Leonard Pitts Jr. | The Miami Herald
Chyanna Richards saw Jesus in her bathroom.

A few days ago, Richards, who lives near Houston, told a local TV news station she saw the image of Christ in a splotch of green mold on the wall above her tub. “People say, ‘Your house is blessed,’?” Richards said.

Not that there is anything unique about what she saw. To the contrary, the Son of God seems to pop up in some very odd places.

A woman in Port St. Lucie saw Him in a cell phone picture of her TV screen. A woman in Clermont, saw Him in a power meter. A Tampa Bay area man saw Him in a bathroom door. In Sullivan’s Island, S.C., a woman saw Him on the back of a dead stingray. In McLean, Va., a family saw Him in a tree in their front yard. A couple in Anderson County, S.C., saw Him on a Wal-Mart receipt.

The reader will doubtless note that these manifestations seem to concentrate in the South — the Bible Belt. They are not exclusive to that region but presumably, when people in relatively irreligious Philadelphia or Seattle see what appears to be a face on a banana peel, they are more apt to shrug it off.

Pareidolia <=== from Wikipedia.

The human brain is astoundingly centered on the image of the human face. Facial recognition is amongst the first thing a baby learns. So it's no wonder that humans see faces everywhere in random visual images. It is what the brain does naturally.

Seriously, someone needs to design a sandwich grill which has Jesus on the plates so everyone can have a cheesy Jesus.

I don't understand how anybody could mistake George Washington for Jesus. George doesn't even have a beard.
