i.e.
Answered prayers are proof of God's existence; but unanswered prayers can not be proof of the nonexistence of God...
People surviving horrible ordeals are proof of God's mercy; but the countless others that do not survive can not be proof God is not merciful...
etc.

Any believers find themselves doing this from time to time?

Cool thing about it is that, that way of thinking will eventually bring you to a sort of truth of whats going on. And no the athiest doesn't got it, darn athiest still can't figure out their own exsistence means there is some sort of creator, or force of creation. But I digress, one most find some way to understand the inconsistences of exsistence. One of the big problems that gives raise to the inconsistences of reality and religion is the fact that almost all religions and even athiest, want to humanize god. The religons what to find ether perfection or flaw in his actions, and at the sametime, use human terms to discribe him. Like you saying that god even has a choice, or that god hears, or doesn't answer, all human terms for something thats soppose to be beyond human understanding. This is a conseqence of that. Trying to find human behavoir in something thats suppose to be beyond that. We see our behavior in black and white, as good or bad, we want our god to fit nicly in that same fashion...... or in another way, as ether being all their or all not their, ether or way, or no way....

It seems that way to me. I'm atheist so I guess that makes it easier to ignore the "miracles." Looking back at September 11 makes that question really come to mind.
