Since this is one of those weird, useless (as in - turning dry blood in a jar into wet blood is not exactly on a par with turning water into wine or healing the sick or parting the red sea all with practical application - kind of like tears coming from a statue), I'm going to guess this is a Catholic thread.

The international Catholic "culture" stuff sure shows up in a lot of tabloids. Why is that?

That someone even associates this tripe with Christianity deeply offends me and does not appear to help the spread of the gospel.

I could be dead wrong on this thing, but I can't help but wonder what Peter or Paul would of thought of this sort of thing. Imagine, they've just healed a sick person and given God the glory. Then someone walks up to them and says, "hey, that vial of dried blood just miraculously turned wet. Looks like we're in for some good times."

Do you really think they would have said, "Praise be to God."

I think they might have said something along the lines of, "Man, who has persuaded you to believe our God is a God of such cheap trickery? Who has ascribed this event to good or bad times, and why did you believe him?"

My gosh, people are gullible.

My gosh, people are gullible.

Some people are also very superstitious.

Is this a natural event that can be explained by scientists?
