Pareidolia. Seeing stuff that isn't actually there...
-
A CHURCH organist believes he can see the face of Jesus in a cocktail cabinet.
He probably needs to get a dog:
Or a bird:
Or a frying pan:
-
Sum peepl iz crzi?
-
I thought that was a given...
-
I'm pretty sure that frying pan is staged
the face is a little too clear for me to believe that it's random chance.
i've seen some impressive instances of pareidola, but that one..... that one screams "faked" to me.
-

I think the word you're reaching for there is "burnt"
-
I can definitely see a face in the first picture (organistist cocktail cabinet), but I woodn't [sic] class Chewbacca as the "jesus" type - outside of any verbal exclamation.

It's a real condition.

I always want to ask these guys, "how do you know what Jesus looks like?"
I guess they're going by the renaissance painters' interpretation? Or what? The Bible AFAIK never describes him physically, he never had a portrait made in his time (or if so, it's completely lost) and it's not like they had cameras back them.

TL;DR version: this image shows exactly how St. Faustina saw Jesus in her vision. She was in fact directly ordered by Him to make this painting. Because she sucked at arts, she outsourced the painting to a painter named Adolf Hyła, and because of divine intervention, he was able to capture what Faustina saw with absolute accuracy, and her memory was itself 100% accurate - I mean, the Curia says so, so every Roman Catholic has to believe it.

From where I got it from:
Nowhere in the New Testament (or anywhere else) is Jesus described, nor have any drawings of him ever been uncovered.
There is the additional problem of having neither a skeleton nor other bodily remains to probe for DNA. In the absence of evidence, our images of Jesus have been left to the imagination of artists.
Oh, and to complete numpties who insist that they have seen the face of the “saviour” on frying pans, in bird shit, on their dog’s ears and bottoms and, most recently, on a 1950s drinks cabinet.

QFT. It's really a fully dysfunctional forum.
and that's why we're all here

I just got a badge for getting enough likes on a post.
It was awarded for a post bashing Dishsoap.
That now makes me wonder how many "likes" based badges have been awarded to anti-DrakeCrank posts? What is the percentage of overall badges?

If you're expecting to get a bunch of likes on your posts because they're insightful and well thought-out, you're clearly in the wrong place.

Well, I guess contacting the painter directly would be breaching the chain of command?
Also it's rather interesting how a guy from 1st century Judea looks like a very contemporary and European metalhead. But well, maybe he just wanted to be painted that way. Maybe he's a rocker at heart.

I really love how, if he did exist, he was an Arabic Jew, but all of our paintings depict him as a tall, thin European dude with blonde hair and fair complexion. In all reality, if he did actually exist, he would have looked more like this:

Niezbadane są wyroki boskie.English translation: fuck you, that's why.

I see the image: I think "that is the sort of expression people have when they think very very slowly
As for the ethnicity of Jesus, yeah. I had that problem in the past, until somebody suggested it might have something to do with the rampant racism of early religions and Man being in God's image etc

You must be Catholic, then?

blonde hair
The eye doctor says I'm not colorblind, but a lot of people refer to what I perceive as brown hair as blond (or blonde).

Thank God he's not also blue-eyed!

Interestingly, I think even Catholics have realized the problem there by now, but they do have a lot of old wrong stuff.

...actually, in some old stained glass windows...

Nope - at least in Poland, people are still in the denial stage of the fact that they're worshipping a Jew. Only a handful made it to the anger stage.

Depending upon the painting, it varies between what I perceive to be light brown to dirty blonde. It is usually in one of those intermediate steps. It is basically the color of my wife's hair (pre-salon trip), so I guess that is why I call it blonde...even though she is more of a very light brown hair.
But, he is never rendered as an Arabic Jew from 2,000 years ago...

Like you ever saw one.

Okay, yeah, I can see Jesus in there.
The prow is leaning off to the right and the sails go up towards...
No, that's not the word I'm thinking of.
It's a schooner.

Adolf Hyła
Hey isn't that the guy who later quit his painting career to become a famous politician?
-
Called it.

Can't they just say that every representation is correct because [very long philosophical explanation of how he is actually the embodiment of every human at the same time or something] ?

David Letterman told a story about his late comedian friend George
Miller. George Miller was going thru a breakup with his ex-girlfriend.
She had a picture of Jesus Christ at their place. So, he wrote "Go to
Hell" on the picture of Jesus. She called the police on him. The cops
asked him if he had anything to do with the desecration of the picture.
George Miller tried to explain, "Jesus Christ?", "I thought that was a
picture of Dan Fogelberg."

The first Mediocre Topic badge was for the Vote of No Confidence thread.
Checking out the first badge involves much scrolling and waiting as the devs, in their infinite wisdom, have deemed the badge pages worthy of Infiniscroll but unworthy of the thing you can click to go anywhere the easy (by Diss&Curse standards) way.

If I point out again that Infinscoll is the shit that comes out of a camel's balls when you staple its ass shut and blow pepper in its face-- will I get a badge?
(because infiniscroll is the shit that comes out of a camel's balls when you stable its ass shut and blow pepper in its face)

Fuck.

Think about it like this:
She says she is a natural blonde.
I think, "Pfffbt, your fucking roots aren't."
But I say, "Yes dear."

It's a sailboat.
@loopback0 said:It's a sailboat!
Schooner
noun- a sailing ship with two or more masts, typically with the foremast smaller than the mainmast, and having gaff-rigged lower masts.
Are you saying that he is using the wrong specific kind of sailboat?
This post has been blessed with a great whooshing - abarker

And in that day, the mods descended from their mighty halls to grant @locallunatic a of great whooshing.

Psst, my name has two "l"s in the middle, not one. Also thanks.

So not only did the same reference generate two whoosh s but now that same film generated another one like 2 hours later

I was thinking the same thing. And he has no excuse, he is a damned 'murican.

It's Mallrats. No one has an excuse IMNSHO.
