I appologize that i'm only dealing with Christianity with this thread, simply because I do not know what other religions have to say on the subject.

I've always been puzzled by the fact that in biblical times, God and Jesus, on countless occasions performed such blatant miracles that anyone who witnessed them would believe in the creator or at least bow down in respect.

These " blatant miracles " , as I like to call them, pretty much stop when the Bible ends.

Can anybody explain why feeding 5000 thousand starving people with minimal fish and bread, and other miracles such as these, which are sorely needed in today's day and age, no longer happen?

A rational mind would come to the conclusion that the blatant miracles were in fact, made up. Why would a God, so eager earlier on in his hay day, flex his muscles without even blinking, and now, radically decides to stop these types of miracles and make his believers run on blind faith?

This thread is not intended to mock Christianity. I am simply looking for other view points.
