The Vatican may have stolen Jesus's foreskin. And get this, before it was taken it performed miracles!

This wasn't just the residuum of any holy human—nor was it just any body part. It was the foreskin of Jesus Christ, the snipped-off tip of the savior's penis, the only piece of his body he supposedly left on earth.

Yeah Christianity isn't weird or anything. His foreskin?

Even before its disappearance, the relic had a strange history. It was discovered in Calcata in 1557, and a series of miracles soon followed (freak storms, perfumed mists engulfing the village). The church gave the finding a seal of approval by offering a 10-year indulgence to those who came to venerate. Lines of pilgrims stretched from the church doors to beyond the walls of the fortress town. Nuns and monks from nearby villages and monasteries made candlelit processions. Calcata was a must-see destination on the pilgrimage map.

Now see this is why it so hard for those of us who look at the world logically to understand how people can believe this kind of thing. I mean his foreskin is, by some incredible set of circumstances, saved for posterity. And then it is responsible for creating freak storms and mists of perfume?

Well if just the tip of his winky was this powerful, think what a bad-ass Jesus must have been!
