Christians are sometimes a gullible lot.
People pray at tree outside St. Johns Cathedral in Fresno, California, say tree weeps God's tears by Jack Highberger
FRESNO, California -- - As the mid-day sun beat down, a group of parishioners huddled under a tree looking for shade, but seeking a miracle.
Rosemarie Navarro, a parishioner at a Fresno, California Catholic Church says, "I said my prayer and asked the Lord to give me a miracle cause I'm really, really sick."
Navarro counts herself among the believers, a small but growing group that thinks the liquid dripping from this Crape Myrtle tree is the tears of God.
This is not a joke. These people actually think that secretions from the back end of an aphid are God's tears. Why? Seriously, why?
For that matter, why would a woman who is sick accept aphid poop as a miracle when what she needs is to be healed from whatever is making her sick?
People. Walk down the street to the next Crape Myrtle and say, In the name of Odin the all father, please give us a miracle. I bet you get pooped on. Walk back the the original tree and say the same words. I bet you get pooped on again. How hard is this to understand?
