Eveything has a "simple reason " doesn't it ?
It's ok if you need these stories and signs and imaginary historical figures and examples to prove to yourself that life is good, life is great ...and worth living. You have chosen to believe in ancient stories , imaginary humans, imaginary devils angels and prophets...
that even without which , life would still provide you with ample experiences today to know your own truths. ...but easier to just read about your life , out of a book.
But people gregg are really quite capable , just like Jesus did , of seeing the beauty , eternity of Life nowdays , without the old stories of heaven and hell.
The secular world is doing many things right , or maybe you haven't noticed ? Just like many wonderful stories that went "Once upon a time "....
It's wonderful if it takes stories of angels and messiahs to arouse you enough to love or care. But wouldn't it be just as beautiful , if people just came together in the here and now ....without thought of heaven or hell. But out of simple , dignified human respect , living life in accordance to "your own ministry"..your own two feet.
But that wouldn't satisfy you , would it ? It would take away your "power" , and desire for imortality... you would have to think up something original to say. and there wouldn't be any "club" to belong to ...and you would have to accept the truth , that jesus was just a man...
not a god.
Just ask Brees about Jesus being only the man ...1billion followers of Islam cannot be wrong. The "Last Prophet" of God , Mohammed said so!

PS: Paul was very concerned with miracles , but forgot most of them . ...and Jesus said :
"there will be those that will come after me that do greater deeds than I have done ."
---->proof he was just a philosopher !
