It's ABSURD When Images Of Jesus Or Mary Are Seen As Miracles In Everyday Objects
Window condensation, burnt toast, even cat fur have been idolized when faint images similar to icons of Jesus or Mary are perceived. ABSURD. First the icons they resemble are not proven to be what Jesus and Mary looked like they're just Renaissance era interpretations of how they'd look. Second natural and random processes can explain all those shapes. And third revering those shapes as holy miracles is actually guilty of the same idolatry worship which Jesus criticized. Frankly if I were the devil one of my favorite tricks would be to whip out these false idol images.

People look too deeply into things sometimes. They look for things instead of coming across them randomly. This is really sad especially if they ARE looking out for them.

Well, you have to admit...a potatoes chip shaped like Jesus? Pretty darn cool. I would keep that chip forever.

As for worshipping it...completely pointless. These things are just coincidences made by random processes and chemical reactions and don't mean anything. Yes, it could be seen as worshipping another idol, which is against God.

Plenty of people have claimed to be Jesus, let alone seen images of Jesus.
Isn't imagination wonder...

I thought Ted Nugent was trying to contact me from beyond the grave. Then I found out he’s not dead he just has one of those reality shows. Which means it must be Jesus’s face I keep seeing in my matzah ball soup.

Yes, this is certainly ludicrous and people who claim to see Jesus in toast and Mary in grilled cheese sandwiches are--at best--confused about what faith is all about or should invest in a shrink as soon as possible, rather than spend their money on such eBay nonsense. Faith is trusting in something or someone that you cannot physically see. Faith is a personal display of commitment on the part of the believer.

Those who believe in God can probably point to times in their life when they felt His presence spiritually, but not physically. When my father died suddenly a couple of years ago, I certainly did feel His presence, and that was a huge help to me. But I didn't need toast or moldy grilled cheese sandwiches for any of this.

Be it real or memorex (dating myself there), who cares? OK, there's an image of Jesus in the toast. Let's say it's the spitting image of Jesus. So what? It proves Jesus? To who?

Since god did it, it's important? More important than what? More important than grapes?

I really want to hold back my attacks on the roman catholic church but we all know what glorifies the images. The roman catholic church and most of it's subsidiaries have an image fetish.

This indeed is one of the high points of human folly. Do these people really believe Jesus was some bearded white boy in a smock and that his mother was some snow-skinned Swedish-looking virgin? Mary probably looked more like Whoopi Goldberg and Jesus would have looked more like the Reverend Wright.

Wasn't there a ridiculously high price bid for a bit of toast sold on ebay that supposedly had Mary's face on it?

Of course it's absurd. Religious nutballs see Jesus in just about everything, the two most recent examples are multiple cases of finding Jesus in bags of Cheetos and seeing Mary in the mold around a floor drain.

Anyone who takes these things seriously is an idiot.

It is not absurd. It is Jesus' way of showing all of you idiotic nonbelievers that he does exist. However, some of us are so stupid that we cannot see the writing on the wall. God is all around us. Get over it. He will continue to make his presence known to help all of you poor, lost creatures who are nonbelievers.

 Flash, I do believe in Jesus, I do believe in God. I don't believe window condensation crudely shaped like a bearded man is a product of Jesus, and I especially don't believe Jesus would want you to bend down and worship window fog. He'd probably be disappointed.
