Florida woman finds sign from God in goldfish cracker
Quote:
It’s a fishy story, but the woman telling it believes it's pure gold. The Florida resident says the markings she found on a Goldfish cracker are a direct message affirming her Christian faith.
“I believe that it’s a sign, a sign from God,” Patti Burke told Florida Today. “He is still in our life every day, and he wants to show that to his people.”
It's not quite manna, but in Burke's eyes it's a manifestation of her faith.
The cracker in question has two markings, or imperfections, on its surface. Burke says the first marking is of a cross with a circle around it. The second marking, near the head of the fish, represents a golden crown.
Ah, I get it now. God's busy showing his people he exists by putting trivial imperfections into cheese-flavoured snack crackers and helping people get to work on time in heavy traffic! Of course he's too busy to actually do something useful and God-like.
I know my mom loved me because she always used to make little designs with the icing on my Pillsbury Toaster Strudels when I was growing up. If she hadn't done that, I might have actually gone so far as to question her very existence.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't fish always have gills?
You seem to be correct. Apparently I just shovel them into my mouth without really looking at them. But if those really are gills, what is this golden crown she's talking about?
I just don't get how sad of a paper, network or media outlet you have to be to post these stories.
It's sad really. This woman sounds like she could be mentally ill and they are basically making fun of it. I knew a guy who was ill and he used to think the way storefront windows were organized was sending him messages. Not religious, but it's the same thing. His family would have been horrified if a newspaper printed it as a story.
