Do non-Christian religions also have hokey "miracles"?
I mean seriously, the virgin Mary's face on a grilled cheese, Jesus's image on a rust stained wall, countless crying statues of almost any religious figure, etc. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting some corny ass "miracle" somewhere in the United States.

My question is do other religions have the same easily dupes rubes who believe their own religions versions of these miracles. Are there Hindus who believe they see Vishnu's image on a potato chip? Are there Zoroastrians who see Zoroaster's face in a tree stump?

What's the deal?

3. I remember that too
I wonder what happened with that baby. He was born with some great similarities to an Arab Uncle who died a month before and he had a birthmark. I can't remember all the story.

A miracle! All praise Ganesh!

(Edit: It really WOULD be a miracle if I could get through one post without a typo or spelling error)
