* SinInvitesPossession: Despair is what makes people vulnerable to DemonicPossession. (Utter despair is considered a sin in some versions of Christianity, because it's incompatible with believing that God can and will help even the most miserable.)

* DissonantSerenity: Steve when [[spoiler: a bomb destroys the entire pub around him, while he and the people at his table remain completely unharmed]]. Followed by Steve then proceeding to take a sip from his pint, as if [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight nothing happened at all.]]
* DoingInTheWizard: {{Subverted}}; while watching a tape of Steve bringing daylight to the football stadium, an academic comments to Judy that they could theoretically check weather patterns to see what day's weather it was. Judy seizes on this as proof that it isn't a miracle, only to be bluntly told that it's nothing of the kind; couching it in scientific terms doesn't change the fact that it's completely impossible.

Arbitrary Skepticism is when characters in a fantastical setting are skeptical about something that's not any less plausible than the things they take for granted. A person in a mundane setting being dubious about the sudden appearance of miracles is perfectly ordinary skepticism.
