So Jesus Walks Into a Bar...

Well, a sandbar, anyway. And I guess he would've floated, not walked. Either way, I'm talking about the life-size fiberglass statue of Jesus that was found on a sandbar in the Rio Grande River.

No one's come to claim the thing from the police station, it seems, so a bunch of the yokels have come to ogle it. Seems these folks have decided it's a religious message from God!

Yeah, I'm serious! One of the police at the station, Lt. Daniel Morales, said, "Some come to pray, and some come and just touch it." Scores have already come to see the statue, with interest in it growing daily.

Many seem to think… you guessed it… that it's a miracle!

I'm sorry, but why, exactly, is a statue falling off a boat considered a miracle?

And people think I'm harsh for sometimes thinking that devoutly religious people need to have their heads examined…
