His floury image just appeared on a tortilla in New Mexico, clearly showing a beard and moustache.
David Sandoval said he discovered an image of Jesus on a tortilla his mother baked for Ash Wednesday.
He couldn’t bring himself to eat the tortilla, so he posted a picture of it on Facebook.
“Everybody has been able to see it. They’re calling it a miracle,” Sandoval told local station KOAT-TV.
“New Mexico has always been known to have interesting things happen during Lent time.”
Given that every image of Jesus that has ever appeared, from chairs to tortillas to tree trunks, shows him as unambiguously male, I think we can take that as dispositive that he was male, and therefore not a hermaphrodite.
looks like a baby parasaurolophus to me…

Looks like Jim Morrison to me.
I thought it was Che Guevara!
Charles Manson.
One of the goons from the old Popeye cartoons.
You’re all wrong. It’s Le Zoave.
“Le Zouave”. *ahem*
Santorum!
After last Tuesday…
Zappa!
Adrien Brody. It’s a commercial for the new Gillette razor.
Carlos Santana
I would have guessed PZ Myers. Is there any rule that says you have to be dead before you start showing up on tortillas?
I second Morrison…
young Pete Townshend
George Harrison.
The Zig Zag man of rolling papers. A tough smoke.
Yep. I kept trying to tell folks that above.
“Le Zouave” (see above comment). But would anybody listen? No. Too busy giving their pesky wrong opinions to listen to their betters.
This doesnt make me a believer, but it does make me hungry.
How do we know thats Jesus and not Mary?
The BEARD, you dope!! L
You’re right, if Mary had a beard, it was a wonderful Baron Davis/James Harden beard. The beard on the tortilla is unworthy.
Don’t forget this appearance:

I don’t suppose we’ll see that one on ebay any time soon! 😉
Cheers,
Norm.
Ha! Clearly that is an upside-down image of ceiling cat.
Finally the evidence that I was waiting for: served on a plate!
Is this the childish belief that the Rabbi was talking about in your post yesterday.

Looks like Sahelanthropus tchadensis to me!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahelanthropus_tchadensis
…though it has a sagittal ridge.
Perhaps boisei?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paranthropus_boisei
Well, if we are going to compare it to a hominin then I would say it looks more like Paranthropus aethiopicus
bingo!
Why not a bearded hermaphrodite? Circuses even used to have bearded ladies.
Beat me to it.
Maybe it was a false beard, so she could go to stonings.
Sorry, that looks more like the guy that used to be on the package of Brawny towels.
I see a Pacman ghost.
+1! Clearly none of these heathens spent enough time in grimy video game arcades in the ’80s.
That’s the Holy Ghost, silly. Clearly, you’re interpreting Pacman too literally. It’s a metaphor! For…something or other…
Ask Mary Magdalene; I’m sure she will confirm Jesus was male.
Well, at least that answers some of those questions about his genetic heritage.
Clearly, Jesus was seriously in bread….
b&
There are many examples of the in-bread cat meme. Ceiling Cat is a bone fide deity.
Now we have an image of an in-bread Jesus, who is a considered a deity by billions.
Ergo, inbreeding is next to godliness, and gods differ from humans simply by having higher levels of homozygosity!
It’s not Jesus, it’s Hey Zeus. Just don’t eat the fish tacos in Albuquerque.
Don’t eat fish tacos anywhere. L
Never pass up a fish taco, unless you can get a lobster taco.
looks like HR from Bad Brains, to me (sorry if this is a double post).

Wait a second, what about all those images of the Virgin Mary that appear on various assorted foodstuff/walls/dogs-rear-ends etc.
They are rarely labelled as “Mary”.
Perhaps these are really showing Jesus and we are just mistaking them for his Mom!
lolz. well i discovered a photo of JC holding a raptor in google. does that count?
My mother, who was brought up in the depths of Louisiana and died recently at age 93, always asked about the whole god is a man thing. She wondered what he did with the male part, why he had it, did he go to the bathroom with it, was there a Mrs God so he needed it.
She would have fed the taco to her dog.
That’s a great story and a wonderful memory. Sorry for your loss.
come on! It’s clearly Cat Stevens
I thought it was a melanoma. If you have a mole like that, see your doctor.
That’s totally a Phantom of the Opera mask.
Verily I sayeth unto you- “Bite me”.
So it’s not “Jesus was male,” it’s Jesus is TASTY?
I wouldn’t exactly use the term “tasty” when describing the “host”. Of course, I was a protestant who was only eating a chaste (and very bland) representation of Jesus’s body. My next door neighbor who was catholic actually got to eat flesh. I thought her religion was way cooler than mine.
He didn’t eat it? I thought that was the point: the body of Christ, etc.
It looks like one of the blue ghosts in Pac Man…
I thought it was Kris Kristofferson. Gives a whole new meaning to his song “Why me Lord”.
What with the ridiculous amount of money offered for these holy food sightings, I’ve just got to start looking more closely at what I’m eating!
Virgin Mary Grilled Cheese Sandwich = 28K bucks. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/4034787.stm
But the George Washinton KFC nugget got near $5,000 as I recall.
I actually thought it looked a little more like Adam Sandler in ‘Meet the Zohan’.

Turn it upside down; looks like Cellar Dog to me.
You know what would get my attention? If one of these images appeared that looked like a guy from the part of the world where Jesus was allegedly from, that’s what.
Missouri redneck wiv a mullet? Cor Blimey!
Turn it upside-down and Jesus is a German Shepherd!
BY GOD, YOU’RE RIGHT!
Excellent! Rightside up, a Jewish rabbi; upside down, a German shepherd. If this toast had come up in the 1930’s, probably Hitler wouldn’t have had a leg to stand on.
That’s the meaning of Luke 2:8-9. Those were German Shepherds watching their flocks by night.
Mexican dude is holding his bread upside down. What a fail!
That’s almost certainly His Awesome Freeness Richard Stallman.
The man him self St IGNUcius of the Church of Emacs:
You know, Emacs would be a much better operating system if only it had a decent editor….

Careful! I thought the only Holy Wars allowed on this website were ones involving God. (And in this context, God != Linus Torvalds or RMS… )
Chimichanga hirsuitism.
Jerry Garcia?
I still think the best is the dog-butt Jesus.
If somebody showed me that tortilla before I knew that people went around claiming it be a face of Jesus, I would never derive Jesus out of those abstract burn marks.
It looks like a melanoma to me.
Which raises the question
“if my melanoma looks like jesus is it sacreligious to have it removed?
Yes, you should be willing to die to save Jesus.
Trey Anastasio!!
I see erotic asphyxiation.
What?
Creationists’ missing link?
Looks more like a Pacman ghost…

It looks more like bin Laden to me! Perhaps those Muslim fundies are right after all.
I think that Freewheeling Franklin Freakowtski had the best experimental protocol for determining someone’s maleness. Unfortunately, since the comics are still in copyright … the panels are not online. But for those who know the strip, it’s the “one-liner I wish I’d thought of at the time” in response to a redneck comment that “with that long hair, I can’t tell if it’s a boy or a girl”.
Who tf bakes a tortilla! The masa or dough is placed on a hot, dry, comal. There is no oven involved. Pinche guey!
