I love how seriously Catholics took their fanfic to the point that they have Saints based solely on myth and "cool story bro" scenarios

You will be shocked but absolutely everything in Catholicism is based on myth and "cool story bro" scenarios.

I guess it was like doing Instagram pranks without the internet. "Yoooo, an angel just totally appeared to me" just to get attention back in that days when everyone was bored as fuck. If someone believes your bullshit, and writes it down and hides it for a thousand years, suddenly it's a religious fact

Check it out, it's the bone from Jesus's boner! Totally legit! My guy found it back there beside the boulder.

Man, I don't think there are real bones inside boners. You're full of shit. Besides, didn't the dude get reincarnated? What, did he forget that bone?

Yeah well, go fuck yourself. I'm gonna go show this to someone who knows about this sort of thing.

2000 years later, the plaque on a gilded chest reads "The Sacred Bone of the Boner"

Boner bone? Pfft, everyone knows that boners don't have actual bones inside them.

Dude it says it right there on the plaque, who are you gonna believe, some dumb old science teacher or the Pope

I read somewhere about some secret tooth cherished by some sect that was destroyed by grinding it to dust, mixing with shit and throwing in to the ocean. But guess what? Some fishermen said that he totally found the tooth restored floating on a leaf next to the place where they threw it out. You can't fight believes with real world methods.
