Miracle???

"That is a miracle." This is a comment that is often heard from people of faith who justify every "amazing" things that have occurred in their lives. Also, it is an opportunity for them to "thank the grace of god" with every chance they have. I remembered having this friend in NUS who would "thank god" for giving her good grades every time she did well on a test or exam. I tried to explain it to her once that wasn't her effort and work more of a reason why she did well on the test, and was chastised for being a cynic and someone who does not understand the mysterious workings of god. 

This is a very old clip from The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, where he pokes fun of people who invoke the word "miracle" in the context of god.
