Miracles are non-events. They don't exist.

Wow, thanks for clearing that up. With all those holy texts and big books written by God one could easily get an impression that God had some sort of a contract with people to help them in exchange for faith, but now I see it's all just random fun for God.
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"
