What is Wrong With These People?
My brother sent me this picture today. Have a look at it and tell me what, if anything, you see in there.
Now read the caption from Yahoo:
Tens of thousands of people have come over the last several days to view this image in a hospital window that many believe resembles the Virgin Mary at Milton Hospital in Milton, Massachusetts, in the United States. Faced with a rush of pilgrims, the hospital said on Thursday it will cover the shimmering image to avoid further disruption.
I love that Mary is popping in odd places like suburban shopping malls like a fucking a ufo, but seriously, what the fuck is wrong with these people?
And this is not just a handful of people. This is Tens of thousands of people.So many that they are disrupting the operation of this hosptial.
Where are these people coming from? Are they that depsparate for something even this small to grasp onto to bolster their faith? I don't understand it. Perhaps someone can explain it to me. Then again, there are a lot of things I don't understand.
And why is it alway Mary who appears? Perhaps it's someone else. Maybe it's Jane Russell. I'd be more willing to believe that.

'What is Wrong With These People?'.
I think those people are either fanatics or their own faith is so weak that they jump at any sign they think proves the existence of God. It's like those pictures they use in psychiatric testing; people often see what they want to see.
