Adding to the mystery, Fire Chief Raymond Reed said the department took 80 photos of the scene and the priest did not appear in any of them.
The local radio stations talk radio program had the Mystery Priest as a topic of conversation this morning. Caller after caller called in detailing mysterious encounters, strange coincidences and seemingly divine interventions from what would be called guardian angels. Seen and unseen or warnings in dreams. I had my own experiences. All those people relating their own stories made you think about how often these things happen.
It certainly made a person more likely to be a believer than not.

Meanwhile in the real world, a starving kid in Africa dies every 6 seconds, That would be about 20 in the time it took me to type this post, yay god.
So what have you done to help starving kids? This question is directed at you. My church feeds starving kids and adults.
Simply pointing out the obvious failure of this gawd or angels to do something constructive and within biblical claims to fame and capabilities addressing a real issue and not some selfish 'murikan 1st world concept of a "miracle". I know folk like you do not like this shoved in your face but it is nonetheless an obvious indicator of the non existence of god(s). Whatever the/your church does is no different to what other non believers like me do or have done, it is people doing stuff not god(s).
There are just too many stories out there of god taking time out to save an Americans from pithy stuff considered divine intervention. It is not, simple random chance and the luck of the draw is what it is. For example, god is always able to save some accident victim yet powerless to prevent the accident from happening. We rational folk call that statistics.
Cue the free will argument which I can also debunk from a secular standpoint. In short, what happens to you is predetermined by many factors outside your control. You are a christian b/c you grew up in a culture where the religion is predominant, had you been born in the ME, you would be muslim and in India, a hindu. We are all born agnostic (without knowledge) and all that is religious has to be learned/indoctrinated. From there, it is turtles all the way down.
Oh here we go again! Grab your aluminum hats, folks: Dem Ebilâ„¢ Demons is a'comin' fur yur souls!

Psssttt... I do professional tool sharpening as part of my business. Mayhaps them Tangs of Life or whatever they are labelled, could do with maintenance, yes?
Or... wait now... what's that eerie background glow that is hovering around my sharpening equipment right now, and that low-moaning-like also-eerie "Holy Mackerel!" soundscape?
Why... why... surely... it's gotz'tah be God's howling minions for sure, you betcha.
Btw, what if this had not worked out so well, like these many examples?:
God or His angels onsite to save trapped people? What smurfy stuff! Not to mention selectively convenient, ignoring all the countless other accidental deaths that are conveniently ignored.
The Clan of the Conveniently Selective Fundo-Christians? Yup.
How is some random ding dong popping up out of the blue offering a prayer a miracle exactly? Seems like the people who created the miracle were the guys cutting her out of the car.
