"Christ on a chipatti..."

Just got this in a mail. Surely living proof that religion is dumb.

=======================================
"Thousands of Christians are flocking to a church in southern India to
catch a glimpse of what is thought to be the image of Jesus Christ on a
chapatti.

Asian News International says Sheela Anthony, a resident of Bangalore,
made the discovery while preparing chapattis for lunch for her children.

The children refused to eat one of them as it was partly burnt.

After looking at it carefully, she found what she thought was an image
of Christ on the burnt portion.

Ms Anthony said: "I couldn't believe my eyes and kept looking at it.
With a lot of hesitation, I showed it to my daughters and neighbours
who confirmed that it was indeed Jesus."

The "holy chapatti" has been displayed in the Renewal Retreat Centre
church in Bangalore for public viewing.

Father George Jacob a spokesman for the church confirmed the image was
indeed that of Jesus and believes it is "a miracle"

He said: "Being a staunch devotee of Jesus it was Sheela's great gift
to other followers. From morning till late in the evening, around
20,000 people came to catch the glimpse of Lord Jesus on the chapatti."

erm...

I'd hardly go round calling religion 'dumb', because not all Christians are like that, but it did make me chuckle, especially this part:

"With a lot of hesitation, I showed it to my daughters and neighbours
who confirmed that it was indeed Jesus."

That would be a Chicken Tikka roll.

Damn nice too

I think whatever you've been eating is rotting your brain.

Before he was crucified, he did break some bread and say it was his body.

Maybe this was a prophesy! Maybe what the bible described as bread, was actually a Chippatti!

And when he compared the wine to his blood, maybe he was prophesying(horrible spelling, I know) SHEEPY's coke.

I think we should mix the coke and Chippatti together.
Then worship it.

What do you think?

Sorry *a percentage* of the population is poor.

Nit picker.

I rechon Sniper's the second coming, he's just yet to realise it.

Maybe God was going to make him in the form of a chimpanzi (sp) and make all the monkies revolt against us humans because we're gay.

Alas, he made a mistake.

*Everyone* in India is not 'so poor'

Years ago, when we were re-decorating the living room, there seemed to be an image of Jebus on the cross. Mum noticed it.

We shrugged an papered over it.

To borrow Mystique's phrase... "true story!"
