Two in two days. This time, it’s a woman who insists the pattern in her kitchen tile is Christ. They help us to “see” that by holding up a postcard with the particular god dude for comparison.
The pattern in my bathroom looks either like Bart Simpson hiding in some bushes, or maybe Sideshow Bob, if his hair was over his eyes. And yet, I’m sure it’s neither of those things. Just another case of pareidolia.

Here, see? All I’ve done is darkened the photo to make the image a little easier to see.
Does it not look like some kind of Simpsons character with something like a lather of soap or a head of lettuce obscuring the features? I’m not crazy. I’m not!

That is the most ridiculous thing I’ve seen recently.
Although I do not presume to to say that Jesus Christ is or isn’t the Son of God, because of this moment I’m still asking myself that question. However, I do presume that if there is a Son of God, whether Jesus or not, why would he be hanging out on this woman’s tiled floor?
Where do they find these people and why are they allowed to roam freely in public? I don’t suppose she could point me to a scripture in the Bible that states Christ will appear, from time to time, on things such as tile, mountain sides, pieces of toast, and the like?
I didn’t think so.

I don’t think I mind that they wander the world. I think I mind that people who work for the media give them column space and fifteen minutes of fame. It’s not news, it shouldn’t be presented in a news format. She should get a “how nice for you!” platitude and a pat on her back and sent on her way. But that’s not how the media seems to want to deal with stuff like this. It’s dumb, so let’s photograph her for the world to see…
