Do you see Jesus in this bark? Neither do I, but this woman did. Frankly, I think she’s nuts. If anything, the picture below looks much more like Jesus.
I make fun of this stuff because I don’t buy in to any of these “icons” of religiosity. Paintings don’t bleed, or cry, or weep oil. And the shroud of Turin = fake. They’re a farce, a joke, a stain on the rest of us Christians who actually have a brain.
/me awaits bolts of lightning from heaven.

haha I had this on my Flickr page some time ago, found on Digg, I recently removed it though because I was sick of looking at this dog\’s asshole.
Creepy though.
LOL! Thanks, Mike! Now that\’s all I can see! I never would have recognized what that actually was …
Ben: Don\’t toss the idea of icons - legitimate icons from the eastern Christian tradition - just because of some fruity people who see Jesus in pancakes and whatnot! Take Chris J. Davis, for example; he is a great source for reverent, sacred, and real icons. He might be a good guy to chat with about icons.
But, I\’m with you, as far as the Jesus in the tree bark is concerned. I don\’t see it, at all.
I have to admit, I immediately saw it when I scrolled down to the dog\’s south side, and chuckled(with my hand over my mouth, of course)…..then I felt guilty for laughing.
@Mike: I have a feeling that I\’ll soon feel the same way
@Shawn: Are you talking about computer icons?
@Anthony: I did the same thing. I still feel guilty for laughing.
LOL! No! But I bet CJD can make some slick computer icons too.
I\’m still laughing … Who in the world would see Jesus in their dog\’s ass? Seriously?!? It\’s good for the soul, laughter …
see this conversation, Ben: CJD on Icons
Now I\’m wondering if this dog\’s owner preformed some type of grooming to render this effect in his dog\’s butt hair…maybe some strategic placement of certain hairs or maybe some coloring with makeup?
@Mike: I wouldn\’t be surprised. I also wouldn\’t rule out photoshopping.
@Shawn: Ah, I see what you mean. I\’m not against \”icons\” proper, more against the claim that the Virgin Mary appears in a piece of toast.
Right on, Ben.
Eh pedazo de pelotudo te queres ganar un tiro en la cabeza? insult
For those of us who don\’t speak Spanish here\’s a rough (very rough) translation of the comment by sebas:
Now, Sebas, there\’s some of that comment I don\’t understand but I get the drift that you\’re mad. But I want you to understand that I\’m a Christian. I\’m a minister too. I\’m not insulting our God. I\’m saying that when people \”see\” our God in a tree or what have you THAT is insulting to Him.
