Ridiculous Item of the Day: Town Switches Off Jesus
Too many things are both disturbing and ridiculous about this news item to comment on. Perhaps my thoughts on this can be summed up by simply stating that it is because people are more interested in a mere shadow of Jesus in their lives that a fight would break out while looking at a an image of Jesus in the shadow. I guess it's easier to bow down and worship a faint image of Jesus than the actual God-man, Himself. Just a thought.EAST CHICAGO, Ind. (AP) — City officials have turned off a streetlight that drew more than 250 people to see a shadow that some say resembles the image of Jesus Christ.
East Chicago Police Chief Angelo Machuca called an emergency meeting Sunday to recommend the light be turned off in the interest of public safety after nearby residents complained about blocked cars and visitors congregating until 5 a.m.
Several arrests were made Friday night after a large fight broke out in the area. [more]
