Soybean Oil Tank

To commemorate this 150th entry into the STTLJ pareidolia database, I am adding one of the oldest instances of Jesus pareidolia that I could find a picture for (the Shroud of Turin doesn't count as it was forged). In 1986, some Ohioans saw Jesus on the side of a soybean oil tank, and hundreds of people flocked to see the image. True to modern pareidolia, no one else can see a thing.

This thing supposedly looks like Jesus.

If cameras existed 1,000 years ago, I'm sure we'd have pictures of Jesus' head in someone's grog and mutton chops, or whatever they ate 1,000 years ago.

I dunno, back before the commercialization of religion, wouldn't this have been considered worshiping false idols?

I think that depends on if they had, in addition to cameras, some kind of eBay.

That's a few miles from my house. My dad worked at the factory next door at the time. They finally painted over it to get rid of the weirdos.

If you have genuine interest in the Jesus subject,
2 of the best Jesus movies I've ever seen are:
1) The God Who Wasn't There
2) The Empty Cross
Both are uploaded to youtube : )
