There's also the fact that what was described can be attributed to either parhelia, or people trying to stare at the sun, or both. And that the accounts don't line up very well at all. And that the church had a vested interest in perpetuating the story, not just in general but because of the political climate in that particular place. And that, no, the newspapers that reported it weren't anti-religion... quite the opposite in at least one case.
And on and on.
OP: just admit you were suckered and move on. It's getting embarrassing.
