Jesus appears on a moth?

From rocks to a Cheeto, it seems people are finding the image of Jesus everywhere.

Now from east Texas, check out this living, breathing moth!

"His hair right here and you can see the mustache and the beard and there's a little slit right there that looks like His mouth and when he would move the mouth would open so it looked like he was trying to talk to you."

Kirk Harper spotted the moth on an RV trailer Monday, and right away could tell it was unique.

"I immediately thought it looked like Jesus and that was what was so cool cause you've seen His face in grilled cheese sandwiches and windows and things but on a moth's back...we thought that was pretty neat."

Jesus not on the wings of a dove, but the wings of this moth.

The RV shop's owner immediately took it to his church.

"It's an amazing thing."

Brother James Jordan thinks the patterns do resemble Jesus better in person than in these blown-up pictures.

But he adds, that's all it is.

"I don't want to bow down to it. It's not Jesus, it's just an image on something God created."

But this creation has become the talk of the town in Pittsburg, prompting Jordan to give this reminder at church.

"The word of God says that all creation declares His glory... but we're also warned in Romans 1 that we shouldn't worship created things. We should worship the Creator."

A Creator which he says can reach out to us in strange ways.

"If He can do that on a little moth, He can do mighty things in our lives."

Members are keeping the moth at the church. They say if anyone wants to buy it, the money would go towards relocating the church.

Doesn't it kind of look a little like Bin Laden ? Except for the AK-47 ... I don't see that part ...

The image shown seems to be edited/morphed. What say ?

I don't see it. Looks more like my neighbor than any traditional image of Jesus, and that's if I really stretch it. Basically it looks like the back of a moth!

Humans are pattern seeking creatures. You can invert the image of the Jesus Moth and see an even better image of a juggling elf:

Thermopsis, After watching the informative You Tube video, and laughing so much I almost blew out my sushi dinner, I agree whole heartedly. Deeper meanings lie elsewhere....Thank you for puttings things in perspective.
