It's true Team Atheist, I can't make this shit up. A super old relic, on loan from those equally fat and drunk Greek Orthodox'ers, is on display for the first time in the winter vodka-bearville called Comrade Russia. Why...
"The Belt of the Virgin Mary is believed to help women’s fertility and cure illnesses. It toured ten other Russian cities before arriving in the capital."
“There is something I need to ask. Nobody in this line is here just for fun,” said 40-year-old Ivan, who was waiting at the front of the line for his wife and child."
“I joined the line at midnight, so it’s been about 12 hours,” he said. The wait could be up to 26 hours, news agencies said.
“I am 74, and I have suffered a heart attack. I am handicapped in my arm and leg,” said another man, identifying himself as Vladimir, after exiting the imposing white cathedral and leaning on his wife’s supporting arm."
“Maybe it will help?” he said, tears welling up in his eyes (National Post)."
OK, let's see. The fakey fake Shroud of Turin has been on tour (to raise money of course) and last year the (alleged) Jesus' foreskin was on tour in Europe somewhere (remember that, I try not to). And now we have the Immaculate Belt on tour, the belt that will cure ills or save the dwindling Russian population (read the article) by allowing not-fertile women to be fertile.
In the meantime, people, real people that need help are clinging to ghosts and superstition.
Oh please. Wait. Oh, that was Lourdes calling...they said hey Russia, you are fakey fake.
Awesomeness.
