"Here's where it gets good. Belief in these mystical powers will get people to blindly follow. People who see Barak Obama for the first time are instantly converted-he's the second coming. Me I'll wait until he turns the water into wine so that we can all get drunk."

A desperately fallacious analogy. Obama neither did miracles (but needed some) while if he did then you would have to determine the source. As a total libertarian and presumably an atheist, your problem (and it is) is first that you reject the supernatural, and thus can only imagine that an infinitely vast, irreducibly complex yet ordered (thus disorder is manifest an aberration) universe and all that is in it - including the DNA of man - came to be by natural means, and chance, without a supreme mighty intelligence who could create matter out of nothing.

Talk about something hard to believe.

However, if such an entity exists then why would healing a Sal Mineo to walk in a second be a problem? At least some atheists allow for aliens who perhaps could do so. Your next problem is that documented miracles abound, by the grace of God, such as the videos here:

Be back later, by the grace of God..

Regarding the specific medical "miracles" you listed in your posting:

Can you cite counter-examples? I.e., people who devoutly believed and prayed and yet were not cured?

I would expect that there are quite a few such cases.

Further, can you cite examples of people belonging to other confessions (Buddhist, Hindu, etc.) who prayed to their deity and were miraculously healed?

Again: I would expect that there are quite a few such cases.

What does that tell us?
