[ when you refer to "miracles" do you imply that you have been singled out by God for survival? Do you attribute your survival to specific intervention by God? ]

I call miracles, miracles because I don't know what else to call them.. Maybe something else is involved.. Actually probably is.. Could be something is needed from me.. Like THIS CONVERSATION..

[ And does the converse hold? Are children dying of horrible diseases being singled out for an early painful death? ]

Your logic does not hold.. One does not result in the other.. Since no one actually DIES.. according to the Judeo christian God.. merely the flesh dies.. It could be everybody lives eternally... somewhere..

Since no one actually DIES.. according to the Judeo christian God

Then perhaps the postponement of your heavenly bliss is a punishment.
