Doubt in disbelief
#53
RE: Doubt in disbelief
When I was in school, we were shown a picture of random dots, and we all saw those dots till one kid pointed out it was a picture of jesus, then everyone started seeing jesus in the dots, I being a devout not-sure-ist failed to see anything but dots. Later when I asked around, I got all sorts of observations, from multiple angles of just the face to full body image... apparently those dots contained all possible variations of jesus, or maybe the kids just saw the projections of their own imagination, fueled by the first claim and an attempt to not seem out of place and fit in with the crowd.

Ask yourself, a miracle only seen by believers that too varying in the details between individuals, is there any difference between such a thing and mass hallucinations?
