"You also have to look at it through your spiritual eyes and be able to recognize that it is Jesus himself on that wall," said Bogan.
I guess my spiritual eyes need glasses too, because I don't see it.
I can hurt a demon!! That's right. I'm back. And I'm a BLOODY ANIMAL!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
That image looks more like Bullwinkle squinting and lowering his horns than Jesus Christ to me.
"Watch me raise this man from the dead!"
"Again? That trick never works!"

They need a higher-res picture in that article.
Why would you need to be in front of the drywall to get healed? Shouldn't it work anywhere? Weird. As a disclaimer, I don't think that stuff is representative of religious folks in general.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
a section of buckled drywall that people are saying is the spitting image of Jeezy Creezy
Buh-wha? I'm an avid believer in the guy, and I've seen better portraiture on a cheese sandwich. I'm mentally filing these people in the same place as that subliminal advertising guy who swore that every Ritz cracker on the planet had the word SEX written all over it.
Though I expect it's better that they keep themselves busy staring at imaginary pictures of the Big Guy in a couple of cracks in a waterlogged wall than, say, lobbying to ban contraceptives or the teaching of evolution. At least this is eye-rolly but harmless.

I find it weird, but really, it's not any weirder than a guy painting himself blue and going shirtless at a football game in the winter, or people dressing up as Klingons and marching in a town parade (happened in my Missouri suburb town). I find those things weird too.

Neither do I. And my low opinion of the people who would go pray to the buckled drywall does not stem from their beliefs, but from their praying to buckled drywall.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
And my low opinion of the people who would go pray to the buckled drywall does not stem from their beliefs, but from their praying to buckled drywall.
And that is why you shall always be shunned by followers of the First Church of the Buckled Drywall.

I never see anything looking at stuff like that...I'd hate to be looking for a miracle and having it be like a Magic 8-ball picture. "Oh, I've got it. No...Aw, crap. Sorry, Lord." No, Nutty...I may be kind of a Dark Lady but I never rode Old Sparky.

I do have trouble reconciling that with their supposed renunciation of praying to idols/graven images. Even images "graven" via storm water.
