We are now in the Hanukkah season. At this time Jewish people celebrate a "miracle".... an occasioon when a one day supply of oil miraculously lasted for EIGHT DAYS!
Is this the lamest "miracle" ever? You mean to tell me that, instead of doing something that will actually help people, your deity wastes his incredible powers by making oil burn longer than it should?
Gee, I'm impressed!
This is a trick not even worthy of a third rate magician!
And this is THE ONLY POSSIBLE explanation for why the oil lasted for 8 days? Isn't it more likely that they simply miscalculated how much oil they had? Or that they set the lamp to burn very slowly, making the oil last longer? Or that someone added more oil to the lamp without telling anybody?
No! Obviously it was the work of God!
What is your opinion of this "miracle"? And can you think of a dumber supposed "miracle"?

Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
