Sheesh, so what's wrong with miracles happening? And they do happen, usually to man's benefit!!! God is not bound by the laws He built into creation.
I just don't understand why some people hate God so much, as this Lewis Beck seems to do. What causes a man to turn away from the Light, and to put his faith in a grotesque reductionism?
Plus I'm sure Beck is dead wrong to think that "anyone who could believe in God could believe in anything." I would say the polar opposite of this statement would be the actual truth of the matter. Thanks so much for writing, A-G.
Or to put it another way, people are frequently not-Muslim, not-Buddist etc. but rarely does it satisfy them to be not-Christian. Many actually become anti-Christ.
So in their own malignity they confirm the Word and our Christian faith. It is altogether an amazing thing to observe!
