Everything has a rational explanation. Evil Xenu-worshipping satanist bugs threw that stone at the face of Space Jesus. It left a mark resembling his face, just like on the Sudarium. Then Space Jesus threw it back at them, but they hit it with a huge satanist-insect-baseball bat, and hit a homerun at wacko's house.

I can't enjoy a breakfast taco anymore without first checking to see if there's not a Jesus or Mary image on it. And I'm pretty sure I'd eat it anyway if I'm hungry.
JC: "Eat this bread, this is my body"
John: "Yeah, now that you said it, if I squint real hard this little crease on the crust does kinda look like you."
