Image of Jesus on Doggie door - saves dogs from being given away...

[The Straight Story]

A couple in Yucaipa, Calif., who planned to get rid of their destructive pets suddenly changed their minds when an apparent image of Jesus appeared in their home's doggie door, according to a Local 6 News report. Dog owner Roger Bowman and his family were fed up with their two dogs, Max and Hercules, for tearing their home apart. They had decided to get rid of the dogs when Bowman noticed the image, the report said. "It was a definite double-take," Bowman said. "I was actually walking down the hallway and I happened to look over because I heard them go through the dog door and I was wondering if they were coming in or out. I look over and it was if he was staring right back at me." The family said they decided to keep the dogs after seeing the image. "It is a symbol of Jesus on the dog door so that must be a sign that we get to keep the dogs," owner Debbie Vasquez said. "The coincidence of the natural wear pattern on the dog door to create just the perfect symmetry of this image," Bowman said. "I mean what are the chances of that. I just can't help but take it as a divine reprieve for the dogs. I can't go against that image."

6. Not Sure If This Is A Good Thing Or Not.

On the one hand, I want to be thankful that it spared the dogs from being given away.

On the other hand, I wonder if remaining with a family who doesn't care about them enough or are responsible enough to train them properly and cop-out by wanting to give them away is the best thing for them to begin with.

[Maraya1969]

51. Hopefully an image of Jesus will appear on the telephone book near

"obedience school" for the dogs. It's always the owners who are the problem. If they take proper action they can have very well behaved dogs.

[Midlodemocrat]

62. I was just thinking the same thing.

They obviously don't care about the dogs or they wouldn't have considered giving them away like that.

Obviously, they are people of faith, so why don't they believe that the dogs are creatures of God like they are?

[roody]

8. Smart dogs!!

[4nic8em]

9. That's not

an image of Jesus...that's Charles Manson!! It has to be a miracle, or divine intervention, no other explanation remotely possible. (what a bunch of shit)

[IntravenousDemilo]

11. That ain't Jesus, according to the photos I've seen of the Prince of Peace. n/m

[TahitiNut]

20. Looks like Charles Manson or Usama bin Laden.

Funny how they don't seem to make that connection.

[CatWoman]

27. you're right

I have personal knowledge that Jesus was hanging out with Hitler that day

[Blue-Jay]

21. I saw an image of Jesus on my toilet lid.

After I thought about it for a minute, I decided that Jesus wouldn't want me to shit my pants, so I took a crap anyhow.

[undeterred]

49. Maybe Jesus did not want you to flush

until you had read a divine message in the bowl. :shrug:

[CatWoman]

22. damn!!!! looks like I have to keep Fluffy, as all I saw on my door was Moses

[CrazyOrangeCat]

23. holy moley--BIG bunny!!

[Vanje]

[Rosemary2205]

25. Jesus is into BDSM?

[C_U_L8R]

26. jesus is a smurf !!

[CrazyOrangeCat]

29. aye . . .

. . . very, very angry.

[Aristus]

28. Jesus? It looks like Sweetums, the giant Muppet!

[BlueStorm]

31. So.. my mom has Jesus on her bedroom window.

I asked her if she was going to let the news know about and she said "No, I'm not going to have all those religous nuts go through my bedroom, I wouldn't be able to sleep!!: :rofl:

Other than that it looks like Jesus with a ballgag and a laser eye. Apparently Jesus is a sex cyborg.

Blue

[CrazyOrangeCat]

32. a diety with a ball gag.

ah well, least he's got a sense of humor. maybe the fundies'll pick up on that . . .

[warrior1]

33. That's dog snot

I get that too. It's a built up of the dogs wet noses and various other parts hitting the flap day after day.

[BoneDaddy]

34. Cause God knows

that with Iraq and the middle east going to hell, climate changes bringing a very bleak and incredible changing future, poverty, disease and so much more, Jesus decided he wanted to make his appearance on a dog door.

No wonder this country is falling apart

[porphyrian]

35. If they're serious, they need to lay off the hallucinogens.

I've seen a more convincing image of Jesus in a used diaper.

[hedgehog]

36. Enquiring minds want to know.

Are Max and Hercules pit bulls or rottweilers?

[riona]

37. Bogus.

Everyone knows that Jesus only appears on inanimate objects in Florida.

[stevedeshazer]

44. True, and here's proof

[tblue37]

38. There is a whole website devoted to the dog whose hind end

manifests an image of Jesus.

Here is a pic:


Here is the website devoted to Angus and his miraculous fanny:

55. That's the one I was looking for

My sister-in-law sent me that link last week and I'm still giggling about it.

:spray:

[many a good man]

39. He shows himself in the stragest places

Seems to be a doggy trend here...

[Pharaoh]

40. Anyone can see

That this is a picture of Alice Cooper!

Geez what some people won't do to get attention!

I feel for the poor dogs....................

[MindPilot]

41. MP's household tip: Some 409 will take that right off.

I tend to keep my house clean so I will probably never find the Lord.

[Joanie Baloney]

42. Good thinking, MP!!

Cleanliness is next to godliness...or is that dogliness???


Hee, hee!! :rofl:

[MindPilot]

43. Paging Cesar Milan, paging Cesar Millan...n/t

[roody]

48. Yes! These dogs not only need a bath,

THEY NEED A WALK!!!

[progressoid]

45. pareidolia

Holy images have been perceived in bricks, wooden logs, the gritty underpass of a Chicago expressway, a Tennessee coffee shop called Bongo Java and, last month, a tiny gold nugget found in the Arizona desert. In 1977, a woman making burritos in Lake Arthur, N.M., saw the face of Jesus in the pattern of skillet burns on a tortilla. She built a shrine to house the Jesus tortilla, which was blessed by a priest, and thousands of people from across the country came to gaze and pray for its divine assistance in healing their ailments.

Christians aren't the only ones to find the holy in the ordinary: Followers of Islam have said they've seen the Arabic script for "Allah" or "Muhammad" on fish scales, chicken eggs, lambs and beans.

From a scientific perspective, the phenomenon is so common that it has been given a name: pareidolia, the perception of patterns where none are intended. And according to Stewart Guthrie, one of a handful of professors who have studied it, such perceptions are part of the way human beings are "hard-wired."

"It's really part of our basic perceptual and cognitive situation," said Guthrie, a cultural anthropologist, retired Fordham University professor and author of the book "Faces in the Clouds: A New Theory of Religion."

"It has to do with all kinds of misapprehensions that there is something human-like in one's environment, when really there's not."

46. This is a case for Cesar Millan, who knows that most problems are

due to the psychological states of the owners!!!!

[Mabus]

56. My dogs watch the show with me

They get excited whenever they hear Cesar's voice. The German Shepherd runs up to the TV and tries to smell the dogs. And, paraphrasing Cesar, you have to be a good pack leader or the dogs will assume the leadership role.

[Gloria]

47. Actually, it looks like Fonzie peering over a wrench to me...

[Kurovski]

58. I thought it was a female duck with a watch in her beak.

But I can see yours too.

No Jesus, though.:shrug:

[Olney Blue]

50. Doggie Door Jesus for President

[npincus]

52. it looks like the "Predator" alien

from the (Ahnold) movie.

[Maraya1969]

53. brb gotta go check the dog door...

[Maraya1969]

54. Nope. Just random dirt. Could be the Milky Way through a polluted sky though.

[Sweet Freedom]

57. I thought it looked more like Steven Tyler /nt

[gtar100]

59. God's incomprehensible sense of priorities

If this were really true, then I can only assume God thinks some dogs are worth saving while others aren't worth the effort. Same for people. Hmmm.

[Obamarama]

60. Let me guess....these people are Hispanic Catholics, right?

I'm not trying being politically incorrect, but for the life of me one has to wonder why these things never show up on trees/grilled cheese sandwiches/windows/doggie doors for people named Gunderson living in Minnesota who are Lutherans!?!

What is it about the religious psyche of what are probably very pious, devoted Hispanic Catholics that leads them to see Christ in such odd, ridiculous places?

[LeftyMom]

61. Maybe he just feels more welcome.

When's the last time you met a little Lutheran kid named Jesus? ;)

[Obamarama]

63. ROFLMAO....

Good one, LeftyMom! :-)

[jobycom]

64. Looks like Chuck Norris, but I guess a guilty conscience can create anything.

[HuffleClaw]

65. those people have some imagination if they think THAT is jesus

wow

[tblue37]

66. By the way, did you ever notice that when Jesus and Mary

manifest on grilled cheese sandwiches and in oil stains on a wall (or on dog butts, as revealed in my earlier post), they always appear as Whitebread Jesus and Mary in her dry-cleaned, neatly pressed robes. You never see Jesus manifesting as a swarthy Semite (which he was, of course), or Mary manifesting in garments that in any way resemble what she probably wore.

A real manifestation of Jesus would probably look more like an Iraqi or a Saudi than like a bearded blond, blue-eyed preppie in need of a haircut.

[Obamarama]

67. Ah, yes...that Jesus of Stockholm look.

The Middle Eastern Jew with light brown hair, fair skin, blue eyes.

[tbyg52]

68. OK, let me get this straight....

These idiots apparently didn't think of investing in obedience training, or some other solution for the problem, but did an about face because Jesus told them to. And we wonder why we're in the mess we're in......
