That probably explains why all the miracles have been a case of diminishing returns since the big epic stuff at the beginning. Universe from literally nothing - fucking showstopper. How do you top that? Rib woman - meh, not quite as impressive. I mean, new life and all, but somehow lacking in ambition.
Then all the plagues and natural disasters - seriously? That the best you got?
Water into wine - a decent home brew kit can get you that. Now it's just getting desperate.
By the time we get to "God" writing its name inside fruit and doodling its face on toast, it's like a flash-in-the-pan pop star, trying to rediscover that original magic and never managing to work it out. Next stop, a lonely, drug-ridden death in a seedy, piss stained basement lit by a single bare bulb.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
