Cheesus The Cheeto Jesus

Our Frito
Who art in Plano
Deep-fried be thy name

Thy waistline come
Thy will be done on dish
as it is on plate

Give us this day
Our Daily Chip
and forgive us our cholesterols

as we forgive those who can't eat just one
And lead us not to the cheaper store brand
but deliver us from Wise
[*cHoMp*]

A couple of years ago, the youth director at Memorial Drive United Methodist Church in Houston was snacking in the church youth offices when he noticed an odd-shaped Cheeto. Upon further inspection, Steve Cragg determined he could see a familiar image of Jesus in the shape of the cheese curl.

One of the church youth named the item in question 'Cheesus'
Someone should introduce Cragg to Obama's pastor. With "spiritual leaders" like these guys, no wonder we're going to hell in an easter basket!

This is simply stupid. There is no excuse on earth to venerate an object, especially a stinky old Cheese puff. This is why in the early parts of the Bible God warns us against idols. This is why graphic image portrayals of Muhammad are prohibited. This is totally laughable and the minister who found this needs a serious reality check. This might fly in an episode of StarGate or Star Trek where some dark ages society has come to worship some strange found object. Faith so fragile, they must find an object to assign it to. What a shame.

Seen on Michelle Malkin's blog: “When men stop believing in God they don’t believe in nothing; they believe in anything.” [LiNk]

Oh I get it... it's coming up Easter and the media has nothing better to do than to RESURRECT this old story. I seem to recall the minister dude (or maybe it was a different minister dude and a different bag of Cheetos) found the Jesus Cheeto a couple of years ago and it made the news for maybe a minute... saved in Pop Culture here:

THAT '70s SHOW - ON WITH THE SHOW - Original Airdate (FOX): 23/FEB/2005:

FEZ: She asked me to make a giant sign with her name on it, so I said: you got it baby! So then I went to get some ice cream and then I went to play some Space Invaders and um, and then I came here to watch the show.
KITTY: I could never be on tv, unless it was Johnny Carson. Because I have a very funny story about a cheeto that looked just like Jesus...
HYDE: So, Fez... you've been hanging out a lot lately with Jackie. Any idea what she wanted to talk to me about at the record store the other day?

    your strong feelings on the cheeto shaped like lieutenant dan or jesus certainly seem overly strong. why assume that the pastor needs to get serious, why take a attack position, why not think well first. If we are all going to hell in an easter basket (a very non-serious comment) then let's try to give each other the benefit of the doubt. Have fun blogging.

    I happen to go to the church this youth minister works at and he is one of the coolest laid back guys around. few of had as much of an impact on the community as him. if you watch the video, its obviously a tounge in cheek story and nobody at the church takes the cheezus seriously, its simply a funny coincidence. I dont know why i even commented on your post, nobody cares what you think anyway.
