Woman Sees Jesus in Pizza Sauce Makes Rational People Laugh

“When Mary Louise Salerno saw Jesus Christ in a bucket of pizza sauce, her instinct was not to alert the media or even to tell many friends.”

*Facepalm* Why is it that the supposed divine son of God makes appearances in odd places like a bucket of pizza sauce? It’s below his level of dignity is it not? Those crazy fundamentalists are good for a laugh.

“That is when she saw it, the image of a man with long hair and a beard in the leftover sauce.”

This description accurately describes a good friend of mine though I’m not sure I’d want to see him unexpectedly staring at me, it’d be rather unnerving. The point is we have no actual proof of what Jesus (if he did exist) actually looked like. I’ve never understood how a man who was born in the Middle East is always portrayed in artwork as being European.

“Even an atheist would find it unmistakable.” I find it unmistakable that this image looks like what we believe Jesus looked like, not what he looked like. I also find it unmistakable that the people who believe this is some miraculous sign are completely off the wagon. “Mr. Salerno, 55 and also from Old Forge, said he is not a churchgoing man but he is religious, and seeing Jesus on that pizza sauce bucket was all the proof he needs.” Yup, completely off the wagon.

Interesting note: if you tilt your head a certain way it looks like a hotdog. Another view point makes it look like a, nah, I won’t bother saying what.
