Well, I'm not sure that doubling down on miracles is really the best way to go about demonstrating that -even one- miracle actually occurred. I would like to see, when you say things like "you see" but I just don't. I can't even begin to analyze this claim because it's being put out as an empty shell.
"Miracles and stuff happen, to people, you know, like things that are hard to explain, nothing in particular...but alot of the time......"
Can you see why this might be confusing?
Also, about the whole "it aint happening without faith" bit - how can you honestly tell me that? If you can explain away all these little things then why can't it be happening without faith? The same fortune could be shining in my direction on any given moment and I have no faith. That's possible, is it not? What's important here, is that it's happening (whatever it is), right? I wouldn't put that part of the claim in jeopardy just for a chance to recite some theology bud.
