Not Jesus In Ikea?!
Many people are saying they see Jesus in an Ikea bathroom. Don't believe me? The pic is right here and the story from the UK Telegraph.
A bearded face, with long flowing hair, is plainly visible on the wooden door of the men’s toilet in the Braehead outlet of the Swedish furniture and meatballs giant.My thought is that if it's got people thinking about God it's a good thing. Even in the bathroom. But I also doubt that God would have anything to do with Ikea. I'll explain. I'm pretty sure God doesn't like Ikea.
There is some debate over whether the face truly represents the Son of Man, or whether it is in fact Gandalf out of the Lord of the Rings, or even a member of ABBA.
One shopper said: "It takes you by surprise. It is really clear in the wood.
"I was only heading to the toilet and found God.
If God liked Ikea or approved of Ikea in any way I think His creation would look a lot different.
1) The world would be a lot boxier and a lot less comfortable.
2) God gave us free will to go and do what we want. But Ikea makes you follow that stupid line on the floor so you have to walk through the entire store just to pick up a lampshade.
3)There were no Allen wrenches used in the construction of the world. (See Genesis)
4)The world would've been presented to Adam and Eve in a box for them to construct. And mankind would still be working on it because Adam and Eve would've thrown out the instructions printed in six languages.
5) The universe would've fallen apart a long time ago if Ikea had anything to do with it.
On the other hand, Ikea's swedish meatballs are heavenly.

6) There would be a lot of leftover screws lying around (and mashed thumbs)

IKEA’s Polish Catalogue Introduces “Ian and Steve” as a Model of the New Family
It looks like a disappointed/sad Jesus to me. (IKEA is from Sweden, of course.)

Also, Jesus was raised by a carpenter. I wouldn't imagine He had much respect for IKEA.
Have to admit...I like IKEA...My girls (then 5 & 7)
Hepled us assemble our kitchen chairs...SO cute.
Real wood, $20.00 a piece...not bad. They are beat up after 4 years, but I'd rather have $20 chairs beat up than $120. chairs beat up...
Sad about the "Ian and Steve" reference in the catalog...So many companies trying to jump on the "gays have lots of disposable income" bandwagon.
Just look at how hard the city of Philadelphia tries to "attract" Gay tourism...YUCK
Sorry to hear about the "Ian & Steve" promo, but not really surprising at.
On the other hand, I find this entry hilarious because some priest friends and I have an ongoing argument about the merits of IKEA.
Matt, good point about the carpenter thing!
I do like their lox...yum.
That's like the joke:
A little girl told her Sunday School teacher that Jesus lives in her bathroom.
The Sunday School teacher asked her, "how do you know that?"
"Because every morning my Dad bangs on the door and says 'Jesus are you still in there?!"
Ikea launched an advertising campaign in Poland that was just a front for a social engineering project promoting gay marriage.
Obviously this was not popular in Poland, Ikea basically aknowledged that the ad campaign would only hurt business but seemed more concerned about thumbing their noses at a Catholic culture than actually selling products.
Am IKEA store is as close to hell as a man can get on this earth.
I dunno. Kinda looks like Treebeard...a very unhappy Treebeard, I might add.
Larry, I thought the same thing!
Here in Colorado Springs we have various red rock formations on which several images can be seen, the kissing camels, the indian cheif, etc. They just formed there. Once you see them it is obvious. Nothing miraculous there. Sort of like finding things in the clounds.
Not Jesus in Ikea?! Why not?
This is great! I even posted a link to your post on my blog. =)
