The cannonized saints? We talking about the ones who flew around churches and made animals talk...or? I don't wanna be completely dismissive here, and I suspect that those guys probably handed out alot of bread or made alot of bread for the catholic church. That's amazing, in it's own right - but they lose me when they get to the whole verified miracles thing.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

My stomach hurt very badly, so I prayed to Saint Jude, because I know he's a Saint of healing, and almost immediately, my stomach ache went away. RE: Why does science always upstage God?

Hallelujah, I guess? St Judes hospital does good work...but even if st jude cured your tummy ache, I wouldn't rate that as a miracle. The interests of these saints doesn't appear to be particularly broad nor do their treatments appear to be meaningfully effective.

To be fair, it would only cause cognitive dissonance if a person knew better - we can grant that some people are too thick to know better, and therefore relatively immune to cognitive dissonance.

I agree. Maybe I gave Ahriman to much credit because it can type.

And this one time, I lit a white candle in my bedroom, and said a prayer for Saint Lucy, and my chest/heart area got all warm and I suddenly felt better. I had been feeling like shit at the time, and after the prayer, I felt a lot better.
