It being their story doesn't matter, how it is interpreted by the people who are deciding who gets sainthood is what would matter in this discussion, right?
Sorry. I thought it was your opinion that they are anti-saints. The Jewish story doesn't say that. Only the Christian interpretation.
I think she was being flippant about that.
I can live with doubt, and uncertainty, and not knowing. I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. [...] I don’t feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in a mysterious universe without having any purpose, which is the way it really is, as far as I can tell, possibly. It doesn’t frighten me. - Richard Feynman

Ah, yes, sorry, I know sarcasm doesn't always translate well in text. I was being a bit flippant/silly and saying it as from a Catholic viewpoint (since they are the ones choosing saints), not meant to be my actual thoughts :)

1. They had sex.

2. They were the original nudists.
