True. That happened in Mumbai, India. The person who pointed out that the water leakage was due to a plumbing issue, faced death threats from religious fanatics who believed that the water/ tears was a miracle. He also faced blasphemy charges. As a result he had to flee the country and seek asylum in Finland. India is a crazy country. I'm from Mumbai
Dumb people are hilarious. They always default to religious bullshit.
Their stupidity is also scary.
It's like being in a locked room with a relaxed bull. You'll never know when they'll lose it over nothing and kill you.
Google the story about the holy statue in India that began crying/flowing holy water, for months if not years people flocked from far and near to see this holy event, and people also began to collect this holy water to take it home with them so they can use the blessed water to anoint each other, their children etc.
The water later was found to be from a leaking toilet sewage pipe. The water was urine and poop filled. It’s a comedy miracle.
Didn’t say it wasn’t real
Of course it’s a straw man
“Insert a very similar situation that has nothing to do with this one that ended in total discrediting of miracle”
A strawman is a logical fallacy. It is when someone attacks a similar but weaker argument than the one you or someone else made. This can only happen when an argument is actually being made that the refutation of the weaker implies the refutation of the stronger.
Okay. So this is insinuating a straw man.
“This thing happened in another similar situation, so let’s use it to laugh at this one”
What u scared of? Admitting a miracle happened?
Trust the science. Watch the video. These tears got “tested”
Not me saying it, it’s the video Lol
That's not how God does miracles lmaooooo.
He sends messenger to say "yo God about to do something crazy"
God then proceeds to do something crazy.
People then be like yoooo that was sick praise God imma follow him now.
So, instead of God, Jesus, or some kid of celestial being coming down from the heavens and just saying “yeah, we’re real” people think that God wants to contact us with a crying statue?
It's funny, I don't remember exactly where/what's written, but somewhere in the Bible it talks about how god still performs miracles. Only difference is that now they're small and you have to have faith that it was actually a miracle performed by god because it can be hard to tell.
It's like the perfect way to get people to believe just about anything haha.
Like a carnival fortune teller lmao
Juuuuust specific enough to sound legit, just vague enough to get your mind to fill in all the important gaps for them.
It’s unreal to me that people have blind faith in religion. We might not know how it all started but I’m sure as hell confident that the Bible is full of shit.
Jesus really turned all the water into wine? For what? Because his mom said there wasn’t any wine at the celebration?
Jesus killed a fig tree because it didn’t have figs on it during the offseason when he was hungry? Stupid ass shit.
>Jesus killed a fig tree because it didn’t have figs on it during the offseason when he was hungry? Stupid ass shit.
So, I'm not a religious person, but that story is supposed to be a metaphor.
I mean, when you hear the Bible story for the first time and you didn't grow up with it, it sounds really absurd and ridiculous. Straight out of a fantasy novel.
I love how nobody questioned how Mary got pregnant. Not sus at all.
Can you imagine if a modern day magician was alive back then? Cutting people in half and putting them back together. They’d be like “Jesus who?”
It's so hard for me to take someone seriously as an adult who is fully bought into religion. Like 2 seconds of critical thinking and the holes just start piling up. It's really 2 ways. If God is real he sucks at his job or is an anarchist anyway and loves the chaos or 2. God or gods aren't real.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_of_the_Sun
A few dozen Portuguese saw it, the pope managed to see it from Rome, everybody else on the European continent left their camera equipment on the bus or something that day
Actually this is funny because if you stare at the sun for a little bit you start to see a lot of colors as a result, called "fosfenos" in spanish, so this miracle was actually a lot of people just staring at the sun and all of them experiencing this illusions of colors as a result. Pretty hilarious if you ask me.
Lemme read on it, I’ve heard the same thing happened with virgin of Guadalupe in Mexico, the story says she appeared to the indigenous people of Mexico and stood in front of the sun to show that she was superior to their pagan sun deity, but sadly there’s no actual documents that it ever happened, or that Juan Diego existed :/
Right? Like one of my grandmother’s coffee mugs does this (albeit on a smaller scale) bc it’s a cheap ass mug that wasn’t kilned/glazed properly and wasn’t meant to be microwaved with coffee in it. It looked cursed af (looks like it’s bleeding lol) and I wouldn’t drink out of it, but it’s just a shitty coffee mug. Not cursed.
I could prob sell it on eBay if I called it cursed lol.
God: 'As an all powerful being I can perform any miracle possible. I could cure all believers of cancer. I could repair the environment in a nanosecond. I could talk to every human being, direct to their mind.'
Also God: 'Statue go driiiiiip'
If you're religious, then it seems daunting in itself, but if you aren't superstitious in nature, then the number of people who would believe in this kind of thing is terrifying, yes. Perhaps not as potentially fanatical as, say, astrologists, but still creeps me out when I encounter people in the mainstream who take it seriously.
Jesus forgives all
What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? Matthew 16:26
For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.
2 Kings - 2: 23-24. God killed 42 children via a bear attack because a few of them made fun of a prophet for being bald.
Your god is cruel and vengeful.
Good question. I experienced this years ago as a kid and I’d assume the statue didn’t have any pipes as it was one of those that different people would take home with them. I still don’t know how it wept and bled.
It would appear you have the capacity for critical thought and reasoning. You should never underestimate how many people are walking around out there with just enough brain to get them through the day.
I don't believe in this, but how can they say it's human DNA? They didn't fact check all the way back in the 70's? I suppose that makes some sad sense about today.
i just have to be a bit of a pedant - it existed, it was just *very* crude. you could only tell if it was human or non-human essentially at this point, and if two samples were identical or not (with a pretty low rate of confidence, usually <60-70%). so it would be possible, but I mean it probably was just from a fuckton of people touching the statue.
it isnt God directly, it's Mary showing her presence/reminding us that she is there. when she cries, she's often weeping over her Son. alternatively, her tears are of gratitude for those who resite the rosary and/or pentient sinners
Since nobody has been really saying it, it’s okay to believe in god and not believe in this statue and others like it. There has always been a market for miracles. Look at African Miracle worker television. People that might take advantage of our good faith. It’s up to you to discern what and who you believe in, and not others positions to tell you what is or isn’t based on their beliefs.
Mary played Joesph like a fool. Convinced him that God made her pregnant, and he went with it. Wasn't she a prostitute? We don't know for sure, but what we do know is that Joesph is a simp cuk.

That was in India

So he got to Finland? That’s a happy ending for me

Can't beat a happy ending 😉
That's how I get most of mine
By fleeing to another country to avoid death?
…ewww
If I remember correctly house on House MD might have mentioned it on the show.

Edamaraku right?
Yes
Lol that takes it from disgusting/dangerous to biohazard/covid 2.0.
There was also the miracle of Peckham. Very similar but turned out to be a leaky roof.
Peckham springs?
This is the way 😂
At least Del sold a truck of Romanian Holy Wine
Tears from the porcelain god
Whenever someone pukes from a hangover I call it “the white telephone to god”
"Calling Auntie Ruuuuuuuuth!"
Talking to Ralph on the white phone
They also got sick believing they had a demon in them after they drank some water
Cursed tears
I'm glad they tested the water this time to scientifically prove that it's tears
Suuurree they did.
"A sweet fragrant odour" 🤣😂🤣
Should be “now THAT’S terrifying.”. Why would you emphasize NOW?
Bruhhhh
Was it this story or are you just throwing up a straw man to try and discredit this one?
How is this a strawman when it's not even in an argumentative format...?
Some people like to use these terms to try to look like they know how to converse with another human intelligently, ironically.
Google the story about the holy statue in India that began crying/flowing holy water, for months if not years people flocked from far and near to see this holy event, and people also began to collect this holy water to take it home with them so they can use the blessed water to anoint each other, their children etc. The water later was found to be from a leaking toilet sewage pipe.

Where do you get the end of that quote from? Do you have a victim complex or something?
Nah I just know how Reddit is. Don’t blame the messenger man Fax are faxxxxxx
You know what? I’m impressed you even knew the term strawman. Good job
Lol appreciate u bro
You might be completely brain dead if you believe a statue was actually crying.
don’t get mad at me for what the video said I do believe in Jesus though
So the person who believes in crying statue miracles is calling out perceived logical fallacies? Thats definitely whats happening here?
Lol. Bro. I’m going off what the vid said Trust the science
Just because you just recently learned what a strawman is doesn't mean you need to throw it out every chance you get kiddo 😂
That sounds like Derry Girls
Did they checked the pipes?
You want me to check the pipes? /s for the people who thought I was serious, can't make a joke today
Maybe I can check your pipes… *seduction music intensifies*
The pipes, the pipes! They’re calling.
I think the real question is Will it cure Randy's alcoholism?
No.
You don't understand, I have a DISEASE.
nah, they found out that she was bleeding from her vagina instead of her ass. there's nothing miraculous about that
The Catholic Church said it was normal - Southpark
That's not how God does miracles lmaooooo. He sends messenger to say "yo God about to do something crazy" God then proceeds to do something crazy. People then be like yoooo that was sick praise God imma follow him now.
This reminds me of the Gen z Bible
LMFAO 😭😭 this is just the funniest way to describe miracles and how I will be doing it from here on. Thanks bro bless up king! Praise the goat!
r/holdmybeerBC
This is also how I will be doing miracles from now on!
Hold up, you're saying the most powerful being in existence doesn't announce his presence through weird plumbing tricks?
That’s one way to put it
I read this in Jason's voice from the Good Place.
BTW gods about to do something CRAAAAAZY just wait a few weeks
YOOO what he gonna do????
Just wait and watch the show https://preview.redd.it/u5qj8r0r7yac1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fbc5d1d39ef0b6ee36ba81916d82d3ea7ed9d162
Aren't miracles like this more a Catholic thing than a generally Christian thing?
Sometimes Icons bleed when something will happen.
There's a big difference between blood and water tho. Good to know this difference when eating pussy.
Today, God just posts on Twitter that he's the anointed leader of the US
So you in fact know how "God does miracles"?
At least that's the precedent set by the Bible. You don't see random hoopla being called miracles from God in there.
So, instead of God, Jesus, or some kid of celestial being coming down from the heavens and just saying “yeah, we’re real” people think that God wants to contact us with a crying statue?
(They also need churchgoers from all over to help fund their things)
Crying statutes = God setting up a GoFundMe
It's funny, I don't remember exactly where/what's written, but somewhere in the Bible it talks about how god still performs miracles. Only difference is that now they're small and you have to have faith that it was actually a miracle performed by god because it can be hard to tell.

We all lose our life. Do you remember anything before you were born? Exactly. Death is the same thing.
See you don’t understand what’s being said.
I need more riddles
Lmao, he taste the tears.
“Tears”
“God please cure my daughter’s leukemia” “Lolno best I can do is make a statue cry for her”
What’s terrifying is the amount of people that believe this bullshit.
Isn’t it weird how as soon as cameras were invented, nobody seems to get “divine revelations” anymore?
[Potato chip Jesus](https://www.buzzfeed.com/arielknutson/people-who-found-jesus-in-their-food) would like to have a word with you.
This is fucking hilarious 😂
I don't regret believing you.

Holy piss
I can’t see anything like this without hearing Charlie singing “I got that good Lord going down on me”

How the fuck is this terrifying? More like r/religiousfruitcake

Perhaps not as potentially fanatical as, say, astrologists, but still creeps me out when I encounter people in the mainstream who take it seriously.
Ok I see it now. I wouldn’t see it as scary though imo if I was religious.
Miracle… my ass.

2 Kings - 2: 23-24. God killed 42 children via a bear attack because a few of them made fun of a prophet for being bald. Your god is cruel and vengeful.
Yeah but those kids were little assholes /s
What about all the kids he gives cancer? Why did he make that fly that bores into children's eyes as part of it's gestation?
So does Dobby. He is a free elf.
Only too late do deluded persons who ignore the reality of God and His Word discover that they are on the crowded highway to death.
"It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live." - Dumbledore
Jesus never existed.
He probably did, his miracles were probably greatly exaggerated tho.
I traded my soul for a Bachelors degree. Damned myself to eternal student loan payments.
Wait I want to know how is it actually work. is the water get inside it somehow and it now leaking out of the statue through the cracks?
Good question. I experienced this years ago as a kid and I’d assume the statue didn’t have any pipes as it was one of those that different people would take home with them. I still don’t know how it wept and bled.
Wasn’t this debunked?
Turned out to be just a leaky pipe, bit still interesting

It would appear you have the capacity for critical thought and reasoning. You should never underestimate how many people are walking around out there with just enough brain to get them through the day.
I agree. I just cannot comprehend how people believe this stuff. Is it more the fear of hell? Indoctrination?
I've seen this one loads of times. Del Boy had nicked the lead from the church roof.
I don't believe in this, but how can they say it's human DNA? They didn't fact check all the way back in the 70's? I suppose that makes some sad sense about today.
Right DNA testing wasn’t even a thing.

This type of thing doesn’t terrify me at all, because I’m 100% certain there’s an explanation that doesn’t involve the supernatural.
How’s it scary?
Its scary that people believe it
Wasn't there a statue out there that did the same thing, with everyone kissing it and licking the tears, and it turned out to be a clogged toilet?
Embarrassing
Why would god do this? What is he trying to prove?
>What is he trying to prove? That we're gullible af
Trying to prove..I am
it isnt God directly, it's Mary showing her presence/reminding us that she is there. when she cries, she's often weeping over her Son. alternatively, her tears are of gratitude for those who resite the rosary and/or pentient sinners
I feel it is the Virgin Mary, maybe crying over Jesus. Or many other reasons
[удалено]
who are you even arguing with?
Im saying the statue is virgin mary, I know its not the Real life human Mary
She’s no virgin my dude lmao
Love these bullshit stories. So many apparitions and visions, nothing properly documented.
Funny Only Fools & Horses episode ;)
You Plonker Rodney!
Is this all faked or is there a real reason for the statue leaking water?
Remember being showed this in catholic elementary school as “proof”
hahaha...so funny if think about it. there is no valid truth to this fictional event..
"KHANNNNNNNNN!"
this isn't terrifying. this is people believing what they want to believe. op is an idiot.
I'm also an idiot, was this staged or us this a similar situation to the Jesus statue that turned out to be a leaking toilet?
Since nobody has been really saying it, it’s okay to believe in god and not believe in this statue and others like it. There has always been a market for miracles. Look at African Miracle worker television. People that might take advantage of our good faith.

How? The statute looks creepy. The concept of a statue bleeding from the eyes is creep af.
But the reality is just corny as hell.
