believe what they wan to because no matter this dumb or idiotic it may seem, our beliefs are probably dumb and idiotic in their mind too"

It is not that people believing obscure and unreal things is bad, it is if they start teaching others that what they believe is the definite truth, when in fact it isn't.
Well I am still gonna believe in what I believe no matter how dumb or idiotic it may seem. If people say it isn't real I can always. Say that I think it is because freedom of belief is a thing.

You can sit in the garage all night and believe you are a Chevrolet but it won't make you an automobile.
hard to determine if a spell is "fake" or not. I just think that all spells are legit as long as you know it's going to work. all spells need a level of belief for it to work. I believe that anything is possible if you truly believe. most people make their own spells, and those spells often work for them, but when someone who thinks that the spell won't work because it's "not possible" then it's obviously not going to work

They mean spells like, "become a duck", these kind of spells are not possible no matter how much you believe in them. Magick still follows laws, and you cannot change your genetic code via magick, therefore it is not possible.
yes there are things like transformation and other things like that. they are not possible for us humans. and its rather obnoxious as well to think that you can turn into a duck (like really who would think that) but say if we were in our spirit forms instead of our human bodies. then shape shifting would possibly be possible
"Faith can move mountains". as our would becomes more advanced in technology, the farther away we get from our spiritual and natural magick. sure people make up spells because their bored, and yes those spells may not work but that doesn't mean that they are impossible.

Yes some people do believe that you can shift form in the astral plane, but that is a practice and not a spell. The original poster of this forum was questioning why the fantasy section of the site is there if the spells that make it up are fake. The spells in the fantasy section are mainly transformation spells, which are impossible no matter how much you believe.
The main reason for these spells are for foot traffic. There are many people on this site who practice real magic, but many more are those who want a quick fix spell or to do great things like in whatever movie they just watched. If you will notice the second largest section for spells is love spells. The sites spell section caters to the needs of the majority. There are those who seriously wish to learn but believe such things are possible thanks to Hollywood, so this site may draw them in because of the fantasy section, but they stay to learn in the forums. Sure it's sad, and I personally would like the non-working spells gone, but this system works just fine for the site administrator, so unless the spell is physically dangerous, get use to them.
With this said, not all the spells in the fantasy section are pure hogwash. There are those who believe mythological creatures like fairy's and dragons are spiritual beings who are called on and semi-worshipped similar to a deity. There are spells who call on these creatures for blessings, protections, luck, and many other working spells. So there are some good spells in with the nonsense if you look. It's best to study and draw your own conclusion. If you feel these spells are too much, you could try teaching others, but I don't know how many would like to listen.
