And then there's the Virgin of Guadalupe. Responsible for a whole truckload of conversions to Christianity.

Correction....conversions to Roman Catholicism.

There is a difference.

As long as it leads them to Jesus, I don't care.

I remember a story an old girlfriend told me -- either from a religious studies professor at college, or a missionary visiting her (VERY non-Catholic) Church.

The missionaries were undertaking to translate the Bible for some jungle tribe, and they got to the part about John the Baptist pointing out Jesus. This tribe didn't have sheep (the terrain was all wrong). So the missionaries translated the passage as

"Behold the frog of God, who takes away the sins of the world."

Thinking about that now, I'm wondering if that gave them problems later on when teaching about the Last Supper and "Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us."

But one step at a time.
