i don't know man. growing up in mexico, the reports of divine appearances and manifestations were common occurances. shrines were errected and the people gather at these holy hot spots. i always would ask myself about the "how?" and is this of God or not? but lately i can identify with the need and desire for "a sign"- life is rough, show me there is something bigger than me out there. so even if it is a drop of grape juice added by a trickster, people gather under it's collective mythology and feel like a part of something bigger.
ok, that was a lot of heresy- but what the heck.
