Nice disclaimer. You're obviously a believer; how're those miracle sightings going for you?
Plus, this isn't so much miracle seeking as it is simply observing the absence of said miracles. When asked where they are, you turn around and call us adulterous. How nice of you.
So if only the true believers can partake in miracles, why did the armies of Pharaoh witness the parting of the Red Sea? How many of those freed Israeli slaves do you think had true faith in Moses and their god? How many people with only a speck of faith do you think partook of the wine that Jesus turned from water? How many people do you think would have noticed Lazarus suddenly up and waltzing about again after being three-days stone cold dead? Are you suggesting that all those who sought to see the risen Lazarus were a bunch of miracle-seeking adulterous boobs?
This. This right here is why you cannot rely on scripture; its words will inevitably fail you as it's myriad authors could not fully anticipate the complexity of the human condition.
