These Jesus sightings are getting pretty lame. (plus they drive down the value of my Jesus on toast auction on e-bay).

I once saw a kid smoke a grasshopper. Now THAT'S news.

I do not understand the thought processes of people who believe in these sightings.

With all the objects in the world, some things will bear a passing resemblance to the popular depiction of Jesus. Pointing them out might be fun, I guess. But do people actually think that Jesus is up there, planting his likeness in various every day objects? If he wanted to send signals that he was real, one would think that he could find less roundabout ways to do it. And if not making himself known except through the Bible is part of free will or whatever, then why expose himself via grilled cheese sandwiches?

Somebody should start a hunt for "things that look like George Washington". I bet he'd catch up pretty fast..

Interesting, all I saw was one of those Easter Island head statues.

And he's either flicking us off, or *very* happy to be there. Hard as a rock, even.

Looking at the picture I've got to say it doesn't look like Jesus to me. More like a woman or something...?

Your problem is you're trying to use logic to understand religion.

Thanks to the lunatic fringe for this never ending slew of counterproductive misrepresentations.

I see Jesus, that's obvious, but I wonder which of the desciples has his head up Jesus' robe?

 
Razorwolf [TotalFark] 2008-06-26 06:27:13 PM  
That's not Jesus, that's a chick in a long dress getting skirt-munched by a finger-food porter at a ballroom party. She's up against the bathroom sink so she can spread her legs without her drunk ass falling over.

Seriously, Jesus is in the muffins.

 
Megain [TotalFark] 2008-06-26 07:27:20 PM  

pareidolia aside...

The company owners say they feel blessed to have the piece and hope to sell it and donate the proceeds to a struggling church in Madill, Oklahoma.
i'm curious as to why they picked a small church in podunk, OK

theorellior 2008-06-26 07:54:36 PM  
That weird claw-looking think looks like a gasoline pump nozzle, so I think that either Jesus is sympathizing with our terrestrial plight or he's fueling up the Escalade for a quick getaway.

Jesus creates granite in a geological process called Magic.

Company owners say the image is unique, especially since hunks of granite are sliced into slabs, like pieces of bread.....

Yeah, whenever I want a sammich I say, "Gimme some slabs of bread."

It looks like Jesus is getting some head from a bald eagle.

Because most of the world happens to be both a) not Christian and b) lactose intolerant. He is reaffirming the true religion in the one place most of the world will never look- processed dairy foodstuffs.

I see Jesus in a hot tub with a joint in his right hand.

You mean like a cigarrett or like a piece of salmon?

 
Hoopy Frood 2008-06-26 08:00:27 PM  
Those who look at the 6x10 foot slab say they can see the head and arms of Jesus, along with either a belt, sword or glowing book.

They can't tell a book from a sword, but they're sure it's Jesus. What denomination are they, Rorschachtarians?

 
Norad [TotalFark] 2008-06-26 08:01:42 PM  
If they sell it on eBay, I bet the shipping charges will be a biatch.

Let he who is without sin cast the first granite slab.

seminole87: aerojockey: It looks like Jesus is getting some head from a bald eagle.

To me it looks like He is raising his leg so that the guy behind him and slip it in more easily.


i think he's got a gun

he's just out celebrating the supreme court decision

Uhm. If anyone can see jesus in that can they circle the area I'm supposed to be looking in or something?

Granite, I can see the image, but the Bible doesn't say anything about Christ being stoned.
