You should be smelling the bullshit. Perhaps you have a head cold?
Failing that, get hold of Candida Moss' The Myth of Persecution and find out all about these fucking saints and their miracles.
It's a lucrative scam for the biggest bunch of criminals mankind has produced.

Evidence of actual miracles.
Or to put it more plainly, but with more verbiage, the more implausible an event, the more evidence is required to prove it actually happened.
1. I had beef for dinner tonight (probably most people will believe it just on my say-so).
2. I won the Nobel Prize. ---At a minimum you're going to want to look this one up.
3. I have a cure diabetes. --- If you have any sense you are going to want to see the clinical trials.
4. There is a dragon in my basement. --- Photos, videos, and an some eyewitnesses minimum.
5. Miracle. --- Repeated clinical tests, minimum.
What we tend to get? Credulous eyewitnesses to things a magician might do on stage usually told third hand four centuries ago.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Yes. Why would they lie? Can you prove they weren't? That many people can't be wrong. How else would they know what an alien ship looks like? Were you there? You just don't want to believe in aliens. Why do you hate aliens?

Wow that's amazing, a being with no limit to its power communicating in shit patterns. How did I miss that?
What's the message meant to be? If anything it sounds like a cry for help. I'm trapped and this is the only way I can communicate! Get me out of here, help!
