"I just realised that there is a big cultural gap between us. You see, I see all these types of miracles as a cultural phenomenon. That is, they are big in "Catholic" countries where most of the people don't really read the Bible and just sort of blindly believe what they are told. In places where Catholics actually READ THE BIBLE and have a direct relationship with Jesus, this sort of stuff is played down or tolerated, kind of like the crazy uncle in the cellar. It's pretty big stuff in south and central america and parts of Europe."

Yeah, although I find it fascinating that all those "Catholic" places like south and central america where all those ignorant people who don't read the Bible and lack a 'personal relationship with Jesus, and believe in all this 'weird' miracle stuff, are also the same places where children in their mother's womb still have a better than fifty-fifty shot that they won't be killed before their born. Whereas in cultures where people read their Bibles, have their 'personal relationships with Jesus,' and are oh so much more rational tend to slaughter the unborn.

But, then, I'm sure this is just a coincedence.

Each culture has its own skeletons in the closet. That said, I don't believe it is the Catholics that are killing those babies.
