Miracles and Anti-supernaturalism

[Minimalist]

Father La Salle:

He travelled to Japan as a missionary in 1929 and became interested in that country's Buddhist practices. In 1940, he became the vicar of Hiroshima, and on 6 August 1945 he was critically wounded by the nuclear blast in that city. Shortly thereafter, he returned to Germany.

Strike two.

And Strike 3.

Also from Hiroshima by Hersey.

Just then, the two other priests living in the mission
house appearedFather Cieslik, unhurt, supporting
Father Schifier, who was covered with blood that
spurted from a cut above his left ear and who was
very pale. Father Cieslik was rather pleased with
himself, for after the flash he, had dived into a doorway,

which he had previously reckoned to be the safest
place inside the building, and when the blast came, he
was not injured. Father LaSalle told Father Cieslik to
take Father Schiffer to a doctor before he bled to death,

The one who was unhurt...Father Cieslik...had to assist the supposedly uninjured Schiffer. Shortly above this passage it explains that Cieslik was feeling awful from a stomach problem and parked his ass on a chair with a pillow over his stomach. Guess god can't handle a stomach virus as well as an atom bomb, eh? In any case, none of them were fucking praying but Cieslik dove into the doorway which is hardly miraculous and probably indicates that he paid attention to Jesuit lectures on surviving artillery fire.
