Easily impressed folks see what they want to see

From the AP.

On a warm spring day, Floribeth Mora was in her bed waiting to die from a seemingly inoperable brain aneurysm when her gaze fell upon a photograph of Pope John Paul II in a newspaper.

"Stand up," Mora recalls the image of the pope saying to her. "Don't be afraid."

Mora, her doctors and the Catholic Church say her aneurysm disappeared that day in a miracle that cleared the way for the late pope to be declared a saint on April 27 in a ceremony at the Vatican where Mora will be a guest of honor.

For Mora, the church-certified miracle was only the start of her metamorphosis from an ill and desperate woman into an adored symbol of faith for thousands of Costa Ricans and Catholics around the world.

Yeah, uh no. A "certified" miracle is a contradiction in terms. This is simply a misdiagnosis, spontaneous remission, misunderstanding or flat out lying. No miracle needed, thanks.

And if some god did actually perform a "miracle" to save this woman, screw him for not saving nearly 300 high school students who died in terror on the South Korean ferry this week.
