Umm… I don’t see anything in that picture. I assume you’re talking about the dark splotch in the center, but I can’t see any face in that. Maybe someone could post a picture with a photoshopped outline?

Thank you! I thought I was the only one who couldn’t see any face anywhere.

I also can’t get magic eye thigns to work. I asume it’s all I scam, and everyone who DOES see the picture is subliminally mind controlled, and at some opint, you will all be mindless zombies and I alone will stand against you!

That was brilliant.

Has anyone ever been converted to Christianity based on some smeary image that someone claims looks like Jesus? To me, this looks a little like Homer Simpson’s make-up shotgun on a much larger scale.
