Images of jesus?
Because they're looking for religion, not the everyday. The spiritual. So you're going to get that which moves your soul (and for most that is Jesus or some other religious icon), rather than your uncle.
Reply:It depends what you believe in.usually this image is reflected from your belief to what you saw.
Reply:Peridolia. People see what they want to see in anything. Our minds are hardwired to look for patterns - otherwise we wouldn't recognize faces or learn languages. But then we look for them in other places, and that's where we go wrong.

Reply:the world is fixated on believing god shows himself on things like that.. like the tortilla in mexico with mother mary's face on it.. come on. the bible says in the new testament that god does not prove himself to you, it would be too easy for you to believe. it's all based on faith.
Reply:Jesus wouldn't do that.It is justpeople's superstitions.People are basically idolloters by nature.Romans 1 will tell you that.

Reply:Funny - no matter what or how Jesus is talked about. Even the atheist who do not believe in God still spend talking about their non belief. Which makes them seem passionate which is an emotion - if you truly did not care about Jesus or God would that not be indifference and you would not even bother to respond to such things?



Sorry got on a soap box there
Reply:How do they no what jesus looks like? i dont think they had cameras back then. i wish they did.
Reply:sometimes its mary.
Reply:It's called augmentation. Greater meaning is given to things than is actually there, and people augment from objects out of how and what they percieve.



There is nothing wrong with it if kept in its proper perspective, and seen for what it is, rather than for what you want to see. There is a difference between an object used as an aid to faith, and not an object of faith in itself.
Reply:I often find this strange since once of the 10 commandements clearly states

Exodus 20:4 "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven . . . earth . . . water."

so in essense all those people worshiping sandwiches or stains on a tree whatever are actually going against their own bible... hahaha!
