I wonder if anyone ever queried exactly how they know these things 'look like' Christ or 'resemble' the Virgin Mary, when as far as I am aware there are no photographs or contemporary images of said individuals?

That oyster shell only vaguely looks like a human face. How they can claim that it looks like a specific person who supposedly lived 2000 years ago I have no idea.

Pathetic doesn't even begin to describe it.

From Lucien's link:
Tinky Winky, the purse-toting purple Teletubbie, was in 1999 declared a homosexual role model by Reverend Jerry Falwell.

Matteo Brandi, 38, may hope to repeat the success of a Florida woman who sold a piece of toast said to bear an image of the Virgin Mary for $28,000.
OMFG. Honestly, I just can't see why someone could pay that kind of money for a piece of toast and not realise that if they spent this money on millions of toasts for some poor children for example, they'd be a much better Christian. It's not amusing at all, as for me.

:eek: Wow that's really giving me ideas.

Nice, fraudulent, go-to-the-bad-fire ideas. :twisted: Oooh the possiblities are endless - won't have to go on You Say We Pay with Richard & Judy if I want to make a fast buck now.

I once saw a cloud that looked a bit like von. :von:
Ok that's a lie.

You know, I hadn't thought of it like that. Very good point.

Pperhaps someone with enough money to throw away like that should consider Mark 10:25 if they think of themselves as a Christian. :|

The toast was won by a casino, so its goal is to rake money in, not distribute it out charitably. Granted, I would not be too surprised if a few Christians with too much money on hand placed bids, but the winner probably was not a Christian casino.

Mark's biblical verse may make more sense if camel is translated as rope. I am no Aramaic translator, though.

:eek: Well, there you go. I had been told that the "eye of a needle" was an idiom for the little-door-in-a-big-door that you would have had in the doors in city walls back then. A door big enough to get people through, and you would only open the big one if carts, etc. were coming through. And obviously it's a bit tricky getting a camel through a people-sized door.

odd. i've always assumed it was just an example of a very small thing and a very big thing, purely to illustrate the point that "it aint ever gonna happen". never thought for a second it had (or needed) any actual practical meaning...

What I don't get is:

They're making money from cashing in on their messiah / their messiah's mam.

That isn't very Christian.
