Jehosaphat and his merry men

Monday Moan

Ok - so it's neither Monday, nor am I moaning...but I forgot to moan on Monday and now I get sent this link by my sister.

www.myspace.com/isthisjesus

Check it out.

So this is really a Thursday morning question (if you have a Thursday thought Will and I'm weeing on your tent, well, sorry, but we can discuss two things can't we?).

Firstly this campaign (see I told you to check it out, if you don't you're not going to understand any of this) is inspired by people who see Jesus in their washing machine/pizza box/dirty baking tray/carpet. I like to think there is a word for these people.

Crazy.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not against the whole God moves in mysterious ways thing, and I'm not saying that God can't apear a Jesus in a stain on the bottom of my coffee cup. What I am saying is why would He?

And let's face it these images that people see are often tentative at best. Most are coincidence I'm sure of it. Plus - I once saw a cloud that looked just like Batman - was he trying to reveal his true nature to me also?

But other than that is this campaign going to acheive anything (go back and check the link - why don't you listen to me?) in the real world? Are people goign to talk about Christianity, or are they going to, like me, use it as an opportunity to mock the crazy Christians who see Jesus (or Mary - not Elliot [Snr or Jnr]) in their Kung Po prawns and fried rice?

Discuss.

Some are crazy some are just having a laugh. I'm not sure any of it does the church (or Jesus for that matter) much good. I've got a photo at home of Jesus in a tortilla - not my photo - one off the tinterweb. I'll try to post it later.

No not wearing a tortilla - that would be stupid...
