I respect people who have religious beliefs, but I've always disliked people using "inexplicable events" as justification for belief in God. If there is a God, and he really does "love everyone equally", then why would he randomly decide to throw down a few miracles for some people while letting everyone else die horribly?

I think The Bible was just a book of metaphors that were attempting to explain life and existence, back when folklore/myths were how things were explained. God is just a personification of the potential for life that exists in the functions and particles of the universe, which is something that ancient people could observe by seeing the circle of life in action (which probably explains why old religions have such a hard-on for dust and clay, which all things "come from" and inevitably "become". This is just an observation of the common origin and destination of all living things, albeit attributed to "God" rather than "Matter").
