Can you see Jesus in this Cheeto? 'Cheesus'
Posted on 03/21/2008 9:53:30 AM PDT by Between the Lines
HOUSTON (KTRK) -- A local church youth leader wants you to see a cheese curl that reminds him of Jesus.
A couple of years ago, the youth director at Memorial Drive United Methodist Church in Houston was snacking in the church youth offices when he noticed an odd-shaped Cheeto. Upon further inspection, Steve Cragg determined he could see a familiar image of Jesus in the shape of the cheese curl.
One of the church youth named the item in question 'Cheesus.'
'Cheesus' has remained on a bookcase in Cragg's office since its discovery.
"I do not think that God makes Cheetos that look like Jesus or creates images of Himself on screen doors. I do know that God reveals Himself to us in a zillion different ways," Cragg said. "Seeing the image of Christ in a Cheeto means that I was able to imagine it. God's creation is full of signs and things that can and do remind us of Him."
Cragg was moved to share a photo of 'Cheesus' with others in anticipation and honor of Easter.

I gotta say that’s one cool Cheeto. I would’ve saved it myself.

The MSM mocking Jesus on Good Friday? Nah. No reason for outrage.
Boycott is sufficient.

Should I be outraged? I don't see why. After all, it's not like it's a Flaming Hot Cheeto.

Years ago I worked in an olf, family-owned grocery store. One weekend a tornado tore the roof off, damaging the interior. I was helping clean up, and upon moving some old shelves I found a package of twinkies with a date that was 10 years past.
They were still nice and soft, looked like fresh...

Sweet! I’d pay more for a Lt Dan Cheeto anyway. Something seems wrong about a Jesus Cheeto, but a Lt Dan Cheeto is A-ok in my book :-)

Cheesus sure had short legs and kind of a nasty complexion.

My wife saw Bill Clinton in a cloud once and pointed it out to me.
Son of a gun, it did look just like him.

Twinkies are radioactive...They have a half-life of about 10,000 years or so...
Kinda like Cesium or something...;-)

It is often strongly implied on this forum that only Catholics are prone to this kind of nonsense. For the record, the article points out that the "discoverer" of the "Cheesus" Cheeto is a Methodist. His story here is but a representative sample, doubtless, of a much more widespread infatuation with this sort of thing among non-Catholics. He is hardly alone in this regard.
And, yes, he does look more like Lt. Dan! ;-)

I like to think of Jesus like with giant eagles’ wings, and singin’ lead vocals for Lynyrd Skynyrd with like an angel band and I’m in the front row and I’m hammered drunk!
