Faithful see vision of Virgin Mary on school pizza pan
Hundreds of faithful flock to witness the vision
By Tom Abrahams
(2/23/07 - KTRK/HOUSTON) - Many Houstonians say they see something on a pizza pan that's nothing short of a miracle. And now, hundreds are flocking to an east Houston house on Leslie at Hahlo to get a peek.
Apparently, they're serving something special at the cafeteria of Pugh Elementary. On Ash Wednesday, HISD employee Guadalupe Rodriguez was washing and scrubbing a sheet pan when she noticed something.
"On the third rinse I started watching it, trying to discover what it was," she recalled.
So moved by the discovery, Rodriguez took the pan to her manager, who saw the vision too.
HISD employee Coralia Pacay said, "I know it's something good for this community, and especially for this school."
What the women saw was an image that is unmistakable to them. It drew so much attention the pan was moved to a nearby home, where it has become the center of a shrine.
"I see an image of the Blessed Mother," said worshipper Vincent Santiago. "That's what I see."
Santiago came to the home to pray on the first Friday of Lent.
He said, "This is a sign that something in the world is going to happen. We don't know, but we have to keep our faith very, very strong on her."
A pilgrim from down the street, like so many whose faith is strengthened by what they know they see. And for the hard-working woman who found it? She feels blessed to be the messenger.
"It's all about faith," said Rodriguez.
More than 200 of the faithful attended the shrine on Thursday, and dozens more arrived on Friday. A service was planned for Friday evening.(Copyright © 2007, KTRK-TV)

WHA???? Another one??
I think Hispanic catholics are gods chosen people, not jews.
They are always seeing Mary everywhere...in their food, cooking tools, trees, walls, the water, smoke...ugh, what else....their clothes, dreams, the side of the road.....counter tops....
Im going to bed. G'night
We must favor verifiable evidence over private feeling. Otherwise we leave ourselves vulnerable to those who would obscure the truth.

Yeah, Hispanics...
And their Clum Babies
My god (no pun intended) these people are idiots.
"Physical reality” isn’t some arbitrary demarcation. It is defined in terms of what we can systematically investigate, directly or not, by means of our senses. It is preposterous to assert that the process of systematic scientific reasoning arbitrarily excludes “non-physical explanations” because the very notion of “non-physical explanation” is contradictory.

Books about atheism
This shit again...
I'd like to put up a hunk of dogshit or something that vaguely resembles a face and say it looks like Jesus or Mary and see what I can get for it from morons on ebay.

It would be interesting to note exactly how many irrelevant objects have been percieved as religious artifacts over the last few millenia. I wonder how high the number would be.

For all those playing the image of the virgin Mary drinking game, take a shot now.
But it looks more like an upside down mushroom to me.
Yeah.
Mushrooms are sometimes on spaghetti, that means... FSM!
I thought so!
So Jesus is the son of god and the FSM.
And the Holy Spirit is God's "Life partner."
ha.
The FSM is a female?

I doubt it, FSM has meatballs.
Lmao! That answers my question.

No wonder god hates gays...he can't come to terms with his own sexual Preferance.
If the Chrstians are right, we are SO going to hell!
Ohh! I'm so scared.
I wanted to put a laughing smilie, but I can't access the smilies for some reason and you can't type them anymore.

Yeah, I want the smilies back.
At the very least who ever is keeping that pan is going to have to pay for it. Otherwise they should be charged with stealing school property. Its not like the school system is loaded with money especially HISD...
reminds me of the time that the virgin mary "appeared" on the side of a glass office building where i live. there was much flocking to the area, so people could sit in the parking lot and stare at this ameboid discoloration in the window. fun times. the building was eventually sold. i guess they got tired of people sitting around in their parking lot. (image here: http://www.tampabayskeptics.org/mary.jpg)
then one day some kid took a rock in the middle of the night and smashed the stupid thing. they replaced the glass that he broke (from the "head" area). and funny enough, the image never came back. so now she's decapitated. not so many people come and stare at it now. i guess a headless mary isn't so impressive.

"there's a sucker born every minute." i say go for it. if people can make hundreds of dollars selling the cardboard box the x-box console comes in, you should be able to make enough to retire.

This reminds me of the old lady who saw the virgin Mary in a grilled cheese sandwich. She sold it on EBay for $10,000.

Of course they all look like the white Jesus.
I'd sort of feel guilty, but fuck.. If someone is that stupid and I can get thousands of dollars for it, fuck them!

Since the Catholics seem to find Mary in so many places, I think we all need to start looking for John Lennon in all sorts of places, too.

If something like this ever happened near where I lived I would print out the wiki article on pareidolia and paste it all over the place.

Some people are willing to say the darnest things for their 15 minutes of publicity.
Maybe I should declare the image of Holy Trinity in my boxer shorts. I could then sell them on eBay, make a religion around my underpants and become a boxer pope. You know, I can make the Holy Spirit to speak *makes a hand puppet*
That would be the churches stance on birth control for yeah, priests need plenty of young suckers...

I'll get back to you when I think of something worthwhile to say.
What a better way to give a sign of true existence and convert unbelievers.... make a vague, easily mistakeable image on the bottom of a pizza pan. This will surely show those atheists, who didn't believe the grilled cheese incident or the highway underpass or the stain on the door or.....
Jesus' image found on a dog's ass (seriously):

Susan, let me read out part of the post, and a few comments that are outright funny:
The blog came with the following picture (obviously digitally "improved":

I'll also quote some of the comments:
So there you have it.

I like how they assume it's photoshopped by an atheist, instead of some other theist. Or instead of just admiting it's a case of them seeing what they want to see (Or this time, seeing what they are told to see).
Actually, that was the point for which I pasted the comments as well. the comments are funnier than the original post.
