Image of Jesus on Walmart Receipt?
By Robert Paul Reyes
"A South Carolina couple said a dark gray mark that appeared on a Walmart receipt appears to bear the image of Jesus Christ."
The image on the Walmart receipt is a Rorschach test; folks see what they want to see. I see a dead-ringer for Charles Manson; the young Christian couple swears it's a visage of Jesus Christ, and I wouldn't be surprised if a Muslim sees a holy warrior pointing a machine gun at an infidel dog.
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, and a smudgy Walmart receipt is always just a Walmart receipt. I don't doubt that Jacob and Gentry Lee love Jesus as much as Elvis and their family dog, but I wonder how long it will be before we see the Walmart Jesus on eBay?
The real Jesus would render onto Walmart what belongs to Walmart, but he would never allow his visage to appear on a receipt issued by the most evil corporation in the world.
