Hey, I know that guy, and I bet Wheaton does too!

It’s the Crystaline Entity.

It is Vigo!

Great Ghostbusters reference. You need to do the whole fade thing with a picture of Vigo the Carpathian and this thing.

Try standing all the way across the room. That way, I see the Jesus-on-the-cross, kind of droopy, sad face you see in traditional art.

In the cell phone pic, all I see is a disgusted cat.

The first thing I saw was the Bounty Hunter Zuckus from Star Wars.

And yes, I know I misspelled atheist. Darned lack of a preview function coupled with my hurried typing. Sigh…

Looks kind of like a Cambrian Trilobite .

I saw Vigo the Carpathian: “death is but a doorway; time is but a windowâ€”I’ll be back.”

After looking at this thing for a while I woke up covered in slime dazed and confused.

…assuming they had any respect for me to begin with, of course. (Might be a big assumption on my part.)

Well, this’ll make people lose respect for me…

I’ve had it. I’ve tried over the years to be tolerant if not accepting of religion, and have myself not been able to consider myself an athiest, because I just can’t definitively know, but screw all that now. Screw religion, and all the insanity it has bestowed upon our world. We are all doomed as long as people continue to believe in nonsense like this. A more cynical person would say we deserve to be doomed for holding such beliefs, but I don’t believe in punishing everyone for the errors of a few.
(Yeah, I know, you’re going to say that I’m punishing all religious believers for the actions of these people, so that makes me a hypocrite in your eyes. But I haven’t gone out and harmed or killed people in the name of anything, nor am I advocating any such action now, even against these poeple whom I can’t stand. I just wish religion was a relic of the past, so that we could collectively have a future.)

I see a face – but it looks kinda like Jim Carey as the Grinch. Actually, now that I think about it “The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh” whereas the “Grinch taketh and the Grinch giveth”…

Gee, I thought it looked like Jerry Garcia, playing his guitar upside down. See, I told Y’All, JERRY LIVES,,,

I guess this is one reason the Moslems don’t allow pictures of any critters. Too much likelihood of people seeing crap like this and thinking it’s significant.

Sergeant Zim, I looked at that picture and the first thing I saw was a chocobo and a raven. Then I saw the cross. Lol.

It doesn’t look like a darn thing to me. Some people’s imaginations…

I rotated it 180 degrees and the first thing I saw was a lion roaring at me. I think it’s a female, but maybe it’s an adolescent whose mane hasn’t fully grown yet. There’s one prominent eye to the right of bracket holding the light to the ceiling, and I can imagine another eye on the other side. The mouth is below the bracket (the big dark spot), and the chin is below that. The ears are to the upper-left and upper-right and it’s a lion. (Remember this is all rotated 180 degrees from the original.)

Next, I can see the face of Boe. I didn’t actually know who Boe was, then I clicked the wiki link and it was him! He’s looking left (same rotated view as the lion) and uses the same eye as the lion. There’s a dark spot for his scalp and another for his mouth, then a light spot for an ear (but it looks like Boe doesn’t have an ear, so I must be seeing things).

If I rotate it 90 or 270 degrees from original, I see a cloud with sunrays, but the image is sideways. But I don’t see that when I rotate it so the cloud is upright (180 from original). Guess the lion is just to obvious.

And shouldn’t *any* picture be the physical manifestation of the face of God? That’s how I always learned it back in Sunday school.

And I’m with you (Jack Hagerty) on the transformer thing. As I was reading the description it sounded very familiar, and when I read your comment it all came back to me; that same thing happened at the Methodist church back home when I was in Boy Scouts (the church hosted the scout troop, and we used a couple of the church buildings for our Scout stuff).

Well it looks like a rather dull church tbh, i’m not all that surprised they have started hallucinating.

Defiantly looks more manga-esque than biblical to me.

Looks like one of those samurai crabs to me. Why couldn’t the ghost of an ancient warrior reincarnated as a crab show up in a church? At least I’ve seen evidence for the existence of samurai and crabs.

I see it now. To help those of you who find it hard to make out, I’ve outlined it in this image:

Well I was once at an outdoor performance of Macbeth and just as they get to
the bit about lights and portents in the sky a low flying jet comes over and they
have to wait for it to fly past before they continue. _And_ it was in _Boulder_. What are the odds?

“I was preaching on ‘God Knows Where We Are,’ and all of a sudden a big bang hit the church,” he said.

There was a big bang… then there was god.

Melusine,
I think God looks like whatever stain you find around your house/church/pizza pan/driveway/etc.
Unless it’s a shower curtain; then it looks like Lenin
