Why do people fall for this crap year after year around the world. Its always some B.S. fraud with the bleeding or sweating statues, the image of Jesus, Mary, or Joe Montana (significantly less common) on the side of a building, in the mud, on a window - when the sun is juuusst right. In my opinion - its about a two-foot walk from this stuff to giving your credit card to Miss Cleo to tell you your future.

Religious faith is fine but it hinges on pathetic to run around looking for "a sign" everywhere. Strong faith requires no magic acts from God.

If Miss Cleo was a real psycic, would she ask what your name is when you call?

Many of these catholic apperations seem to have at least some basis in truth. IMHO

A few years ago, there was a Hindu statue here in Dallas that cried milk. I'm not kidding! It was later determined to be a simple physical phenomena.

"Strong faith requires no magic acts from God."

Like the bringing Lazarus back from the dead, or turning water into wine, or perhaps the Resurrection?
