Let me start out by saying that I'm an agnostic, who is leaning towards the belief that there is a God out there.
Now, after a little theology research I've came upon a few tidbits that have certinatly given me something to think about. Namely - miracles.
All I've heard about is Fatima, St. Bernedette and Padre Pio. Oh, and the 5 O'Clock news about a burned pancake with Jesus' image on it. While I can find 'natural' explinations for all of these, it has raised a doubt in my mind that there might indeed be a God out there. Now, my question is that, all of these 'miracles' have been Catholic. Such as at Fatima the lady that appeared to the three children named herself as, 'The Lady of the Rosery.'
My question is - does this show that Catholicism is the 'one true' (tm) religion or am I just being myopic in my knowledge?
Please, share with me any knowledge of miracles - either for or against.
oh, and I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum, please move it if it is. Also, as I'm questioning the whole Christianity thing, I'd perfer you stay away from quoting the bible, as right now I believe it to be a biased source. I guess I'm looking for something out there that says, "No, God has shown divine influence in other religions and denominations." So, assume I believe in the Christian God.
thanks.
