There are times in all of out lives when something that feels like it could be a god appears to intervene in out behalf. But, of course, the idea defies logic and can be explained away in much more rational terms than invoking sky daddy. For the most part, we should be able to conclude that being given the gift of "salvation" is a human condition we invented to comfort ourselves. As for miracles--I am sure "god" did not make it so I survived a car crash while handing some 4-year-old leukemia.
Nor did he enable those Hollywood stars and Football players to achieve those awards. Watching them walk the red carpet, with the homeless man in the background is proof of that. Like I said, somewhere along the line God was replaced with a Genie who grants wishes.
Understandable a thousand years ago, not so much now. We got gullible, brainwashed posters ..posting 1500 year old passages from the Koran like it means something for all of us.
Its not sad, its funny ..the lengths our imaginations can take us, even in 2020, its hilarious.
