Methinks the local pub attendance moves up in times of national angst also.

As someone who believes in a higher power, I have to wonder why these sort of manifestations are always so ineffectual.

If you are a godly being, why would you tell someone so specifically to meet you at a unique location, on a set date and time - then just flash a couple of crosses in the sky and make a statue cry?

I have faith, but is that it? Really?? With all the terrible things happening in the world today, how about a little useful information or maybe a life changing event in front of some people who really need to experience a faith based change of life?

It comes down to the time difference. A god can only appear in the form of tears 30 minutes before appearing on a grilled-cheese sandwich anywhere else in the world.

Yes, why would you indeed? Not particularly godlike, unless you go back to the Greeks and Romans.

Is it really too much to ask for a few well placed bolts of lightning every now and then??

Why do my countrymen persist to embarrass me?

Any particular target?

Ahhhh haa ha very funny!

You and your liberal friends win this round...
