It’s worth pondering why over the course of 160 years with an average of three million pilgrims per year, the Church has only ‘verified’ 70 miracles.
80 thousand sick people attend Lourdes every year for over a century and out of that there are 66 confirmed miracle-cured. Statistically, that is insignificant.
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"
