A statue of the Virgin Mary out in California is leaking a red liquid from one of its eyes.
"I think that it's incredible. It’s a miracle. Why is she doing it? Is it something bothering her?" asked Maria Vasquez, 35, who drove with her parents and three children from Stockton, about 50 miles south of Sacramento.
Ms. Vasquez - it's a statue! It's not alive, it is not a woman thusly nothing can bother it. Living things get bothered, not statuary. Ky Truong is all depressed because there's a liquid on a statue but at least he's become a prognosticator:
"There’s a big event in the future — earthquake, flood, a disease," Truong said. "We’re very sad."
How far into the future, Ky? These things happen all the time.
Is there a staute of Athena somewhere with a liquid running down its face as well that portends a bad olive crop? Why isn't the whole world laughing at people who think that certain statues are "alive"? We all know how meaningful Mary's stain was. I expect such ridiculous things from religious people and apparently the author of the article partakes of such things as well. To wit:
Thousands of such incidents are reported around the world each year, though many turn out to be hoaxes or natural phenomena.
So, many are hoaxes and natural phenomena which leaves the rest as genuine miracles. Nice bit of science there AP. Got any proof that any of them are miracles and not hoaxes/natural phenomena? Even one?
