Is This Atheist Incapable of Research?

Or what, exactly, is going on?  This piece shows a disturbing inability to Google or bestir oneself to go, find a practicing Catholic of the sort who, you know, likes stories of saints and miracles, and sit and listen for a while.

Even if this were a miracle, it would only reinforce a disturbing long-term trend. God used to be able to part seas and flood planets. By the end of the Old Testament he was turning people into pillars of salt and Aaron's rod into a snake. At the time of Jesus, God our omnipotent deity was basically down to party tricks, and now, what, easing an old man's backache for a few months? It's hardly the swaggering, all-conquering God of the glory days.

So what's happened? Are we not devout enough? Is God getting old? Has he lost interest? Are his powers subject to some form of spiritual entropy, leaving him hot and spent in heaven? Perhaps this worrying decline in God's powers is what the Vatican's crack team of miracle investigators should really be researching.

Among many, many others: Saint Padre Pio.
Lourdes.
Fatima.
And--though dodgy and unverified--Medjurgorje. Cause after the umpteenth report of a dancing sun, I throw my hands up in the air and say, "SOMETHING weird is happening here."
