... or so now says the Catholic Church. If stuff like this ain't enough to make one skeptical about organized religion, I'm not sure what is.:confused:

Yeah. And Jesus has graced a slice of toast with his image.

I never understood why people need all of this silly hooplah.

Pointy hats, curly toed elf shoes and bleeding statues, breakfast foods presenting holy apparitions?

Isn't the basic message of Christ good enough? I've always thought so.

Do we really need to have stories of people having epiphanies while grouting their bathtubs?

Good Lord:rolleyes:,

It was the "flowing blond hair" that got to me. That is why we left the "church" as it has become a business.

While having my morning BM the other day I was graced with an image of the Virgin Mary on my toilet paper.

Question is, do you think I can sell it on Ebay?
