Have any of the people that believe this stuff ever read the Bible? Do they actually believe, in the context of what the Bible says about God and Jesus, that this thing is anything other than a hoax, albeit a really old one? It would be more accurate to say, Do they actually believe, in the context of how RobRoy interprets what the Bible says about God and Jesus...."
Of course, everyone knows RobRoys interpretations are infallible dont they?

No, you are right. They are not.
I am frustrated by "myths" of all sects of Christianity. There are baloney stories in the protestant circles and there are baloney stories in the Catholic circles. I am in no way attacking anyones interpretation of the Bible. Rather, I am attacking their belief in miracles which were easy to perpetrate on people in a Christian culture that were NOT EVEN ALLOWED to read the Bible backwards and uneducated at best.
But now these should be exposed as the cheap parlor tricks that they are. I repeat, these type of things show up in protestant circles as well. Dont believe me, just watch the so-called Christian television talk shows. Dont get me wrong, its not all bad, but some of it would be downright laughable, if it wasnt so serious, spiritually.
People have a natural tendency to glom onto any miraculous proof as if that is what God needs to win His battle.
I once read a book by Hal Lindsey called A walk through the holy land. In it was a photograph of the upper room where someone had used a flash and a slow shutter speed in a fairly bright room, accidentally creating some interesting effects. It was quite obvious to any serious amateur photographer what caused the effects
Well, the notes below the picture said that the apparent apparition of a winged angel holding a cross was not seen by the photographer when he was taking the picture, but there it was in the picture. It further said that the photo had been analyzed by photography experts and they could not explain it.
What a crock. I repeat, it was OBVIOUS to me what had happened before I even read the notes. I was floored.
AND PEOPLE BELIEVE THIS, HOOK, LINE, AND SINKER.
Most of this stuff, on both the Catholic AND protestant side belong on Art Bell, and we should focus on His Word and obeying Christ in Love.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
