Why do people believe in miracles?

If you believe in miracles, that must mean you beleive in a higher power. A higher power who is obviously helping some people through the workings of these miracles.

But this means that, since the higher power is able to help people, that he just lets hundreds of thousands of people die every year due to natural disasters, famine, war, disease, etc, just because, while favoring those who believe in miracles.

How do Christians and other religious people allow themselves to believe this? The idea that there is a god who readilly helps certain people, while letting thousands of innocents die is insane.

This must mean that followers of religion and believers in miracles are either too dumb to realize this, or that they just flat out do not care, which would probably send them to hell in their religion anyway.

Okay, you're on the right track.  But what do you believe in?  If you're just agnostic or atheist, that's cool.  But my point is that any and all supernatural belief is equally retarded.
