With all due respect for the theistic community, this is one of the reasons I count myself as an atheist. From religious writings (all of them) God, or the gods used to be everywhere. The way things are written, its like you couldn't walk ten feet without a holy intervention. Then, as the scientific method, and reliable recording devices, were developed, its like the supernatural is less and less involved in our lives. My personal theory is that miracles, and the religions that say they exist, are the imaginary play-pals from childhood. As we grow older as a species, we need them less and less. Eventually (I hope) we will grow out of them and accept the mantle of our responsibility.
