** Breaking News** Do you believe in MIRACLES?

Why do these always turn into this kind of crap? Why is it necessary to tell the OP what your persoal beliefs are? What is so dificult in just saying, "good for you!" and moving on?
He believes God was involved. So what? Does it threaten anyone's atheism to read those words?
Honestly, probably because this stripped the agency of the young woman who did a good deed. How could it possibly threaten someone's atheism? People probably pointed it out (as seen in this thread, with both Christians and Atheists) that it was clearly the young woman who helped because it seemed strange to attribute the good deed to someone else, be it the Christian God, Zeus or Vishnu. Sure, the OP gave her $20 and said thank you, but she seems to be the afterthought in this story in favor of something else.

I am glad you got your keys back
I am also glad MFP discourages/prohibits talk of religion on the forums... as this is going to end up a total clusterf*ck in 3...2...1...
Lmao!
If I wanted it to be about religion I would've posted it with a picture of the cross on my back (it's a tattoo).
I don't get caught up in who believes and who doesn't believe. I have friends who do not go to church. I still pray for them. I don't need their permission to do that.0 -

It negates the good deed of the individual who found his keys because the "goodness" is attributed to a higher power rather than being seen as an example of the benefits of helping each other out.0 -
Nor should you0

That's awesome! Someone jacked my crappy coat with my key fob back in March. No idea who has it or where it is, I am saving up some cash to pay for a replacement. God is good though, I'm sure I'll find a way. I also need to stop cursing the person who took my coat.0

You specifically talked about god and jesus. That makes it about religion. You wanted it to be about religion, not about how someone went out of their way to return your keys and you got a great calorie burn.0 -

You know how hypocritical that is right? OP told me his beliefs, so I told him mine.
And no, only facts would "threaten" my lack of belief in any gods.
It didn't have to turn into this but I don't take kindly to condescending comments such as the one OP made.
Here's a question I pose to anyone reading this....
Who do I love more a Christian or an atheist?
I love them both the same. The end.
This is how you express your love "Hey congrats you are an atheist! Hope you are right for your eternal sake! Lol ".0 -
No. Not even a little bit.0

I think this just proves not all people are *kitten*. Not sure how this relates to the all mighty creator hypothesis.
Totally killed my joy. Shoo!
No need to have your joy killed! I believe that GOD brought my keys back to me. I prayed that they would and they did.
Hey congrats you are an atheist! Hope you are right for your eternal sake! Lol
Ahh yes that condescending line.
Let's just hope you chose the correct god out of THOUSANDS.
Lol believeing in god is like a lottery.0 -

Not only is she not an afterthought, but she has reached out to me several times since yesterday in regards to furthering her career. She is in IT and I am helping her look for a position that will advance her career.
I don't believe in coincidences. There is a reason my God, who is 1 of a 1,000 I guess, answered my prayers. See even finding keys as small as it seems is a blessing to me.
I am not sure why it's important to question my faith. The woman who found the keys MAY be an atheist but WHAT does that have to do with me praying and being blessed by her actions?0 -

And OP, God is Good!! Always looking out for us!0 -
You had some good luck there. But I prefer to believe that God has bigger fish to fry than helping you find your lost keys. :flowerforyou:0
-
Ooof, really, folks???
I believe in miracles. The chances of that lady seeing your keys, taking the time to pick them up and turn them in, having enough ID on them to be able to get them back to you, and it happening all in one day, was a whole lot of miracle going on.
And thank G-d for nice people, too.0 -
I do believe in miracles, I've experienced some really big ones in my life. And see a thousand tiny ones every day.
Love you bigCed.

I contend that we're both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do.0 -

This reminds me of this:
An elderly lady was well-known for her faith and for her boldness in talking about it. She would stand on her front porch and shout “PRAISE THE LORD!”
Next door to her lived an atheist who would get so angry at her proclamations he would shout, “There ain’t no Lord!!”
Hard times set in on the elderly lady, and she prayed for GOD to send her some assistance. She stood on her porch and shouted “PRAISE THE LORD. GOD I NEED FOOD!! I AM HAVING A HARD TIME. PLEASE LORD, SEND ME SOME GROCERIES!!”
The next morning the lady went out on her porch and noted a large bag of groceries and shouted, “PRAISE THE LORD.”
The neighbor jumped from behind a bush and said, “Aha! I told you there was no Lord. I bought those groceries, God didn’t.”
The lady started jumping up and down and clapping her hands and said, “PRAISE THE LORD. He not only sent me groceries, but He got an Atheist to pay for them. Praise the Lord!”
God works through EVERYONE!0
