re: Virgin Mary painting shows 'tears' at Chicago church

If you actually even remotely believe this is some real miracle and not the church creating an elaborate hoax to bring awareness to a bankrupt church, then you are a very, very dumb individual.

Its like when there is a natural disaster and sometimes you hear a story that comes out of it that a whole area was destroyed, but the one thing that remained "untouched" was a statue of Mary or Jesus..

I know it gives people something to feel good about and it might strengthen their faith in a time when it is much needed, but why would a higher power save a statue and leave people homeless or with half of their home torn to pieces and save the statue? That just doesn't make sense to me.
