Sweet Mary, mother of God?

[Beady]

No, really! That's the headline (http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/08/17/chocolate.mary.ap/index.html):

Since the discovery of the drippings under a vat on Monday, employees of Bodega Chocolates have spent much of their time hovering over the tiny figure, praying and placing rose petals and candles around it.

I wonder what's next? A Mary-shaped turd?

From the article: For Jacinto, the discovery came just in time. The single mother said she has struggled with personal problems for months and says she was about to lose her faith.



"Yes, even though my child is sick, I work a dead end job for no pay, and my husband cheats on me, I know that the all powerful, all loving god is capable of making lumps of chocolate."

[Beady]

I wonder how it's affected productivity at the candy factory?

How can you not worship a god who communicates with you through lumps of chocolate?

[KingMerv00]

I would like to reiterate. Game over man. Logic has lost.

Kinda rough for diabetics.

Dude. . . it's holy chocolate. It'll heal all your ills.

If you're diabetic, eating enough of it will let you see God.


I've been Type II for years, so I know what I'm talking about!

[Moon-Spinner]

Silly people, it's so obvious that the chocolate lump is an OWL!

[Danhalen]

Am I the only one who is reminded of Divine Interventions (http://divine-interventions.com/) when I look at the lump of chocolate?

The sad part is I bet you could convince some people of that.

The even sadder part is if you weren't so moral you could make a <rule 8>load of money doing it. . .

My idea of a Jesus-shaped turd is beginning to look more attractive.

[KingMerv00]

It is a remarkable stroke of luck that Mary looks like a bell curve. Gravity has a nasty habit of forming bell curves out of anything viscous enough.

Chocolate.
Grease on windows.
Guano.

Holy ****! That's a great idea.

Man is most spiritual in the WC.

It's also a great place to find the Lord. Many a time at home I've banged on a locked bathroom door and yelled "Jesus Christ, will you get out of there!"

When you where in or outside the bathroom?

Quite ironic that an atheist is too moral to scam gullible Christians, when Christian preachers do it everyday on TV.

[Ripley Twenty-Nine]

Anyone find it strange that the number of Jesus/Mary sightings in common items seems to be directly proportional to the amount GoldenPalace.com is willing to pay for these items?

At least that's what I'd say if I was cynical of such things. ;)

Given the discovering agent in this case, and in a great many of these cases in the past decade, that would be a Maria shaped turd. How about a little cultural sensitivity, man? :)

The Cult of the Virgin is being imported, though I am not sure if the trafficking is legit or illegal. I wonder that the American contingent of the Randi Crew isn't leaping to arms, with the aim of preventiong "woo" by preventing the importation of "woo" bearing agents into the land.

Maybe I should check the politics forum and see what I missed on that score.

I'm sure chemical analysis will show it to be a locally-available brand. Thus proving that God just doesn't want to be proven by producing a copy of that brand rather than his own, unique yahwehstylings.

Or maybe he stole it off a shelf somewhere and transported it there.

[wolfgirl]

I have always worshipped chocolate, anyways...what could be more worthy of our worship?

[Beerina]

and my husband cheats on me

I can't imagine why. :jaw-dropp

[FarSideOfTheMoon]

I wish I worked there, I'd love to 'accidentally' stand on it.

[Brainache]

I saw some chocolate shaped like giant eggs last Easter. Therefore God is a big chicken.
