From my favorite non-theological/biblical studies blog The Feedbag:
Apparently a Dutch guy found Jesus in a Kit Kat bar. Can you spot him? I can!

Hmm. Photoshopped Shroud of Turin image, do you think?
Sigh….
Bwahaha!
Yeah, it’s definitely a shroud of Turin image of Jesus (or some medieval guy who became the image of Jesus in the shroud)…gotta be photoshop.
oh you skeptics! I believe!!! ;-)
Now he can sell it on Ebay.
Chuck: This is way more interesting than the Shroud of Turin. BTW, do you know if Gary Habermas still saying that’s real?
Esteban: Glad to know you’re alive. Enjoy your Holy Thurday. You guys do the divine liturgy of the last supper today, right?
Ranger: Have you no faith?!! I think it’s legit!
Steph: It’s good to know I’m not alone.
Brian: Indeed, and who wouldn’t want to buy a bitten Kit Kat with the image of Christ in it?
I’m waiting for the crop circle version…
Surprisingly there’s a good number of scholars who say it’s real. I’ve never bought it, but I’ve been surprised occasionally to see a name or two associated with trying to vindicate it.
Ranger…I’m glad other scholars have verified the chocolate…but, if Nick validates the Kit Kat…that’s good enough for me…
CHICAGO, April 16 (CPI) — A prominent U.S. chemist who pronounced the Candy Bar Turin a fake came to believe it could have been real, a television documentary says.
Roy Rogers, a chemist from the Los Angeles National Lab, helped lead the Candy Bar Turin Research Project in 2009.
Radio carbon-dating conducted in April on shreads of the bar dated the image to a year close enough to the same year that the Jerusalem Candy Factory made bars for passover in 30 AD – near the year of the death of Jesus.
Those small but crucial shreads, however, proved to be part of a composite of 2009 candy and that of 30 AD. Rogers said in a video made shortly before his death on April 15th that it could possibly be real but that it might be a fake.
“The worst possible sample for carbon dating was taken,” Rogers said. “The sugar content makes testing unreliable. It consisted of different materials than were used in 30 AD and 2009. Thus the age we produced was inaccurate.”
Rogers said he continued investigating the candy bar image began to believe it was genuine, The Weekly Telegraph reported last Saturday.
“I came very close to proving the Candy Bar image was used to commeorate the historic passover that was the week of Jesus’ death,” Rogers said in the youtube video.
Thus after all the testing it seems the authenticity is undertermined and Mr. Rogers died before a conclusive answer could be given.
Jay,
I love it! Great comment.
