:lol: true, but you have to respect someone using toast as an art medium, get rich quick scheme, internet meme and big news story all in one slice.

That gets me thinking about what God might think of that, so I try to put myself in his shoes, then I realize I would keep pranking that individual with creepy imprints in his wrinkled shirts, plate crumbs, carpet stains, etc.

Woman Sees Virgin Mary on Door

Texans See Jesus in a Moth

Idiot pays $28,000 for grilled cheese sandwich with Virgin Mary on it; woman sees Jesus in tortilla and 35,000 fools come to see it; man sees Jesus on fish stick; woman finds eggplant with "Allah" spelled in it by seeds; pilgrims travel to see potato shaped like Hindu god

"This clearly shows people that our god exists. It is a message to the nonbelievers," Abdullah Patel told Reuters, claiming that 4,500 people had visited his home within just weeks of the incident being reported.

Never underestimate the power of the human imagination, and our ability to delude ourselves with it. :lol:

"There's nothing to mourn about death any more than there is to mourn about the growing of a flower. What is terrible is not death but the lives people live or don't live up until their death. They don't honor their own lives, they piss on their lives. They shit them away. Dumb fuckers. They concentrate too much on fucking, movies, money, family, fucking. Their minds are full of cotton. They swallow God without thinking, they swallow country without thinking. Soon they forget how to think, they let others think for them. Their brains are stuffed with cotton. They look ugly, they talk ugly, they walk ugly. Play them the great music of the centuries and they can't hear it. Most people's deaths are a sham. There's nothing left to die."

:another day, another Jake philo post/joke informing us why our religious view is wrong even though judging, condescension and correcting lectures are at the core of your complaint about religion :lol:

If I told you I had a friend named Udo, that you couldn't see or hear but I know exists, which you respect that belief? Or would you think I'm crazy?

If I told you Udo is always with me, hears my thoughts, and helps me if I ask him - so long as what I'm asking is in accordance with his will, of course - would you respect that belief? Or would you think I'm crazy?

If I told you that when I die I'm going to take a similar form to Udo - he created me in his image, after all - and the two of us were going to hang out in paradise for eternity, would you respect that belief? Or would you think I'm crazy?

If I convinced enough people that Udo was real and they befriended him, too, and we worked to make society comply with our beliefs - perhaps even killed others in Udo's name because they didn't share our beliefs - would you respect our beliefs? Or would you think we were crazy?

I think we all know the answer to those questions.

And yet, I'm supposed to respect religion? :lol:

If we call this post "Number 5", instead of having you post that same repetitive shtick whenever religion comes up, can you just post "No. 5" and we'll all know what you mean?

Please take your proselytizing elsewhere. You're not going to gain any disciples here.

Speaking of faith, I like this video for a couple reasons.
