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."

Unreasonable Faith

Farmer Discovers “Holy Egg”

It’s a miracle! Wow, you mean given enough time and eggs, you end up getting a soft one with an impression of a chicken foot? Hallelujah! Irrefutable proof of the existence of the Invisible Pink Unicorn! Then again, maybe it’s Jesus’ way of commanding us to say, “Merry Christmas” instead of “Happy Holidays.”

Argument from Tinkerbell

This might be the best argument for God yet! 108. ARGUMENT FROM TINKERBELL (1) I really want God to be real. (2) If you wish for something really hard, it’ll come true. (3) Therefore, God exists. (source)

Did the Internet Cause the New Atheists?

by VorJack Luke over at Common Sense Atheism writes about a work criticizing the “New Atheists” for their militancy and their anti-theism. The work was publish in 1986, 20 years before The God Delusion. It’s a reminder that atheists have been around for a while. While there have been waves of “new atheists” before, the [...]

D’Souza Says He Can Prove Live After Death

Dinesh D’Souza says he has proof of an afterlife: His proof is near death experiences. He says atheists are “very worried” about that evidence. Anyone here worried about that “evidence”? Anyone? Anyone? (via)

Islamophobia and Swiss Minarets

by Custador The Swiss, perhaps the only people on Earth to practise direct democracy, took a vote recently on whether to ban the building of minarets (the towers outside of mosques where Imams used to stand to call Muslims to prayer before the introduction of loud-speakers) in their country. A majority of them voted in favour of [...]

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.
