Bad theology is scary and hurtful. We live in a world where evil happens and there are consequences for sin. However, we do not have a God who “miraculously” saves one person and instead sacrifices another.

Our God is a God on the cross who is present when a classroom of children are slaughtered and when assassins aim at the powerful and kill the bystander. Be careful when you call something a miracle when it results in pain or death  for another person. That is cruel.

A miracle would be a country without easily accessible weapons of war to kill, where politicians would have the  courage to stand up to do the right thing and not ignore the consequences of their availability.
