The first thing that's always bothered me with this stuff is what it seems to be a Catholic exclusive? And why, if I take a dump and it happens to fall in a shape that looks like JC or any one of the various Saints, every fanatic in the area that have a High School or less education and (typically) comes out of a 3rd world culture of influence (mostly Hispanic in my experience) wants to be a witness to that miracle?
I know that might sound offensive to some, but GIVE ME A BREAK! These people see "God" (that invisible, can't be defined, omnipresent IS) everywhere in one form or another and in some of the oddest places... toasts, bagels, water-stains on glass and brick, tree bark patterns, etc. But then they tend to see the devil (who is NEVER described in the bible) all over the place as well.
Now maybe I'm being short sighted and cruel, but I believe there is medication for folks that have this kind of hallucination
