It looks like the homeless man sticker I applied and removed is still confusing the minds of simple people:
Jim Stevens says he’s not particularly religious and is clueless about why an image resembling Jesus Christ keeps appearing on his pickup.
Stevens — of Jonesborough — says nearly every morning, an image that looks to him like the face of Jesus Christ has appeared in the condensation on the driver’s side window of his Isuzu truck.
A Johnson City Press photo of the truck showed a facial image.
Stevens said when he first saw the image, he figured it would evaporate and not return. But it kept reappearing for two weeks now.
Stevens said folks at the grocery store he goes to were amazed to see the image.
He says he isn’t going to wash the truck for a while.
I’ll give this guy credit though — at least he just says “I don’t know” and isn’t worshiping it. That’s some progress!
(I’m obviously kidding that I had anything to do with the sticker, but that’s my initial guess based on the detail of the image and when it appears.)
Update: It’s even simpler than I first said — who needs rain-x when you have sticker residue? So I removed the rain-x complication.

lol, its the glue left over from a window sticker. Its like writing on a window with eggwhite or wax. Water is repelled away, not a miracle
You’re just mad because Richard Dawkins’ face never appears on your Prius.
Ha!
I’m an atheist not an environmentalist, fuck the prius. Also richard dawkins he may be smart but standards, standards
“You’re just mad because Richard Dawkins’ face never appears on your Prius.”
hahahahaha
that would be a funny onion skit. you should pitch it to them
i say that it is a clue that jesus is watching and needs more attention…it is a warning to him and everyone…it could happen to anyone, he’s probly not the only one…
…you aren’t very bright, are you?
Do you think she’s perhaps a troll? I mean, too thoughtlessly fundie to be real?
I think she’s a lot of both.
Does jesus need attention?
Does jesus need a treat?
Is jesus a good little boy?
yes he is, yes he is!
Good little jesus.
have a treat little jesus
Does jesus feel good now?
Does he? Does he?
Oh, yes he does!
Ah crap, you’ve got him all excited now. Well, you can let him out for a pee, I’m not doing it.
Atheists would drive a prius.
What I never get is, how can people possibly think they actually know what Jesus or Mary actually looked like. They see a bearded, rather caucasian looking guy and say, that’s Jesus. They see a teenage girl smiling beneath a veil, again… very caucasian looking, and they think it’s Mary.
And even if Jesus and Mary were somehow white, which is laughable, but I’ll allow for the moment; STILL, for all they know, that is an image of Judas.
Blasphemer!!! Jesus was a WASP and you know it. He was a man’s man, a hunter and a patriot.
He was a White anglo-saxon protestant, and here I was thinking that he was a Jew
JC is defiantly caucasian! There’s a picture of him in my bible.
no, it doesnt say what race he is…..
And a bit of a sado-masochist, if you ask me.
My favorite comment was along the lines of “If English was good enough for Jesus, then it’s good enough for me.”
/facepalm
no thats a picture of jesus…wether hes, white, black, asian mexican, red, purple…ect. it don’t matter, that is him…its not that hard to figure out…
It’s clearly another of Satan’s tricks. Jesus would never appear on a four-cylinder Japanese pickup. Anyone who has read the Bible knows that Jesus appears only on American-made trucks with big V-8 engines.
Or maybe on the fuel tank of a Harley.
NO NO NO :)
Jesus preferred Plymouths. He drove the money lenders out of the temple in a ….drumroll……Fury.
The disciples preferred Hondas seeing as how they were all in one Accord.
By the way, I also understand that Mary was an utter bitch. Supposedly she rode Joseph’s ass all the way to Bethlehem.
In the words of Ministry:
Jesus Built my Hot-Rod
The Infant of Prague Customized My Van
Jesus appears on trucks and Allah writes on legs… You’ve been asking for it, now how can you deny the evidence people??
I wonder if you found stories of all of the “evidence” that people have seen/experienced that they interpret as their god/saint/whoever, if those people would acknowledge the evidence of other gods existance too, or dismiss it saying only their god’s evidence is real?
Zeus appeared on my English muffin this morning…but I ate him.
He was a white guy with a beard too.
At least that one does really look like a face and not a result of overactive imaginations. At least, it looks like the way people commonly draw Jesus’ face… and as pointed out, it would be pretty easy to produce this effect. This of course immediately makes me think about keeping a spray bottle of Rain-X and a Dawkins face stencil with me, or perhaps more appropriate, the Flying Spaghetti Monster?
Notice how the last sentence makes it sound like the guy is not washing the truck because of the image, but I suspect they just asked him if he had plans to wash his truck and he answered, “Not for a little while.”
If he did wash the truck and the image came back the next morning, that might be a miracle. Sounds like a good test.
But Jesus don’t like tests so it won’t appear again.
Hey, christians have been here for some centuries, they have had a lot of time to made up lame excuses
I’m appalled at you guys’ unwillingness to accept this miraculous communication from God. You ask for irrefutable evidence of his existence, and then you deny him even when he gives it. I’ll pray for you.
I’ll think for you.
I think that’s the proper response…
Was this serious or satire? It’s so hard to tell sometimes.
This happened in a border town in the Southwest with a guy’s white pickup. He bought the pickup used, and the previous owner had removed a Jesus sticker from the tailgate. First time he drove it down a dusty road, the glue picked up the image and people started worshiping his pickup. He was on the news. National news.
You can’t make this stuff up.
That’s what I figured, used truck, old sticker residue.
I’m surprised that yours wasn’t the first comment posted.
This could easily be done by applying some kind of invisible but water-repellent substance, e.g. car wax, on the window in that design. The condensation would repel away from wherever the wax (or whatever) has been painted.
i love the picture of the guy. he looks like he really does’t know what’s going on
“He says he isn’t going to wash the truck for a while.”
That’s funny too. He’s not considering it some message from heaven, more credit to him. But if people are going to be gullible doooops, then he might as well leave it on there and maybe catch a bit of fame and maybe a few bucks.
I’m quite sure this guy is just making a parody of the Christians. It’s all too obvious.
That had occurred to me also. It’s on the driver-side window, which is an odd place for a sticker to have been. I wonder if he’s punking the folks at his grocery store.
Will someone please find a picture of an angel or devil. I would prefer a devil but will take angel. I’m told that yes, they do actually exist (meaning they are either matter or energy and bound by our physical laws) and can travel at fast speeds. I’m also told their numbers are not infinite – they are exactly:
6,487,967,453 total angels in existence (all absolutely cannot fit on the head of a pin)
666,666,666 total devils in existence (they are black and no – they don’t have horns)
With these kind of numbers surely there is SOMETHING out there???
This post confuses me.
Your numbers are wrong. Do you really think there are 10 times more angels than devils?
But I have some more questions for an expert as you surely must be:
1.- What do they eat? Wich are their natural predators? Do devils eat angels?
2.- Sexual or asexual reproduction? Are they social? Are they monogamic or poligamic? Oviparous or viviparous?
3.- Phylogenetic classification?
Note: By the way yes, I know your post was satiric
i wonder why we don’t worship men when they grow a beard and start to look like the conventional image of jesus. why is it a miracle when a smudge in a jar of marmite looks like jesus, but not a miracle when a man naturally grows a beard and long hair?
I was struggling with my beliefs and then last Sunday a miraculous thing happened to me. I haven’t attended church in years because I like to stay home, “celebrate reason” and have a nice breakfast. Normally, I never have toast, but that Sunday I felt this overwhelming urge to add toast to my meal. As the bread was toasting I felt wrapped in the warmth of a great presence and when the toast popped up – there burnt into the bread was an image of Charles Darwin!
Needless to say, I will never question scientific fact again!
What a total bummer it would be if the butter on your toast blocked out the image of Darwin with an image of this Jesus guy everyone keeps talking about.
What gets me is how people think an image of a bearded guy could be Jesus. Nobody knows how he looked–or how Mary looked–or angels–or Satan–or…
I agree, no one knows what Jesus looked like. To me it looks like Charles Manson or the Zig Zag Man.
