question for athiest?

Question

how is it that every shread of proof we show to you, you wind up forgeting about it and saying we never show you any proof
if there is no proof in god than disprove how many thousands of miracles happened for one explain padre pio he had the stigmata which jesus also had and logical reasoning to this is what and how is it that any person who would inflict those wounds on themselves would have bleed out in about 4 hours and he wound up living with them for years while they were constantly bleeding can anyone tell me how he survived with those wounds for years?

Answer 1

you cannot be serious. you must be a troll

Answer 2

Actually, even the Vatican at one point rejected Padre Pio's claims. He was the subject of two official Vatican investigations.

I'm not sure where you got the claim that he would have bled out in 4 hours, because his wounds actually didn't bleed.

According to Dr. Bignami from the university of Rome, Padre Pio's wounds were the result of a psychological epidermal disease that has manifested itself in nonbelievers in other places.

Answer 3

There is this thing called the period, you should use it. None of your 'proof' is scientific, it is just your opinion. Also, have you ever experienced a miracle? What about someone you know? Probably not, b/c they always happen to someone else. Besides, every religion has 'miracles'.....which religion is right? Why would god give miracles to muslims or hindus if he existed? Answer: He doesn't, b/c miracles don't exist and god doesn't exist.

Answer 4

The fact that some events happening today can not be explained by contemporary science does not necessarily prove that God exists. It only proves the current limitations of of scientific tools and methods. God's existence must ultimately be accepted as an article of faith - a commitment to act as if there is God even in the face of insufficient evidence of His existence.

Answer 5

LOL.
Padre Pio was one thing; a fraud.
EVERY so-called stygmatic is also fraudulent.
You answered your own question by the way.
And why don't you address the fact that EVERY so called "miracle" has been a fraud? Not a single one has stood up to actual, scientific scrutiny.
Hmmm?

Answer 6

So what does Bleeding Hands Pio have over Bleeding Gums Murphy?

Answer 7

It's very telling that only Catholics exhibit stigmata. What it tells is that we see the miracles we expect to see.

Once a Buddist monk and his student were traveling and came to a river. As they were about to cross, the monk saw a scorpion that had fallen into the water. As he scooped up the scorpion, the monk was stung. When the monk let the scorpion go, he fell into the water again.

For a second time, the monk scooped the scorpion out of the water. For a second time he was stung. And a third.

When the student saw the monk stung for a fourth time he asked, "Master, when will you learn that it is the nature of a scorpion to sting you?"

"Ah, you foolish child!" replied to monk. "Ask the scorpion when it will learn that it is my nature to save its life."

Answer 8

You point to a psychotic episode as proof. You point to a book with no corroborating evidence to prove itself. You show no "proof" other than belief. Stigmata has never been verified by medical personnel and only occurs in deeply catholic third world countries whose population will believe anything religious.

Answer 9

I have never seen a true miracle. Where are the ones right now? How come they only happened in times when people were more superstitious and likely to believe no matter what?

Answer 10

perhaps you didn't notice, but we don't accept your 'proof' in the first place. it's not that we forget about it. perhaps some things cannot be explained in detail (i think that stigmata probably does fall into that category). but that is not proof of god's existence, it only proves that we are not omniscient, which almost no one disputes.

Answer 11

Tell me how, if that is in fact a miracle, it serves any constructive purpose on the part of God, or that it is anything but a strange affliction bestowed upon someone who happened to be a priest.
