 2011 0726 28663656 640X480 Don Taylor snapped this photo in Littleton, Colorado. He says it resembles Jesus Christ on the cross. "I'm a nonreligious individual, but this struck me," he told 7NEWS. "And it was right across from a church, which I thought was really interesting."

    Right across from a church, indeed.  Fucking christians.  Why won’t they leave poor jesus (“hey-sus”) alone?

    Cool, but not nearly as cool as Kudzu Jesus. KJ was spotted across the tracks from the Boylan Bridge Brew pub in Raleigh. Pub owner responded with a sign, “What Would Jesus Brew?”

    “I am the vine, you are the branches.  If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”
