Our city’s newspaper, the Democrat and Chronicle, is reporting that many people here in Rochester, NY are seeing the face of Jesus in this maple tree.  “He looks like he’s sleeping,” one woman said. 
Another woman explains, “There is a lot of crime here. People should have faith in God. This is God giving us a sign.”
“We can’t physically see Jesus, so we only have signs,” a third woman said.
“The only way we can know he’s here is through signs. He’s everywhere.
You just have to have faith.”
Another guy thinks they’re all wrong: “I don’t think it’s a message because God is everywhere.”

As for some professional religious commentary on the matter, the spokesperson for Rochester’s RC Diocese said he “wouldn’t dare to comment on someone else’s moment of inspiration or
religious experience. Religious experience is and always has been a
mystery and very personal.”

This is shocking, appalling, or hilarious.  I’m not sure which.  Maybe all three.
