Apparitions from heaven???
|
Still thinking; "So what?"
Is this some variation on the ink-blot test? Quote:I don't understand why you'd come to a discussion forum, and then proceed to reap from visibility any voice that disagrees with you. If you're going to do that, why not just sit in front of a mirror and pat yourself on the back continuously?-Esquilax Evolution - Adapt or be eaten. 
Still my favourite paredolia:

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
I think any normal person can tell those are just northern lights. The most convincing apparition to me is the miracle of the sun in Fatima.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

The operative word being "normal" here. But there is one guy who actually meant to see Jesus in birdshit on his windscreen. Others believe him to make an apparition on toast. All well documented. On a not so serious line there's even a Jesus on dog's ass circulatin the web. Guy who took the picture wasn't serious about it. Just wanted to make a point. ![[Image: h-DOG-BUTT-JESUS-348x516.jpg]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=i.huffpost.com%2Fgen%2F1189905%2Fthumbs%2Fh-DOG-BUTT-JESUS-348x516.jpg)

How many accounts were there? Out of thousands of witnesses, there would have been a few.
What do you think happened?

Also, two things on that. It happened in 1917 and all the pictures we have don't show anything extraordinary. Grainy stuff that could be anything and nothing. Reporters go for a good story to sell papers. Secondly, the date was 1917. Don't you think there was some little business going on just a few hundred miles to the Northeast that would have been more deserving of divine attention or intervention than a one horse town in Portugal? In any case, what are we supposed to see here? ![[Image: 373617846_b480c1f9ba_z.jpg?zz=1]](https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/167/373617846_b480c1f9ba_z.jpg?zz=1)
