People have witnessed to these things here before and all that happened is that it invites a deluge to try and explain them away.

Although we (or most of us) are talking about the end of human civilization and the coming of the anti-Christ and the signs of the coming end, it sort of seems like we're forgetting (or not mentioning/not making it seem like) about what God has done for us (miracles, etc.), and I don't think that God gets enough thanks for everything that he's done for us. So, what unexplained things have happened to you guys that is miraculous?

One of the problems is that when you say miracles people think of stuff from the Old Testament like seas parting and pillars of fire and all that. Such things don't seem to occur any more and the miracles that do occur can be explained by science and or human action. So what has God done for us then that you can prove?

I believe but am an endless skeptic and some things absolutely rock my faith. For example the scandals about the Catholic priests, as long as I have lived people have joked about priests fiddling little boys and when it comes out as being true (or is it just another lie to attack Christians?) the church seems to do almost nothing. How can an all powerful God allow his most sacred representatives and his largest church to do this and get off almost scott free? What a stain on Christianity.
