Hmm, if <a href="http://www.pegasusnews.com/contributor/chris-curotolo/">that's Jesus</a>, then we are all going to hell.

Hmm, if that's Jesus, then we are all going to hell.

Verona Marble Co. in Dallas has a 1,000-pound granite slab originally from Brazil that supposedly has the image of Jesus. The stone was originally in Tulsa, but nobody would buy it because, up there, they don't see Jesus, they just see a rock with flaws. But not here in Dallas, praise the Lord. The owner of Verona says that the rock came to him "for a reason -- I don't know why but it did" -- and he'll donate it to a church in Oklahoma.

Tulsa is still in Oklahoma, right? So the stone's side trip to Dallas helps the good people from Oklahoma now see with new eyes?

Ahh, he'll donate money from the sale of the blessed rock to a church in Oklahoma. Maybe that will help them to recognize holy imagery sooner...?

Thanks for the additional info, but it still has quite a way to go before it makes sense.

I once found a potato chip in a bag of Lay's that looked just like Jesus. I ate it. It was pretty good.

Fri Jul 29,11:26 AM ET SARAJEVO (Reuters) - Christians are flocking to a northwestern Bosnian town to view an image of Jesus Christ that allegedly appeared in a section of a cut tree branch two days ago, Bosnian media reported Friday. The image resembling Jesus' face cannot be seen from a close distance but only from a few meters away. The branch in the town of Bijeljina was cut about a year ago, said Oslobodjenje daily. Sceptics have dismissed the image as a freak of nature, but pilgrims have been streaming to the tree, kneeling before it to pray, lighting candles, leaving money and cutting off bark to take home. The region's Serb Orthodox bishop Vasilije visited the site and said church officials would discuss the phenomenon and advise believers how to behave. He appealed to visitors not to destroy the tree and not to leave money at the site. Source: Yahoo News

People are funny, so I laugh at them.

I'm reminded of the incident of Jesus in the window film at one of those older apartment complexes north of Fort Worth. The owners of the complex agreed to donate it to a religious organization, mostly so that the residents wouldn't continue to be bothered by "pilgrims". A crowd gathered to watch the removal of the pane, and it BROKE! Someone in the crowd commented to the news reporter to the effect that, "I guess He just didn't want to move." Can't blame Him. These days it seems as though you meet nicer folk at low income apartment complexes than at most churches.

If I had a nickel for everytime I saw Jesus in my poop...I could probably trade them in for a quarter.

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.

Apparently Jebus is the only person - ever - to have a head and arms. Terrific find, y'all!

Scott- That's probably a bit more than we wanted to know about you.

People see what they want to see.

Can I ask the intelligent question today? Not even the Gospels nor the Apocrypha describe Jesus in any way shape or form. How do we know what he looks like? The (largely discredited) Shroud of Turin? Probably some graverobber stole the shroud from a corpse of a well to do family, and cunningly sold it to a bishop as the burial shroud of Jesus.

If you believe in the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, quit degrading your beliefs and yourselves by searching for him in your toasted peanut butter and banana sandwich. You know, the image in the slab looks more like George Carlin, trying to give everyone the finger, if you ask me.
