Can your religion create these miracles?

[silver_surfer]

A miracle is by definition a violation of the laws of nature and therefore must be supernatural. The truth is if miracles happened as often as they are claimed we wouldn't be able to do scientific research, gambling houses would have to close, ambulances would rush to churches and mosques instead of hospitals, doctors would go broke. A large portion of the population hates and fears reality. It is too harsh, too unforgiving and deadly. Reality promises to kill you (a promise it always keeps) whereas miracles and magic promise you eternal life and unearned riches. People tend to believe in miracles and fear reality for good reason.

Well, it is not for you to say to God how many times he should show miracles to people. And it's quite ignorant to draw such conclusions as you have. By now we know for a fact that miracles have occurred and do occur. And actually far more regularly than imagine. Perhaps because they are not present in your own life. Miracles are not un-reality. They are real. It's part of reality. You cannot box God in, he is above and outside the laws of nature, and can violate them whenever he wants.

I believe in miracles because scripture states they happened. I have never seen one but I hope to someday. I agree with you, God can interfere and can miraculously change someone for his purpose and will. Belief opens the door of possibilities.
