Does faith in miracles make God?

Maria Robinson2 said:They don't exactly come in my name; they sort of drag themselves along—you know how it goes—she’s present, but he isn't really there (not quite)—exchanging thoughts at a picnic, if you want to call that kind of maneuvering "tactics."

I'd bet they heard what you said. Maybe save the iron—let it wait until things get heated when they swing by to do the ironing. Then we can see what kind of disbelief they've managed to cause, God knows.

Don't worry, God is right there with you...

That would certainly produce a miracle far more significant than the 'miracles' mentioned in that link—though, I suppose, it happens quite often in daily life.
It’s somewhat similar to those 'lost souls'—which don't actually exist, since they're really just ghosts.

Just take a look at this recent story about the local festival riders and their protector... Our Lady of Sinj saved them all.
Honestly, back then, if anyone tried to act purely rational, they would’ve been wiped out instantly.
Religion wasn't just a side note; it was baked right into warfare and the very structure of the state.
What actually defines a miracle, other than the human desperation that makes earthly logic feel pretty insignificant?
Miracles—or even just certain circumstances—are all interconnected in a long chain of events.
A "miracle" is basically a religious tool used to give a specific event a sense of uniqueness compared to everything else.
It assigns massive importance to things based on almost nothing. It provides a single point of motivation.

it doesn't have to be a religious thing... any unexplained wonder hits hard whether you believe in God or not...

Miracles are nothing more than illusions until you shine the light of actual knowledge upon them. In that sense, "miracles" don't truly exist.
The more KNOWLEDGE we acquire, the fewer "miracles" remain.
Otherwise, they’re just scams targeting the naive.

There exists a rare kind of individual possessed by such an immense love for all living things that they hold the power to call someone back from the brink—provided that soul hasn't been departed from this world for more than four days.
History tells us that such people have indeed successfully brought others back to life.

Take, for instance, a legendary occurrence in ancient Rome during the first century. The daughter of a powerful Roman leader had passed away, and a long-haired, bearded man dressed in white appeared. At the direct request of the leader of Rome, who pleaded for help, this man performed a miracle and restored her to life right before a massive crowd of onlookers.
Yet, in a tragic turn of events, that very same man was later put on trial in Rome, accused of blasphemy for attempting to pose as a god among men.

It truly is a strange thing about human nature; we often beg for a miracle when we are desperate, only to turn around and condemn the very person who answered our prayers.
