I think homophobia bolstered by scripture has greater weight in recent years. Again, I'm talking about the U.S. and about shifts in emphasis.

When you're talking about evangelical protestants, it's all about sermons because it's all about tv and storefront ministries.

You mean like Cheesus?

A High Ridge, Mo., woman says she has found Jesus in a bag of Cheetos.

When Kelly Ramey opened a snack-sized bag of Cheetos, she felt something unusual and checked it out.

Most of her family and friends believe it looks like a mini orange sculpture of Jesus on the cross. Ramey and her husband call it "cheesus." Others see something completely different.

A local minister does not see anything theologically special about the Cheeto, but thinks some good could come from it.

Ramey doesn't plan to sell the Cheeto because it's bringing a lot of joy into her home. She will keep it in a safe deposit box or put it on display so more people can enjoy it.
