Right on. Meanwhile earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, destruction, disease, evil ~ atheism (same thing - almost?), death and damnation, as well as the pictures of Jesus in toast and cereal and socks and, and, and . . .
My personal favorite is Jesus on the drain pipe and the woman’s comment… “God only knows why he chose my drainpipe to appear on, but I hope this means I won’t have floods of pilgrims flocking to my house after this”
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a collection of more blatant cases of misidentification than these!
The last one is obviously George Washington (I guess I can understand why a Limey wouldn’t spot that though). On the drain pipe is an image of Scratchy at the end of an Itchy and Scratchy bit blatantly ripped right out of a second season Simpsons episode (no idea where the believer even managed to get a human out of that one). The chicken has a clear image of Viggo Mortensen on it (a bit of Hollywood worship there—always a little strange). The candy bar is Treebeard, from The Lord of the Rings (LotR fan theme going on here?). The frying pan is obviously intentional, but the guy screwed up and did Gregg Allman rather than Jesus (Gregg Allman is the celebrity whose image is the most often mistaken for Jesus by far, accounting for 87% of images mistaken for Jesus). The pizza is a rare manifestation of C3PO, and finally, on the sock we have a bunch of personalities. It’s primarily a portrait of Rutger Hauer, but there’s also a Romulan from Star Trek in the top of the mural, Boba Fet from Star Wars in the bottom left, and the SoBe lizard and an Amazonian Tree Frog cruising up the sock in-between the Romulan and Rutger Hauer. So thereyago ... all easily debunked.
I’m always amazed at how believers make such blatant identification errors in the obvious desperation to see Jesus and affirm their personal biases.
How do we know his mother was Mary and not Grace Bruce? Is there a DNA test available? Who was his father anyway? I’d really like to see the X chromosome on that.

If the drain pipe springs a leak (and where would that appear?) there will be floods of some sort.
I saw a mother wolverine trot up to a pack of wolves, put a serious beat-down on them, chase them off with their tails between their legs, and then drag their kill back to fed her children. Does that count as christmas miracle?
