Catholics miraculously saved from inferno of Death-Science!

First of all:
That's the most laughable representation of an ancient middle eastern woman and child I've ever seen. Wait I forgot. Mary was a blond, blue-eyed caucasion of nordic descent. Right. And god must look suprisingly like that too! Look at the baby's hair. All blond and curly. So cute! Look! He's got daddy's feet!
That picture embodies the complete gullability and stupidity of 99.9% of christians. Idiots.
Now, the article (clearly written to impress idiots) relates a few stories. How nice. Where are the statistics that show the ratio dead/alive of professed catholics, christians of other denominations, shintoists, buddhists, muslims, atheists, etc. that would clearly demonstrate that a catholic miracle occurred? Hmm?
Idiots.

Gotta keep a sense of humor right? 
Ignorance of the ONE TRUE FAITH is no excuse for attacking it.
The Virgin and Child are a caucasian/european representation.
Many races and cultures depict the Virgin in a way that is familiar to each, and this is pleasing to God.
You claim to be rational and tolerant, but exclude Catholicism and mock our cultus.
Why is it so difficult for you to see/ accept God as a baby?

He told you that showing Jesus and mom as nordic icons or dark skinned sub-saharans was A-Ok? God promotes deception and lies? We already knew that...

It's probably not so important what Jesus or Mary looked like physically.
I think many people still need to give God physical attributes which are similar to themselves, like a body and personality for example, so that they can relate and feel more familiarity with "him".
For example, if Jesus was pictured as a "black" man, white people couldn't have easily felt the same relationship with him.
I am rational, and I never claimed tolerance for willful stupidity. Your cultus is a joke of monumental proportions and a great human tragedy.

If it were a true miracle, everyone would have been saved, not just a small group of aryans.
It reminds me of the woman who lay buried for hours under the rubble of WTC and when finally rescued claimed Paul had saved her, although no such person was present. Of course, she took this as a divine sign, and became a fervent theist as she now believes the apostle Paul did in fact save her.
As yet though, there is no word from Paul as to why he allowed thousands of others to perish.

Faith in what?
That when it comes to human tragedies, your gods will decide to save only a small group or individual and leave the rest to die horribly? And if all those who perished also prayed to be saved and were devout to their religions, should they have had faith as well?
Chance circumstance is far more credible than devine intervention, or lack thereof.

(Q) said:
To question your beliefs. I believe the material world is an "illusion", but even the visual illusion must have been caused by something.
But I don't think you have understand me when I said that "you don't exist". You do exist, it's just that none of us are not individuals, but we parts of one single self. There is only one being, and every human, every animal, every plant and also every heavenly body, all the suns, all the planets are just tools for this self to express itself. The same self talks through "me" (body) as it talks through you and all other living beings.
The difference is that all living things do not know their self completely. So neither can they express all the properties of the self.
Yorda, which you think is 'me', is just a tool, which expresses an aspect of the self whichever happens to be necessary.
This self starts to sound pretty much like God, doesn't it?

M*W: I studied for years about the ONE TRUE FAITH. I taught many people about the ONE TRUE FAITH. I lived and breathed the ONE TRUE FAITH. Then I learned the ONE TRUE FAITH I had given my life to had lied. Not only to me, but to billions of people! Your ONE TRUE FAITH does not exist.

M*W: God never existed much less as a baby. Jesus never existed much less as a baby. Why do you come up with this nonsense? You are preaching to an atheist choir. Instead of trying to convert us with your fascist rantings to the religion of doom, it would serve you well to read a few scientifically researched books on the subject.
