Apparently the son of God can be found in the extra wide aisles of Walmart. At least that may be the assumption for Jacob Simmons of Anderson County, South Carolina. Yes! South Carolina. Where else is Jesus likely to appear on a Wal-Mart receipt than some fundamentalist part of the Bible Belt?
ANDERSON COUNTY, S.C. — An image of Jesus has shown up in another unlikely place, at least in the eyes of an engaged couple from Anderson County, S.C. According to WYFF-TV in Greenville, S.C., Jacob Simmons and his fiancée, Gentry Lee Sutherland, say they bought some pictures at Walmart on Sunday, June 12. Three days later, the receipt was on the floor of Sutherland’s apartment when Simmons says he saw that it had changed.
The couple says it’s an image of Jesus in their Walmart receipt. They called the store to ask them how the receipt paper could’ve become discolored like that, and someone told them the only thing that could do that is heat. The couple says nothing was done to make the image appear on the receipt. “We just feel like it’s a blessing that God showed it to us and opened our eyes. And we just feel like we should share the blessing God gave to us to everybody else,” Sutherland told WYFF-TV. SOURCE
That makes sense. Why else would Jesus’ image appear on a Wal-Mart receipt? How better to be “blessed” than to have the Messiah convey a sense that we need to shop at a huge multi-national corporation where most of their products are made by foreign labor.
Could this be a sign that we are all the children of God and that by making his presence known to a young impressionable christian couple, Jesus wants us to to view the world as one big happy minimum-wage family with no benefits and where women are treated as second class citizens.
Attention Wal-Mart shoppers! Salvation can be found on aisle 7.
Rasputin, yes Deb may be right but I’m seeing Charlie Manson, and I think had he not been such a sick bastard, might have liked to shop at Walmart. Could it be just dirt or is that too boring for the world to comprehend?
And it could also be an image from a picture of Marty Feldman with whiskers that they guy had inside his wallet where his Walmart receipt was.
That’s not Jesus. That’s Abe Lincoln.
But yeah, thank you Jesus for taking the time to fashion your likeness in a Walmart receipt. Did you notice any of the famine, disease, poverty, and injustice in the world, you narcissistic prick?
I don’t know about Jesus but that guy looks a lot like Rasputin, LOL!
which says a lot Deb about how a Jesus image is in the eye of the beholder. Somehow people like this always manage to see what they want to see as it relates to their faith.
