Plant growth on utility pole resembles Jesus

Many Christians believe Jesus can be found anywhere. In southern Lenoir County, he may be found on a utility pole.

The pole, about a mile south of Kinston, has attracted attention of some area residents. Some say the kudzu-covered post bears a striking resemblance to Jesus’ crucifixion.

The pole, which is the only one nearby covered in “the vine that ate the South,” is at the northwest corner of Tyree Road and U.S. 258 S., in the Jackson Heights neighborhood.

Kent Hardison, who runs Ma’s Hotdog House less than a half mile from the pareidolia, rides by the Christ-resembling post each day. He said when he first saw the kudzu growing he almost sprayed it with herbicide.

“I glanced at it, and it looks like Jesus,” Hardison said. “I thought, ‘You can’t spray Jesus with Roundup.’ ”

2. Sure you can. And when you get cancer from the Roundup, you can say it was punishment from God.

3. Looks more like Scarecrow to me

4. Kudzu!

Is there anything it can't do?

[classof56]

5. Or...maybe it's one of the two thieves who were crucified on either side of him.

Why, oh, why do I want to say--father forgive them for they know not what they do.

Teh stupid, she reigns supreme!

11. Or one of the tens of thousands of others that Rome crucified.

16. Yep, those Romans liked to line the roadways with 'em.

Sometimes they smeared pitch on 'em to set on fire to provide light at night. As a former fundie, I have long realized that for whatever reason Jesus died, he did not have a corner on crucifixion. Also, we have no way of knowing what he looked like, so any "images" of him are suspect, to say the least. But I learned long ago, fundies never let facts get in the way of their faith!

15. I don't care if it rains or freezes

I just want my kudzu Jesus!

[Shagbark Hickory]

17. Yeah you can't try to keep an invasive exotic pest from creating a fire on the powerline

because it looks like a religious figure.

Welcome to the babble belt.

[-..__...]

18. Just wait until it continues to grow and fill out a bit more...

then the "Swamp Thing" followers and worshipers will come forward and proclaim it as their miraculous proof of existence...
