Virgin Mary miraculous underpass apparition………Demonized?

Religion,Thoughts and Questions

In early 2005, a patch of concrete in a motorway underpass in Chicago gained worldwide attention. Apparently the the Virgin Mary had shown herself in an image stained in concrete. I guess this is a step up from appearing on Windex streaked buildings, toast, and oddly shaped Cheetos. This was serious business though. It wasn’t just water and salt run off as city officials had said; it was obviously Mary, the mother of Jesus trying to communicate with us.

In 2009, after hundreds of Candles and flowers were left in honor of the Virgin Mary, a streetside artist thought it would be funny to spray paint horns and ’666′ over the top of the apparition. The police have since painted over the whole thing. I don’t understand the big deal. We have NO idea what Mary looks like. Has everyone forgotten where our images of the Virgin Mary came from in the first place? They came from the creative minds of medieval painters and sculptors. No one has clue what she looked like and never will. Even if these are supernatural apparitions, this image could very well be Janice Joplin or Mother Teresa reaching out from the other side. We know what they looked like……and they kinda look like the image in the concrete.

Yup, Mr. Graphiti Artist, this might piss some folks off.

Victor Robles, skeptical onlooker stated(from MSNBC report):
“I see just a concrete wall and an image that could happen anywhere,” Robles said. “If that image helps more people feel closer to God than maybe that is a good sign.”

Victor, we here at Doodiepants.com disagree. If looking at salt runoff images that roughly depict old paintings of a woman no one has ever seen, get’s us closer to God, I think we may be a little off course. Is this the God you want people getting closer too? And just because people feel like they’re “closer to God” doesn’t make something true. What about the Islamic fundie yahoos running around these days? They believe they’re getting closer to God too. Big deal! It validates nothing and doesn’t necessarily make something “a good sign”.

Look it's Teg Nugent!
