Holy Cat Shit, Batman... only in Indiana...

Family Claims to See Jesus in Cat Fur

You could call her a holy cat or a feline with Jesus on her side... An Indiana family says if you look closely at their pet, you can see the face of Christ.

"In this window well down here was 4 baby kittens... stuck together."

Lori Johnson couldn't help but take in two kittens, she found abandoned outside her house on mother's day.


"Oh no, i couldn't imagine giving them away now. I've worked too hard. They are a part of me now. I love being a mom."

The two kittens, brother and sister, now named sissy and bubby -- could also be called opposites... the female has striped fur. The male is all black.

"Maybe one's an angel.. and the other one' is not. Yeah, we have the good and evil." Recently, lori's husband was petting sissy when he noticed...

"He says 'i swear that looks like jesus with a shroud on' and i'm like 'ok,' and then my son took that picture, and it was like 'wow!'"

"After looking at the picture and stuff, it was like 'oh, there it is.'"

"See the eyes beard. here's the shroud."

After a closer look, you might see the "shroud of turin." And even if you don't... "then they might think we are weird crazy or something."

Something this family is fine with. To them, sissy's fur is a sign from above of joy and blessings to come.

"We've had a lot of things happen in our lives. This was a good sign that uh..
everything's ok and got somebody looking after us."

Paean to Science Communicators

by Jesse Galef As you have probably realized by now, I have a deep appreciation for the majesty of the universe and great admiration for those who can express and communicate it well.  I grew up watching Bill Nye instead of Carl Sagan, but they can both make me smile and inspire a sense of wonder.  [...]

Ted Haggard Returns

by Jesse Galef How does a man recover from publicly first condemning homosexuality in front of thousands and then being caught in a meth-crazed sexual affair with another man? I don’t know either, but if you have ideas I’m sure Ted Haggard would love to hear them. Poor guy. He’s back at home “healing rapidly” and [...]

Depressingly Accurate Satire in The Onion

by Jesse Galef Satire, constitutional law, and religion… is it my birthday already? (For the record: no, that’s in April. Send gifts.) This recent Onion article is perfect: Area Man Passionate Defender of What He Imagines Constitution to Be ESCONDIDO, CA—Spurred by an administration he believes to be guilty of numerous transgressions, self-described American [...]

Yet More Vandalism

by Jesse Galef Just in case you wanted another opportunity to discuss the vandalism of atheist ads, there’s another incident in Boston: It… kind of makes sense? Not completely sure what they were going for. My friend Hemant over at FriendlyAtheist pointed out a hilarious coincidence that the vandals could have exploited: If they put a single [...]

Rep Woolsey Stands up for Secular Government

by Jesse Galef It was a good week for separation of church and state. The “I Believe” license plate was ruled unconstitutional, the DC Council might have the courage to stand up to the Archdiocese threats, and here’s one from earlier in the week I missed – Representative Lynn Woolsey, co-chair of the Congressional Progressive [...]

Yep! This is my kind of group. I was raised Catholic. Jumped from Grace at about the age 21. Surfed around the Unitarian-Universalists for quite a while and finally came to the conclusion that I'm a Secular Humanist about 5 years ago.
