Attributing miracles to the deity is the most common form of self-indulgence and self-agrandizement.
Usually the feats attributed have to do with punishment and deaths.
The same was said about AIDS back in the 80s. It was god's punishment against homesexuals. The same can be said about every single disease humanity has ever faced, I'm afraid.
Religions are usually predicated on the premise of fear. We are supposed to fear god, not just admire it, or respect it, mainly fear it. It is in fear where we'll find the source of our attachment to it.
Every year religious fundamentalist see signs of the apocalypse in every war, famine, and natural disaster. Every year the end of the world is near and so is the coming of the living god.
Irresponsible politicians and scientists are doing all this. One great thing god could do, though, is to rid us of these truculent evil doers, not wait until millions of innocents are killed so that some fearful soul can learn the lesson.
