Just plain silly, IMHO

[Jinkies]

This is one of those "what can one possibly say?" style stories. I certainly wouldn't have had the courage to name the post as you did.

At least they aren't taking it seriously. Imagine if it had ended up in a catholic's cheetos bag!

I sincerely doubt one would hear the introductory chants in a Methodist church.

Way to go there, using your tv interview opportutnity to share the real Jesus and the Word, where he can be found for real. Sad and lacking.

[Jenn]

Argh... it makes me soooo mad when everyone is claiming to see Jesus in trees, bread, wood... Cheetos. No one knows what Jesus looks like. People are basing these 'visuals' on paintings. There was nothing about Jesus that would have made Him appealing, so these paintings do not accurately depict Him... and so you base these 'visuals' on paintings by people who weren't even THERE to see Him ? That's as bad as the Da Vinci Code: basing a theory on a painting. :( Idolatry is ruining people!

[Christy]

I'm surprised we didn't see it on e-bay.

[Paul Latour]

No, no, no! Not "Cheetos"...."Cheatos"!!

Get it off the shrine, out of the box and give it to ME!
I wouldn't mind a bit of a snack right about now.

[Junior]

What about Son chips??

[Logan Paschke]

This is so degrading to youth pastors everywhere, I really am speechless. Sign of the times.

[CS]

Notice the way he started the interview? "I think they're searching for something; they're looking for something."

Ah, yes. A seeker-sensitive, Cheetoh-loving denomination. First United Church of The Snack Chips. I think I've heard of them, right behind "Willow Creek Ranch" in the grocery store.

I think one quote can sum the whole thing up: "I don't think the heavenly choir actually started singing at that moment, but in my mind they did." All that matters to today's Christianity is if it's real to me.

Also, "If you're looking for God in different places, you can find God in different places." You'll find a god, all right, but probably not the One you're supposed to.

I'm not doing a good job at summing it up in one quote, but I felt obligated to point out that the woman at the end identified the Cheeto as "Nino Jesus," plus a ~ and a '. Looks like we may have another confirmed member of the Ricky Bobby church.

"Today's sermon comes from my snack bag of cheetos. I may not know the precise time of Jesus' return, but I know that THIS looks like Jesus. Amen, and please rise for the Benediction." Ah, the church in 21st century America. I especially appreciate the profound comment that "people can find God anywhere." Man, that blessed the socks of me. Thank you pastor, now pass those Testamints and Sonchips my way, it's time for my quite time.

[Jason]

1) We don't even know what Jesus looked like.
2) We are not called to look for Jesus outside of the bible.
3) If one needs a Cheeto's sign to feel closer to God, their in bigger trouble then they realize.
4) Next time eat the Cheeto. Read you bible.

[Ray Bromley]

How do these people who say the Cheeto "looks like Jesus" know what Jesus looked like? It looks like some guy with a beard... maybe. How do we know it doesn't look like Moses or Paul or Peter or Elijah the Tishbite or Kish, the son of Abiel?

Why don't these vaguely-anthropographic foods get labeled as "looking like Ulysses S. Grant," or "looking like Willie Nelson?"

[Jackie]

It could just as easily be said to look like Charles Manson.

Reminds me of the gourd worshippers in "Life of Brian".

[Ralph M. Petersen]

I'd eat it!

[Jinkies]

Come to think of it... It looks like Mohammed! Um, never mind.

[The Evolved Rationalist]

Jeebus Cheesus!

[Ruth]

I had a bag of Ceetos yesterday and found one that looked like one of the Wise Men.

[Cody]

I think it's funny how he said "he doesn't think God makes cheetos to look like Jesus" but that he went ahead and basically put it in his "Jesus shrine" and he doesn't mind getting "fame" from it. The next bag of cheetos I get, I'm going to eat them really fast because I'm afraid I pull out the satan cheeto...

[Skylar]

omgosh! I laughed to be honest...doesn't make it any less dumb.

[hungry for cheetos]

I don't care if it rains or freezes,
Long as I got my crunchy Cheesus!

Wow, is there anything those guys at FritoLay can't do??? So, now I'm looking for one myself, but so far I only found one that looks like Judas Iscariot holding a small bag of silver coins. Then my 3-year-old son ate it. Looks like my boy might be smarter than this dude. God help him, but it seems like he's pretty far from being able to hear the voice of the Shepherd.

[James]

Wow! thats so cool it looks like jesus! i would like to see the photo of jesus they are comparing it with, just to see if i can find any resemblance myself ;-)
