Citrusponge,
Thank you for trying to make this thread relevant to the philosophical forums. I do not think anyone will convert to theism based on a peculiar pattern on a window. In fact, I do not think there are any occurrences at all that would necessarily dislodge a metaphysical naturalist from his religion. If a large pile of ants spelled out a message to you, it would be brushed off as a subjective personal interpretation of a naturally occurring event. No matter how real or meaningful it might be to you, others would still call it a coincidence, and perhaps they may even mock you for being backwards and not living in the 21st century. |

Don't tempt me. I don't live very far from there. I wouldn't actually do it although the majority of the hospital staff and visitors would probably appreciate it since that parking lot must be a nightmare right about now. |

Oh yeah, I could just see it. With our luck, the rock would probably bounce right off of the window, or itself shatter or something.

And the rest of that site has some more funny stuff, like a caption of Ariel Sharon planting a tree that explains that he is planting Gharqad trees to hide behind. This is in reference to a favorite Hadith among militant Islamists that states that one day the Muslims will fight the Jews, who will hide behind rocks and trees -- rocks and trees who will tell the Muslims that there are Jews hiding behind them, with the exception of Gharqad trees, which are trees of the Jews. |

Hah! I've seen lots and lots of tacos that reminded me of Madonna before.
What? Huh? Oh! NOT her FACE, of course! |
