This supposed miracle represents the essence of Christian mentality: the miracle in which Jesus helped one group of people slaughter other group of people. And in the mean time they insist Jesus is all about love and that we shouldn't read the parts of Bible where Jesus (and his dad in OT) orders people to do vile, genocidal things, while at the same time they celebrate Jesus for doing these same vile things.
One group of people slaughtering another is no miracle. It would be a miracle if cross appeared and they all threw away their weapons, made peace and united, but no.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
