Today's Christians get downright silly when they claim to see the face of (the Westernized preconceived notion of) Jesus' somewhere. If an image is "clear" enough, they will prostrate themselves in front of it, embarassing themselves and everyone who sees them. Or they pass by with silent reverence, grasping their rosaries or beads or whatever the hell gives them solace.

They are so desperate to find any sign of God's presence, it's rather pathetic.

It's a miracle!
(no, actually, there is a scientific explanation)
It's a miracle!!!

It's both sad and comical at the same time.
Sad that people are still hung up on all this mumbo-jumbo.
Comical that people are still hung up on all this mumbo-jumbo.

Contrast the Muslim faith with todays Christianity. No one claims to see the visage of Mohammed anywhere. Hell, no! That could mean a death sentence! Have there been reports of "miracles" through the Muslim world? If there have, I'm not aware.
