My guess is it comes down to the materialistic and nominalistic (as opposed to realistic) underpinnings of their weltanschauung and the misunderstanding of time.

As my wife says to me when I say "Achtung!" don't spik German to me! ;-P

Though, thanks to handy-dandy translate.google.com I see that "weltanschauung" = "belief"

I don't completely understand the entire concept of saying "God don't work miracles any more -- it's over, done, kaput"

It’s akin to the RC’s saying that God only does certain things through the edifice and the hierarchy, the magicsterical etc.
