7. The heirarchy of heaven is weird

All seeing, all knowing God doesn't answer your prayers. A Saint, or wannabe saint goes to God and says, "Hey, help this kid". All knowing, infallible God changes his mind and cures the kid. Then people here on Earth, and NOT God in heaven make them a saint.

How does that all work?

And what about all the prayers and miracles to Saints that later turned out not to be real people?
