Default Miracle In Libya

When 103 of 104 die, that one is a miracle in my view.

i'd call it a miracle if the plane had landed intact and no one died. the hand of god, saving the plane. but that's just me.

To me a miracle is when there is no other explaination for an action other than God. This kid could have simply been lucky.

Now Obama and Al Gore winning Nobel Peace Prizes? Those were miracles!

That's not a machine gun! It's a semi-auto! The media is pulling the wool over your eyes!
