Requirements Checklist for Choosing a Cloud Backup and Recovery Service Provider

An American family just sold the stain on the floor of their garage for more than $1500. This may or may not be a sign from God.

According to the The Associated Press, the stain looks like Jesus Christ. To us, it looks like a stain.

Smudge on a driveway in Virginia

Smudge on a driveway in Virginia

After noticing some driveway sealant on the floor of their home garage, the Forest, Virginia family snapped a photo and chucked it onto the world's most popular auction site. A week later, another Virgina resident paid $1,525.69 for the sealant smudge - and the hunk of concrete beneath it.

"I really never thought I'd get any [money], to be honest," said seller Deb Serio, a high school teacher who's received hundreds of messages about the smudge from around the world. "It's fun to see what people say and think about it."

What does she think about it? She thinks it's a smudge, not a miracle. "There are some people who need this kind of thing to sort of start them on their faith journey. I don't," said the practicing Lutheran. "That's why I don't mind parting with it."

The Reg can safely say that America is a country driven by two things: cash and Christianity. ®

NON CHRISTIANS

It looks to me like some of you have way too many questions and no answers except your own. Questions are good if you truly want to know the answer. I know some of you out there seem to think you are your own God and thats ok because you have your own free will. Im sure at one point in my life I thought alot of things were my god like money- my self- I loved many things that are meaningless.

Where is your Soul going when you die? I know one man said on here he would be plant food, but what about his soul- you are of value- you are worth more than what you think in your own mind,

What is holding this universe up and what is beyond it & beyond that- who created it and why are we people, Why give into hatred and wickedness? why live a false life in a pretend world in our own mind. Who gives us breath, why do we have a heart? If you did not know who wrote the bible and why; then you should really find out. If you did not know ~it was the first book ever printed/ if you did not know you should truly find out the truth, which I can see many of the people writing on here have not. I can see many people do not fear God. People go to hell that do not accept Jesus Christ as their Savior by the end of their life here on Earth- that need to be forgiven for their sins (it is their own decision -Salvation is seperate).

Hell is a true place that stinks of sulfur, it is a place where you should not want to desire to go for an Eternity to burn forever with Satan. Jesus said he has prepared a place for us, in His House are many Mansions. I can say Jesus is real because of my experiances in my Life, to understand in the Spirit of God who I am and growing my life in Him. TRY TO SEE BEYOND YOUR OWN SELF- LOOK AT THE BIGGER PICTURE. Who made the grass and the trees? Who made the sea and the ocean? The bible is the most studied book in the world and is found to be imaculiant so DO NOT BE SO SHALLOW - hello!

Jesus will come one day as He said . Mat 24:30

If you have not read the word you cannot really say some of the things you say. God made you wonderfully, he has a purpose for you- do not waist your life without trying to atleast find out. The bible says that without Christ we are like walking dead men, our life is nothing without him.

now try to read what I wrote again without skipping over everything I wrote-

YOU ARE WORTH MORE THAN MANY SPARROWS-GOD SEES US, LOVES US

Who did people believe in before "God"?

Really...who was actually there to write the Old Testament? Who wrote the new one? And what did people actually believe before Jesus appeared on the planet, then died 30 years later....like most men of the time...

I do find the ramblings of some of these beleaguered individuals amusing - they account for some fun reading the comments on articles like this. They certainly allow for people to sell what was bought for tuppence, spilt, used, abused, walked over and generally made less valuable, to be sold for extortionate sums of money. Oh yes. Extortion.... You'll go to Hell if you don't pray to God! Hmmmm...

just another myth fools follow.

It's so amazing just how many people are unwilling to take responsibility for their own actions.

Why hasn't an american sued god yet? You blame him for everything you do, and you love to sue everyone else while dodging your screwups, come on! sue god already!

There's thousands of gods out there that people believed in that no one follows today. Each and every one of them inspired fools to be totally devout and unquestioning.

... and one day the Christian god will simply be another forgotten myth worshipped by misguided fools.
