Virgin The Movement

I am very skeptical of this miracle, but then, you would expect me to be. The problem I have about miracles of this fashion is that they serve no real purpose but to draw attention away from the focus of Christianity, which is Christ. What would the reason be that a statue would move its feet, and why would it not do it again or in a more public place? I do believe in miracles some what, but I don't believe that supernatural things happen for the shear purpose of gaining notoriety, just like the "virgin mary in grill cheese" debacle.

I never have and never will believe in magic, so I don't believe statues move. If I can't see it, hear it, feel it, or feel the effects, it doesn't exist as far as I'm concerned. I just posted on another thread that is interesting to me that Italians tell Americans how to worship their God.
