Holy Potato
http://www.thelocal.de/11747/



Birgül Balta, 49, was cutting potatoes for French fries at her home in Berlin's Charlottenburg district when the cross-shaped cavity inside one of the spuds stopped her cold.

"There was a strange sort of crackling sound like pressure was being released. When she opened it she found that - two perfect crosses," Balta's husband, Robert White, told The Local.

Balta, a Muslim, called her family and neighbors to witness what local newspaper Berliner Morgenpost is calling "the miracle of Berlin-Charlottenburg."

"Everyone was deeply stirred," Balta told the paper. "Some of them even began to weep and to pray."

4. Hmm..
It couldn't be that the cross motif was hijacked from the natural and paegan worlds by the Catholic Church as part of their incorporation of ancient symbols, could it? Sometimes a potato is a potato.

the Jesus fish is actually based off a symbol of a vagina...except it's been rotated 90-degrees.

8. not to mention that Jesus does not fit into the recorded history
other than that written by the Church. Was he a real man? possibly and maybe probable. Did he die and then come back to life? Nope. It's most likely that Jesus was just another radical that struck a chord, and those in the position of power made a fantastic martyr out of him.
