Holy Moth-er

I've written before about the Virgin Mary appearing in a stupid place, namely road rash.

Now, Jesus, bored with appearing on tortillas, tree trunks, bathroom doors, and water stains, has decided to send his holy image to the back of a nocturnal insect.

What makes this story unusual, really, is the reaction of a local preacher.
Brother James Jordan thinks the patterns do resemble Jesus better in person than in these blown-up pictures.

But he adds, that's all it is.

"I don't want to bow down to it. It's not Jesus, it's just an image on something God created."

It's refreshing to find a religious leader who can tell the difference between pareidolia and a miracle. Kudos to Brother Jordan.
