How come this stuff always happens in Mexico/Central/South america?

Superman · Post by **Superman** » 2003-03-08 11:32pm

Seriously, with all of the screwball fundies here in America you would think it would be a daily occurence here.

Mainly due to the fact that thoes areas are still devoutly Catholic, and all good Catholics pray to find the blessed Virgin in a coffee stain.....

sokar, Italy is very Catholic and you don't see it happen there very often. It's not Catholicism. I would guess that it has to do with a highly uneducated populace and the respective culture.

Why would you blame a demonation? It's not like they're any screwier than the rest of them.

You'd think that after living her entire life in a cave or a manager or some rickety shack in the Judean countryside Mary would want to manifest in something grand, like the clouds or the sun or in a crop circle or something. A coffee stain seems rather bland.

[fundie]It's God's mysterious ways. Just because I'm too stupid to figure it out, doesn't mean it isn't true.[/fundie]

Prehaps they don't believe in coiendiceses or scienctific explations for such events?

The explanation is simple: tequila.

I'm guessing it's the same reason why the only people who were abducted by aliens were drunk rednecks.

Anyway, it makes no sense. If God exists, then why doesn't he just come out of the clouds and say he's there, instead of appearing on some tortilla in Mexico?

Same thing with the aliens. How come they don't abduct the intellent and elite of humanity? Wouldn't they be more interested in them?

Not too long ago, the Virgin Mary appeared on the side of a bank in Clearwater, FL. I saw it on the way to a Phillies spring training game. It had been turned into a shrine.

So it's not just Mexico.

Now today its India`s turn to have an image of Jesus(crying tears of blood)anyway thats what they claim.

For a religion that isn't supposed to worship false idols, they sure go out of their way to find them.

I find it strange that god only show signs to the religious and not atheist

Then again, that's in Florida. Rednecks abound north of West Palm.
