Why no miracles anymore?

[Tonus]

In The Wholly Babble, there was nothing mysterious about the god Christians believe in. One can barely turn a page without some overt demonstration of the supernatural, from demons causing diseases to priests working magic.

Indeed, the supernatural was so common that it apparently failed to sway even a majority of people. Example: Moses starts doing his magic tricks for the Pharaoh of Egypt. The Pharaoh smirks, turns to his sorcerers, and they duplicate the early feats! What made Yahweh special in that story isn't that he performed miracles, but that his wand had more charges than those of the Egyptian gods. And after that display of majesty and power, god splits the sea so that the Israelites can pass through and makes food fall from the sky and water erupt from rocks, and what is the reaction of the awestruck people? They piss and moan about how much better things were when they were slaves.

It goes on. Jesus heals the sick? The high priests say "must be Satan." Jesus exorcises a "legion" of demons from a man? The locals are upset about their lost pigs. His own disciples tell him that they tried to stop a man who was performing miracles in his name. In other words, they saw a person performing miracles, and instead of reacting with "OMFG THAT GUY IS PERFORMING MIRACLES" their reaction is to try and get him to stop. The general public seemed pretty unimpressed with self-proclaimed gods who walk on water and raise the dead.

It seems so odd that the world was so saturated by the supernatural at one time that honest-to-goodness miracle workers were greeted with a yawn, but these days people will embark on pilgrimages because someone saw the image of the virgin mary on a piece of used toilet paper. It's like one day god realized "HOLY SHIT THEY'RE WRITING THIS STUFF DOWN" and decided that it was time to stop.
