First the story:
Now living with her two college-age daughters, Coady turned to relatives and friends. She posted images of the iron on her Facebook account, and asked for input. Did they see what she saw in the residue on the bottom of her iron?
The answer from her relatives – including her daughters – was unanimous:They all saw Jesus Christ, Coady.recalled today. Strengthened by their support, Coady decided to share her story with others, beginning with an article published in today’s edition of the Eagle-Tribune newspaper of Lawrence.
Those silly Catholics! Jesus on an iron? Toast? An oil slick? IMPOSSIBLE! How do I know Jesus isn’t on any of those things? Because Jesus is in my home, on my fireplace heat reflector! Really! Below is an undoctored snapshot of the t’ing in the back of my fireplace. The black stuff is soot. The face? Obviously Jesus.
This genuine miracle is for sale to the highest bidder. Did Jesus come to my home? Let your wallet be the judge!
The picture on the bottom looks like 2 mice nibbling on stones.
hmmm… if I look at the left side of the image looks like a flaccid penis.
Our brains have specific mechanisms to recognize faces. Even as newborns, we are trained to look at faces all by our own minds. We see them everywhere and it’s no surprise that the religious see the face of Jesus everywhere. What I find most humorous is that the traditional “image” of Jesus is considered innacurate. One of his own disciples claims it is a disgrace for men to wear long hair. I doubt any of the disciples would make such a statement if their own god was indeed long in the locks. Instead, it is suggest that Jesus more than likely looked much like many middle eastern men appear today. He would have had short hair, a big beard, and dark skin (both from his diverse heritage and from being under the desert sun for his entire life). This is far from the traditional image of Jesus that we have come to know.
What is so funny is that this guy, who keeps popping up everywhere isn’t Jesus at all. But then who is he? Perhaps he keeps popping up in a vain attempt to say “hey, look, I’m NOT JESUS!” but he just happens to not be all-powerful and therefore cannot accurately convey the message. Or the message is conveyed, but no one want’s to hear it… or they can’t hear it over all the people screaming “It’s JEEBUS!!!”
Hell, I look like jesus… or a thin and pale Chuck Manson. But they’re not too far off from each other anyhow.
“Howdy, I’m Charlie Christ, your personal lord and savior. Eat me and paradise will be yours.”
It’s called ‘pareidolia.’

Thats not jesus, its a picture of phredum and jcc having sex.
Oh My!
So the type of person that would believe this is an image of jebus would have us all believe that their god is interested in putting forth effort to vandalize this woman’s iron, but not interested in putting forth effort to give food to the starving people in third world countries or to address any of the other myriad of sufferings in the world that are infinitely more important? This describes the behavior of someone who is bored and immature, not an omnipotent, indescribably intelligent and loving being.
What would happen if someone taking communion saw an image of jeebus on their wafer? Would they eat it any way or risk trying to get out the door with it?

In these images I see a great bringer of wisdom – The Dude. In the fireplace image you can see his Dudeness on the right, and on the left (his right shoulder) he is carrying his rug – it really brings the room together.
The Dude abides.
I regularly make an image of jesus every morning
You should show this to Christians for huge profits, then use it to fund American Atheists.
no I just flush the pile of image down the toilet
