Every Sunday a dwindling fraternity of generally nice people gather in churches across the world to share their faith and, in the higher end establishments, a few biccies washed down with Maxwell House. The friendly banter often turns to the well-worn subject of 'do you reckon Jesus will ever come back down to Earth and reveal himself to us?' Understandably, the prospect excites believers no end. Some start thinking about on their own. At home. During the week. It can get out of hand.
These people want it to happen so bad they make it happen. I think this phenom is called a self-fulfulling prophecy.
Here's an example. This week, Gareth and Claire Allen of Ystrad, Rhondda, Wales, are convinced they have discovered Jesus staring back at them from the underside of their jar of Marmite. The South Wales Echo got hold of the revelation and now
BBC News are all over the story. Do you think this actually is Jesus or are you more convinced by Kit Kat Jesus?
