Funny how people can chalk up post-Resurrection sightings of Jesus to “hysterical delusions,” but then are perfectly willing to believe Mary appeared face-to-face with school children and talked to them a few decades ago.

Not from the Orthodox side. As far as I am concerned, I don't call it "hysterical delusions," but simply claims that lack objective proof. And since it is such a crucial Christian belief, it is a real wonder that so many people believe in something as outrageous as that without a shred of evidence: it's blind faith at its best.

It's all upside down.

I would think heated discussions between Christians about the correctness of various translations is to be expected and should be encouraged. I never thought I would see Christians arguing that the Koran is just as valid as the Bible because in the end you can't prove which is correct.
