Useless without pics.

While digging in my back yard in Florida I unearthed a curious stone formation that seemed put there just to influence my finances.

It was a septic tank, and had to be replaced.

While digging in my back yard in I unearthed a curious bone formation that seemed put there just to jog my memory of that time I gave that hooker a drunken savage beating, then buried the evidence.

I spread some topsoil, planted some tulips and went inside for a beer.

FTFA:

"I took anatomy and physiology years ago - it's a right hand," Grayhek told the Coeur d'Alene Press.

It's a good thing you were there to identify it then. Most of us uneducated rubes have no idea what a right hand looks like.

Grayhek said he's been in and out of work the past few years and has prayed for guidance. He said the rock is a sign from God to not let his faith falter - and is part of God's plan to help him financially.

Yes, God made sure to answer your specific prayer for financial aid by giving you a hand-shaped rock to sell on eBay. The millions dying of starvation and disease every year prayed, but God thought your request was more important. It's all about you. You must be one special guy.

/loathes the selfishness inherent in praying for money for yourself
//loathes the idea that an omnipotent, omnipresent deity cares one iota about the minutia of your everyday life even more

Ennuipoet: Get your bid on!^

Question for seller:

Don't you feel it is selfish to assume that the Lord will take care of you financially when thousands of people pray just like you do every day, but still end up starving to death? Money you make from this item should not go to line your pockets. It should go to those who have less than you. This is the proper way to honor your commitment to Christ, if it is at all genuine. Please consider Acts 4:32-35 before using a sign from the Lord to personally enrich yourself. Debts incurred as a graduate student are no reason to turn your back on the teachings of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I implore you to donate at least 50% of your earnings to charity. Your eternal reward will be greater than any number of dollars you could give up.

A couple years back while on a road trip roadside pee break, I found a finger laying on the ground.

It was actually a rock in the perfect shape of a finger, finger colored, with a perfect fingernail. It is absolutely creepy, and I've kept it to this day.

What do you think my 'UFIA of God' would pull on eBay?


/pull my UFIA, huh huh

Proxibid is for large sales, ie, Universities selling palettes of crap or someone auctioning off construction equipment. Bonanzle has a tiny fraction of eBay's userbase and a piddling selection in comparison. Yep, those both stack up to a fair...oh wait, it's a fraction of what you can buy/sell on eBay.

I shall buy it place a speaker aimed at it, so that people can, using their touch tone telephone (for only 99 cents a minute) can talk to the hand.

That, squared.

And while we're on the subject of religious eBay artifacts, why the hell would Jesus run around stamping his face on boards, rocks and unfolded socks just to give some random person something to sell on eBay after they've lost their jobs? I mean, it just seems that a better solution would be appearing at their local church on Sunday during Mass, making a huge pile of money appear on the floor, and telling everyone to use it to help people in their community who are struggling financially. The idea that a someone is running around trailer parks slamming his head into trees just to leave an impression of his face seems more like the mark of someone who desperately needs medication than of a deity.

While digging in my back yard, I found the grave of Suzy, the girl I took to the junior prom ten long years ago. I built a cage with her bones. It was exciting.

"I took anatomy and physiology years ago - it's a right hand,"

It really takes studies of both disciplines to properly identify a right hand.

Why "God" specifically?

Why is it every time there's a big hand or foot, it's God? Why is it whenever pareidolia causes something to look a bit like a bearded man, it's Jesus? Why is it that any feminine form is Mary?

I mean, why not Zeus? Why not Superman? Why not George from the corner store? Why not something other than members of the Christian pantheon?

What is in that wine they feed you guys, anyway?

...because it's usually a Christian that finds it, sees a pattern they recognize, and thinks of it as a personal sign from God, just for them. ...And then tries to sell it.


So what have we learned today?

Christians like to see the meaningful in the meaningless,
they are narcissists because it's THEIR sign from God,
and they are greedy little bastards who are willing to sell a grilled cheese sandwich for a few bucks.
