So they *aren't* worshiping the same God? Yet whoever they're worshiping 
is doing miracles?

I mean, look, all the religions who had other miracles: either it was 
JHVH doing the miracles, or it wasn't. You seem to be saying "it really 
was JHVH doing the miracles when people prayed to Apollo, but instead of 
just not answering people praying to the wrong gods, JHVH decided to 
answer them, encourage them, and then KILL THEM ALL, even tho they'd 
never actually heard of JHVH."  Or am I misinterpreting what you're saying?

How can it be the wrong side? Satan has no free will, and is less 
powerful than God, yet God allows him to exist and to try to lead humans 
astray.

Ah. Yes. Wow. I'm yet again stunned by your hubris. I don't think in all 
my years of talking about religion I've ever had someone tell me that I 
really am worshiping their god, I just don't know it.

     It's not feature creep if you put it
     at the end and adjust the release date.
