Atheists: How do you explain the incorrupted bodies of Roman Catholic saints and martyrs? (ex. St. Bernadette)
The same way I explain the incorrupted body of Napoleon Bonaparte: too much arsenic.

wow, gemma. if preserving corpses is the best miracle your God can pull off these days, then i'd dare say he's slipped considerably in the power department......

he used to be able to flood the entire world (and then somehow get rid of all that excess water), raise the dead, forge entire galaxies in the blink of an eye, level entire cities in displays of nuclear-style wrath....and now he's reduced to preserving corpses. how pathetic.

Are you trying to tell us that your were an accident? and that despite you parents' craziness you were conceived? Great God, no?

The catholics would lose I'm afraid. I mean, the pope is already decomposing eh?

No fair! Hindus burn their bodies!
Hey, maybe that means the bodies are absolutely uncorrupted!
