Employees were ironing a shirt when they noticed an usual set of wrinkles that resembled an apparition of the Virgin Mary. Comet Cleaners first grabbed the attention of the faithful and headlines back in May 2009 when a stain on an ironing board appeared in the image of the revered Catholic figure.

First appearance: 'Virgin Mary' appears at Valley dry cleaner

This, along with personal interpretation end times left behind nonsense only feeds the liberal stereotype that Christians are simpletons, buffoons, and morons.

What makes it difficult for the rest of Christianity is the fact that those who subscribe to this and to personal interpretation end times left behind nonsense are.

Sometimes, a wrinkled shirt is just, a wrinkled shirt.

Pareidolia is a psychological phenomenon involving an ability to perceive input stimulus as significant. Common examples include seeing images of animals or faces in clouds, the face on Mars, the man in the moon, and seeing religious figures. All human brains are wired for it, some are genetically more predisposed than others.

The real question is what are we to make of your pattern of repeatedly posting this kind of news story in the Religion Forum?

“What do you think?”

I see God every single day. I see Him in my children’s smiles, in a flower blooming and in a bird chirping. I see Him in the beauty of a rainbow and the rising of the moon. I see Him in a simple blade of grass and in the fierceness of storms. I DO NOT see images in toast, on a dirty window, or in a pancake. That’s what I think.

Drug testing seems warranted.
