The Virgin Mary And Her Many Appearances
The Virgin Mary seems to make many appearances in various forms, somehow projecting a mystical aura more powerful than Adam Sandler and Ricardo Montalban in their Fantasy Island/SNL prime combined. But instead of projecting her ethereal image into the heavens above for all to see, or simply haunting a middle-class duplex like a Poltergeist movie gone bad, she instead seems to prefer making her presence known through unimpressive water stains and burnt toast.
These dubious techniques leave much to be desired by the masses expecting a rock ‘n roll laser light show live at buddakan spectacular of miracles and visions. Instead we’re left to believe in the everlasting love found in the hereafter via signs found in tree stumps and fence posts.

Don’t get me wrong. If you believe that the mother of Jesus Christ has nothing better to do than reveal herself in the crust of your child’s PB&J, then hey, more power to you. Me, I’d like to think that there is a higher power, but that power has better things to do than show itself to a bunch of fervent faithful in the form of a broken tree branch. I’d also like to think that it has more insight and intelligence than to frak with us in such a way.
If you do believe in this stuff, then I don’t mean to belittle your faith. How can I argue faith to a true believer? You continue to believe in your cheese sandwich apparitions. I’ll continue to simply believe that there’s “something” bigger than us out there, and perhaps one day we’ll meet.
