    Not that you didn’t already know it intellectually, but shit like this really pushes home how much of a scam Catholicism, and Christianity in general, really are. I mean they’re claiming this guy healed people? Over the internet? What’s the difference between this and those Faith healers that scam people all over the world?

    I mean is this really a case where a bunch of old people think a kid is Magic because he can make the internet work?

      There’s a local saint here and one of her “confirmed” miracles is that a guy with somewhat bad eyesight, but not so bad he couldn’t live a basically normal life, prayed to her and got 20/20 vision. Seriously.

        Why are there all these middlemen to pray to? Why does Jesus need to delegate the power to cure mild astigmatism? Lol
