Title: Can you see him?
Post by: Cecilie on May 07, 2011, 10:07:58 PM
Must've been a slow news day, 'cause this was in the news today. Some people claim to have seen Jesus appear in the clouds. I don't see it... Isn't this usually the thing that happens in America?

I see him.  If you can't then that says a number of things about you.  NONE OF THEM GOOD! >:(

It must be the darkest clouds coming up from the horizon and that little swirl make the mouth/beard and above that the eyes and you can make out the rest from there. His head is cocked slightly to the left.

But... more likely they're just fucking clouds.

There also appears to be a man either kneeling in prayer or hunching over to puke in the circle I've drawn.

there is kinda sorta a frowny face in the center...but that's still a big stretch even for someone with a good imagination.  The throwing up prayer guy is at least somewhat defined.

Well shit, now I see a giant face creepily peering on a puking man.  ???

If I squint my eyes and tilt my head just right... I see clouds.

Yes, I saw that guy and it was included in the article that he supposedly was kneeling front of Jesus or something.

I can honestly say I didn't turn around. Though I will have to eventually whenever I leave the room.

What a lovely example of the way the evolved human mind frantically attempts to pattern match, and thus categorise, anything and everything it sees.

It's obviously the Lord Jesus Christ! I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm converted. No more Miss Cynical Atheist, I'm born again. Hallejah! This picture clearly proves that Jesus is real, that he's the Son of God and the bible is 100% true.

Seriously, this just shows how desperate Christians can be.

Maybe it's an Emperor's New Clothes kind of thing, no one really sees it, they just say they see it for fear of not looking pious enough.

Jesus could learn a couple things from this guy, like if you're gonna reveal yourself in destruction, put your face out there. Don't drop down on your knees looking like you're fellating a midget. Shit, at least if you're gonna do something... Look cool doing it.... Jeeeesus!

Yep, another fine example of pareidolia (http://www.skepdic.com/pareidol.html).  This one is especially nice because aside from the "puking man," it's a real stretch to see anything but a tornado in this image.

What tornado? All I could see was Jesus Christ.

You do have a point there.  The sky as a whole is much clearer than one normally sees when a tornado appears.  It may very well be that it just looks like a tornado to me.  I'm very happy for you that you can see Jesus.  The nice men have a splendid jacket with extra long sleeves they'd like you to try on.

It is the age of HD, 3D and DTS.
Gods can no longer expect to impress us with shoddy displays.
Ye the picture is big, but the resolution is rubbish.
Time to upgrade your stuff god.
No more skipping upgrades because something better is around the corner.
If you want to keep your audience the time has come to spend some money.
