Another Miracle Sighting [ Yawwn ] |
http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/4562552/detail.html
The interesting point here is that TWO faces appeared. One was said to look
like a pharaoh, the other was "Jesus". The pharaoh was painted over.
Obviously not a miracle.
It is an excellent illustration of the way theists count the hits and ignore
the misses.

Josef

Agreed, it's just bad preparation of the door before painting it.

At first *I* thought it didn't look like anything, too; then I stopped and
thought of that man -- if the word really suffices to describe him...! --
that unique and special man from so long ago whose uniqueness and
specialness led that little group of ordinary people to just abandon their
previous lives and values and *follow him*, hanging on to his every word and
doing whatever he said - not because he had an army, but because of who and
what he was. And as I thought about him, and about what he did, I found that
*I gradually started to see his face* -- his actual *face*! -- in the
picture. Until at last it was *complete* and *completely convincing*: I
*really was* looking at the face of ... *Charles Manson*...

What I finally concentrated on was the dark area. Clearly there is -
something there - perhaps a man with a mask or maybe Satan trying to tempt
us.
But then again I saw Tigger in one of those pictures of the devil from 9/11.

If that is Jesus, he had some Roman blood in him.
Look at that nose.
Personally, I think he looks more like King Richard.

Foolish people will always see what they want to see and believe what
they want to believe. Of course they would never consider why the son
of a god would want to reveal himself in a sloppy paint job in a run

Does anybody see the devil in the following picture?
http://www.elroysemporium.com/images/bg18.jpg
I used the above picture in one of my stories, and two different
people have told me they se the devil in it, huffing and puffing and
blowing fire from his mouth.
They say that right above the 18, they can see the mouth of Satan
spewing out fire and whisps of smoke, and in the center top, where the
small dark area is, they say they see the eye of Satan. And
underneath the 18 is Satan's chin!
The only thing missing is Satan's nose! :)

Looks a lot like an oil well fire to me. I see lots of flame, some
smoke, and not much else. Satan was probably posing elsewhere, like in a
tornado in Nebraska.

Does anybody see the devil in the following picture?
http://www.elroysemporium.com/images/bg18.jpg
I used the above picture in one of my stories, and two different
people have told me they se the devil in it, huffing and puffing and
blowing fire from his mouth.
They say that right above the 18, they can see the mouth of Satan
spewing out fire and whisps of smoke, and in the center top, where the
small dark area is, they say they see the eye of Satan. And
underneath the 18 is Satan's chin!
The only thing missing is Satan's nose! :)
Actually, in the fire in the distance, I think that I can see horns and
the rough outline of a face with eyes below the horns. I wonder if I
would have noticed that if if you hadn't mentioned the devil in your
post.
Suggestion for a control experiment. Post the url for the same picture
to an xtian website and ask if anyone can see Jeebus or Gawd's face in
it. I wonder what the response would be?

The interesting point here is that TWO faces appeared. One was said to
look like a pharaoh, the other was "Jesus". The pharaoh was painted over.
Obviously not a miracle.
It is an excellent illustration of the way theists count the hits and
ignore the misses.
Foolish people will always see what they want to see and believe what
they want to believe. Of course they would never consider why the son
of a god would want to reveal himself in a sloppy paint job in a run
down old house in Detroit anyway.

Perhaps just asking "What do you see in it," instead of mentioning
Satan, Gawd, or Jeebuz, would be better? Maybe some people would
see lambs or lions or something else... Just like they do with clouds
and constellations in the sky.
Most people seem to attribute fire to Satan or the devil, so I'd be
surprised to find many god believers saying they see their god in the
flames, but I could be wrong...

That's how Rorschach tests are supposed to work. People supposedly see
what their conscious or subconscious wants them to see.

I can see an ear in the upper left, but the clear image is of the chimp
just right of center near the ground.
His mouth curves above the wreckage(?) and the light just shines on the
upper curve of his ear.
But you're not going to believe what else I see. If you squint just right it
looks like there is a line of fence posts along the ground!!!!!!

Any hippie with long hair and a beard looks like "jesus". A picture of
