maybe NC's not the one that needs reading lessons.

or did you mean the part were the church that makes money off his sainthood dismissed the evidence because the truth would hurt their interests? come on, man, this is weak.

I said read it because it admits the document was from the Catholic Church own archive's .It is also the only thing going against all the other eye witnesses'. I admit I don't know why I'm surprised that you guys don't believe it ,you think guys think the NRA is looking out for you .

I sure don't think that the NRA is looking out for me. But Padre Pio was a fake. His "wounds" disappeared right after death in a way that would not have happened if he truly had been bleeding. I think he was a benign pious fake: he wasn't trying to put people on, he was just trying to imitate Jesus. Nonetheless there is no miracle with him.

I would be happy if Padre Pio were a true stigmatist. But he wasn't.

Padre Pio in fact was an example of a problem with most supposed stigmatists: they get the wounds wrong. The Romans crucified through the wrist, not the palms, since hand bones are not strong enough to hold up the body. In the Middle Ages artists began depicting the wounds in the wrong place, the palms. Thus stigmatists who have bleeding hands and palms are imitating art, not the true life Jesus.

Actually alot of the crucified were also tied down at different parts (neck, shoulders, arms, waist etc.) on the cross because of tearing at the limbs. The act of striking into the wrist, base of palm, or actual palm had to do more with the message: pain to the subject and instilling fear in the community.

Easy explanation. Jesus did not have a private jet. They weren't invented yet.

Also, camels and donkeys cannot swim.

No, pretty delusional to think a supreme being created all that and only showed his "works" in one location.

Besides, if he's so powerful, how come it took him 6 days to create? Why not one?

Because it was a lot of work to get done and then he rested on the seventh day like a boss.

There is only one Boss and thou shalt have no other Boss before him.

'Cuz he was taking his time, stopping every now and then for a puff of the kind.

'Cause it wouldn't have done us much good if, when showing his works to us, he did them on Alpha Centuari. At the same time, I would imagine he spoke to the Alpha Centaurians in a somewhat different manner than the King James Bible.
