What do you want to bet we also have some kooky misguided ideas about how this all ends? I suggest we hold on to our opinions loosely—God has a way of surprising us.

Where we learn that Jesus has come to save us from a terrible and jealous dragon who wants us to die and rot in hell.

If we want to see miracles happen, what are we supposed to do? Punch a brick?
