In response to Malachi Hamavet about miracles: it appears you are an agnostic on the subject of miracles - would that be fair to say? I have one to offer you and I would like your guess as to the possibility factor of coincidence in this. Before I start I should let you know I am a Christian and therefore we differ in some things but the God we believe in is the same, although viewed differently in some aspects, and He is all-powerful. This in itself allows for miracles.

I have a broken relationship which I am trying to repair in which my Lady is very troubled and bitter concerning things which have happened in her life and God. She did not possess the Word of God in paper form and it was my heartfelt desire to buy her a leatherbound giant print Bible upon which I could inscribe her name. She has 1/2 her sight in one eye only and cannot read a regular print one even with a magnifier.

Upon going to purchase one I found the one I wanted to be far beyond my means and I was disheartened. Now here comes the miracle: without even praying the next Monday I walked into the church office and on the counter was a brand new leatherbound giant print Bible. No one at the church knew I needed it - a lady whom I didn't even know at the time dropped it off saying she had never used it and just felt someone needed it. Of course they gave it to me for my Lady. Possible coincidence? Maybe. What came next takes it beyond the realm of probability.

I had wanted to use a particular script for the imprinting and I asked the pastor if he knew of a store which could imprint which might have it. It turned out that he had recently purchased an imprinter from a store which went out of business, and upon looking, it had the exact type I wanted to use.

These two things in themselves substantiate God's active working, but the greatest miracle is that He gave us a written word to reveal His care for us in providing a salvation. We differ on whether that salvation has been accomplished yet but not on the fact that He promised it and will accomplish what He promised. Not only did He have to give us that written word in order for what I described to have happened, it was apparently directed to one individual - showing personal concern and care by the God we believe in.

You may choose to remain agnostic in the face of evidence like this if you choose, as it didn't happen to you - for me it would be blasphemous to doubt such an obvious miracle. In addition I would not attempt to decry other apparent or claimed miracles unless I knew them to be false beyond a doubt - I would fear the reaction of the God I claim to believe in to my arbitrary doubt and unbelief.

I believe that we live in an incredible universe that is based on a creators thoughts, but that it is all governed by laws of nature that were put in the place from the start. I do not claim to know this amazing God, nor that I would even be able to comprehend this being due to the limitations on my knowledge. If this God is LOVE, then it makes no sense to me that God would help some and ignore so many others. I was raised as a Catholic, and so many good things in my life I attributed to God...Two great parents, a nice house, vacations, an education, but then as I grew older, I began, more and more, to see the incredible advanteages that I had over most of the world! I did not do anything to have such a comfortable life while many others suffered. I had prayed and received meaningless material consumer goods while God did not answer the fervent prayers of mothers and fathers in third world countries for food to feed their babies! I have listened to people pray to Saint Anthony to find a lost credit card or wallet...It turns up and they are on their knees in thanksgiving. It does not follow what I have experienced. Miraculous things have happened to me, but I do not see them the way I once did. I must be the miracle for others...A figure in the sky is not going to magically do it! We must look into our spirits and make the miracles! I think god is there...not just in the hearts of Christians but in all those who love regardles of their beliefs. When we all accept this, only then will the miracle of peace happen!
