Jesus in a potato. Again.

The page has a crawl, so it takes a couple of moments to load on some connections:

So do you think churches will replace communion wafers with potato chips in light of this development?

Now that you mention it, Tricky, I have seen several potato chips with cross-shaped dark areas on them...

Still, why is Jesus appearing in vegetables?
Starch is sacred?

Would a Jeebus potato chip neutralise the burning ring of fire experienced the day after eating the devils own salsa

One can't help but to be in awe of a being who appears in a potato. His power is truly amazing!

Gastronomically speaking, using potato chips would mean a switch from red to white wine. That would screw up the holy mystery of the Eucharist, because white wine can't be blood.

"Take this Barbeque chip....it is my body. Take this wine....it is my excretions."

It just doesn't flow as well.

...What if you like Habanero chips, with ' the taste of Hellfire'? Would J. to the S. to the KRST approve?
