I’ve been seeing some fellow asking about, “What was Jesus writing on the ground when...?” and it seems that Christians fellow could not answer.
Jesus didn’t write anything, but he made a “mirror of sin” on the ground.
Please check this out.
Jesus having entered into the Temple, the scribes and Pharisees brought to him a woman taken in adultery. They said among themselves: 'If he save her, it is contrary to the Law of Moses, and so we have him as guilty, and if he condemn her it is contrary to his own doctrine, for he preaches mercy.' Wherefore they came to Jesus and said: 'Master, we have found this woman in adultery. Moses commanded that [such] should be stoned: what then say you?'
Thereupon Jesus stooped down and with his finger made a mirror on the ground wherein every one saw his own iniquities. They still pressed for the answer, Jesus lifted up himself As and, pointing to the mirror with his finger, said: 'He that is without sin among you, let him be first to stone her.' And again he stooped down, shaping the mirror. The men, seeing this, went out one by one, beginning from the eldest, for they were ashamed to see their abominations.

If you're going to cite something like this, identify your source. How are we to recognize something from a version of the story we've never encountered?
That is not the way the story appears in our canonical scriptures, and your source is obscure enough that I can't find it easily via a Web search. You might as well ask why we don't "recognize" the U.S. Presidency of Aaron Burr (or, for that matter, of Dan Quayle). For all we know, you might just have invented the story.
