Are miracles evidence of the existence of God?

One could even make the case that, from the moment of creation, God has known who is and isn’t going to Hell. The inescapable conclusion is that God knowing creates people who are pre-damned. That’s kind of shitty of him. Boru

Well, Winter...get back to us when the world devolves into some mad max shit. Dead rising from their graves, people murdering people for cups of water, etc.
Until then...............................................................
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

If we didn't execute his knowledge through living it; then he isn't fair and and thus not worthy of worship.

 Quote:If we didn't execute his knowledge through living it; then he isn't fair and and thus not worthy of worship This is exactly what a perfectly executed indoctrination does to a human mind. We draw as many dots as necessary from any conceivable scenario until we reach the desired conclusion. The Koran is mutually exclusive with "fairness and reason" for one simple reason. Gods are created to control, not to negotiate.
No God, No fear.

It seems to me that if there really were an all-powerful Male creator God of the silly anthropomorphic kind ... it's less likely that such a God is any particular God in one of those religions---Yahweh, Jehovah, Allah---and more likely that those are just his different incarnations.
IOW, as silly as God is, if he did exist why would he stick to communicating through only one religion?
