If miracle exist, couldn't they be harmfull?
For instance, when a hundred people die in a plane crash and one survives, we claim that it's a miracle. How about the 100 dead? Whay isn't that a miracle too?

Indeed. The Israelites saw the parting of the Red Sea as a miracle and a blessing. The pursuing Egyptian army did not see the closing of the Red Sea as a blessing.
I don't believe the story, but it's an illustration of your point. A miracle for one is often a curse for another.

If a hundred people die in a plane crash that is a tragedy. But the one who survives is a miracle. No one is saying the dead people are a miracle, they are saying the fact that one survived is a miracle.

This is one that really bothers me. Katrina comes in and kills thousands of people, yet people flock to Religion for saving their lives; following Religious logic, wasn't it God that killed those folks (the good and the bad ones)?
I agree; why dosen't God get the blame for for the harm "he" causes as well as the "good" that happens?
