Underpass stains, burnt toast & the pervasiveness of the Cult of the Virgin Mary

This shit never fails to amuse me. There are more pareido-links here;http://godhatesfraggles.net/stuff-that-looks-like-jesus/Here is one of my personal favourites. Creepy Jesus is watching you shower! The only explanation I can come up with for this nonsense is that many, if not most believers secretly harbour grave doubts about their faith. That's fair enough. Only an idiot doesn't doubt. The thing is, that with so much emotional investment in religion, those doubts are sometimes painful to acknowledge. Hence the miraculous appearance of Jesus in a stained bathroom fitting. It must be reassuring to have an aid in clinging onto those beliefs.That and the fact that some of these guys are just plumb crazy."I once saw the face of Jesus in a film..." - John OliverMutate and Survive
