I mean really...
In keeping with the post below 'Faith in inanimate objects', I was bored and thought Hey, I'll just go to eBay and see what people are trying to make a profit from. The newest scam seems to be the 'Wheres jesus' game. This was the only one on the list, but I was glad to see the guy put such a description. I love how these ppl auction this stuff off and say things like, "Its someone elses turn". Yet youre selling the thing off! Instead of giving it to your neighbor or family, you want to see how much money you can get from it cos you know someone somewhere will buy it. A piece of toast...no, a burnt piece of toast. Nothing more, up to $1.25. You can buy a loaf of bread for that much and burn it all to look like the nativity scene and sell that instead...hmm, i gotta run to the store really quick. Below is the description for the burnt toast on eBay.
"Up for bid is what I believe to be a genuine religious revelation. We have all seen countless scams and imitations of revelations like this before. I myself have laughed at them, and until yesterday I doubted the sincerity of all of them. Now I can only wonder. What if the increasing frequency of these signs is no accident?
I made my daily two slices of toast. I was running late and rushing to get too much done and I burnt them both. Thinking my breakfast ruined, I deposited it in the trash and decided to stop at the bakery instead. This religious artifact would have been lost to the landfill if I had not, from the corner of my eye, glimpsed the face of the son of our lord Jesus Christ looking back at me from the bin.
I stopped in my tracks. How do I describe the moment of Revelation? The bakery was forgotten. The commute to work forgotten. It was a moment of clarity, and I was filled with a sense of peace and well-being. The sensation was almost electric, the hair on my neck was on end. In that one moment a lifetime of question and doubt was gone.
Look at the picture and ask yourself if it speaks to you on a deep and personal level. It CANNOT be mere accident, mere chance. It doesn’t merely resemble Jesus, it cannot be imagined or twisted into something that looks like a face. It IS clearly and undeniably the face of Christ. This is my sincere belief. Think upon the quote from the top of this listing, and reflect upon His use, once again, of BREAD as a symbol of His body.
This toast is exactly as it came out of the toaster. The toast and the photographs are completely un-retouched. The burnt areas were not scraped off or brushed away. The burn was caused by my GE toaster oven and the hand of a higher power.
Amid all the fakes and frauds and scams, this is your opportunity to possess real physical evidence of the existence of God. I no longer need the relic itself. I know it was not the actual toast that touched my heart but the spirit God from within it. I am passing that experience on to you. Bidding starts at $0.01."
