Yes can you imagine the "coincidence" that popes sat for centuries on St. Peter's face and that they just happen to find his bones there? Coincidence - no way, it's the work of the male gay deity.
Seriously the Shroud of Turin was proved to be fake by Carbon dating as produced in medieval times, and its image of Jesus has been reproduced by an Italian chemist using materials available in medieval Europe. Nevertheless popes endorse it, including "everyone's favorite asshole" Pope Francis.
But that's what you get with those people that want to believe without evidence. Just remember 2012 when, a statue of Jesus in Mumbai began oozing water from its feet. It was proclaimed “holy water,” and many Chatolics started drinking it and was seen as a miracle, and hundreds of Catholics flocked to worship the image. Then the Indian rationalist Sanal Edamaruku discovered that the “miracle” was due to faulty plumbing: blocked drainage of a nearby toilet caused the statue to wick fecal emerging at Jesus’s feet. Which only outraged Catholic Church causing Edamaruku to be indicted for violating Indian laws against hurting religious sentiments. He fled the country to avoid jail, a refugee from superstition!!

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
