that "miracles" performed by regular people are done because that person is just a good person and not because some deity told them to? I don't need anybody else, least of all some nonexistant deity, to tell me what's right or wrong. I call that common sense, common courtesy, and common respect, all of which are quite uncommon, aren't they?

A miracle is something that happens when God intervenes in the time-space continuum and defies natural laws and principles to bring about an occurrence unaccounted for in those laws and principles. A regular person cannot perform a miracle because a person is bound by the laws and principles of the time-space continuum.

Ah, but how do you know that your common sense, common courtesy, and common respect doesn't come from the "nonexistant" deity? A reason why common sense, common courtesy, and common respect is uncommon is IMHO because people tend to degenerate into beasts when left alone. Maybe we have common sense, common courtesy, and common respect because the abovementioned deity helps us to have them.

Perhaps you mean that people who are non believers in any Deity can be good and loving people and do thing that are self sacrificing. I suspect that is what you mean by a "miracle".
Let me ask you this: Many people who do not have any religious faith are very good, loving, kind and helpful people. Many such people have and do contribute greatly to humanity. Do you think it might be possible that it is the nature of the human to be Loving? That when people are mature human beings that it is their nature to do for others? Perhaps there is a blueprint in each of us, that if we search and know ourselves we find and follow. That is, IMO, the image of God within each of us.

try figuring out why we are here, for what reason. Nothing in nature requires the presence of humans! Where did you come from before coming here, where will you go when you leave here.
Nothing that humans do support or is relevant to any thing else in existence, so why?
Things do not just come out of no place. Humans cannot create anything. We might take things that are in existence and change their appearance, but we cannot create new entities.
The force that created all that we see, and experience we call GOD, GOD because humans cannot do it.
How small we are, to think that humans are the all of life.

You are a regular person and I hope you are also good. Tell us the miracles you have done? If you can do so that will be common.

I agree. . . I also think some people need a god b/c they are not independent enough to rely on themselves and the power within them.

We are creatures that not only adhere to the physical laws of this world, but are slave to it.
Anything unusual that breaks the rules is outside those laws. Creatures cannot break the laws that bind them. The one who makes those laws can.
