CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

That's funny, I saw him in my rice krispies. Do you think it has something to do with the rice?

Honestly, I don't know what to think of apparitions and bleeding statues and things like that. Is it a sign? Is it a sign maybe people are reading too much into?
Odd that it tends to not have happened much in the anabaptist community...unless someone knows something I don't?

Out here it is almost exclusively a Catholic thing. One can only wonder if it's something in their religious training. The rest of us don't seem to be seeing visions & apparitions - but then we don't expect to either.

I just don't pay enough attention to what goes in my mouth to notice anything that resembles Jesus or Mary or Big Bird or anything else.

I always want to say, "So what" when I see things like this.
Jesus's face outlined in rust on the side of a silo? So what.
Mary's face on a toasted cheese sandwich? So what.
Jesus's face in the frost on the window of a funeral home? So what.
I think these things are all about people wanting so desperately to connect with Jesus that they see his face everywhere. Personally, I think they could look like any face or any woman, but others see Jesus and Mary because they want to.
It's interesting that I saw an article in Slovakia that was about some Muslims who saw Muhammed's face in a rock formation, and they were chastised by the leader of their community for looking at an image of the prophet, which is a sin to them.
