It is lower than disgusting.
That is a photo of the three little children who saw a vision of the Virgin Mary, at Fatima. ( Our Lady of Fatima shrine)

Fixed it. This exaggeration of mystic sitings of dead people borders on the ridiculous and shows ignorance of Scripture. God gave us Jesus as the only sign we need for spiritual awakening within. Jesus is the Truth. All else is vanity.

The idea that some orange peel with a brown spot or some weeping piece of stone or wood is a sign of God borders on the heretical. We live within God's world which displays His power in every leaf and body.

Of course, since it is from a group that worships gold icons and whose priests claim to be the sole arbiters of God's Word is tribute to the power of mysticism. Veneration of some people as special saints flies in the face of God's intention for all of us believers.

There is a list of things which God gave us for guidance... See #2

You shall not make for yourself any carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

Flame suit on! Responses will be ignored. I am a Christian, secure in God's path! I'm just appalled at posts such as yours.
