... or, "the system itself", even.

Anyone care to comment on the supposed miracles of Lourdes?

Yes, Is Mise. I'd note that the same number of amputees cured by the springs is identical to the number of amputees cured by placebos.

You don't actually believe any miracles occur there, do you? You weren't brought up in a religious household by any chance, we're you?

Spiritism is nothing short of playing with demons. People who reject Jesus Christ and His teachings often turn to false religion. Secularism is just as demonic as spiritism as its High Priests are generally pathetically flawed human beings who hide behind pseudo science to approve abhorent lifestyles.

When I was still at high school, just before the age of the USB, classes still involved the use of hard disks.

One time I had not finished an assignment, and my teacher (for a class I didn't like) wanted to see my work. They then sat beside myself and asked me to open a project file.

Immediately, I went into a stress mode, with my face very moist and in complete shock. It was unbelievable, and a feeling I would normally see in a cartoon, not part of reality.

Then suddenly, on the computer screen something like the following came up: "This file is corrupt" and the file wouldn't open. I was asked again to open the file, and the same words came to a front.

My teacher asked if I had done anything to my disk and I honestly said I hadn't, which was true.

Looking back, has always been interesting. I was at a Christian school and I can't see how there was no element of a miracle, regardless of a person's view or perception of what a miracle may or may not be or if miracles even exist.

Good grief... a computer fails to read a file properly and hallelujah, it's a frigging miracle. Spare me.

Spiritualism is crap. I'm not so sure about spiritism: I assume that's something do with drinking far too much strong alcohol, and I stick to beer and wine.

Hume's arguments against miracles still hold sound, crystals are just solids with highly regular microscopic structure, energy is a quantity used by physicists and not in any way vaguely related to what you imagine it to be, and spiritual therapy is a fancy name for quackery.

There is one word to describe people who believe in that shite, and that word is gullible.
