Michael Tulley sent in this new Jesus Illusion :) Along with the aerial photo below, he wrote: “I don’t know if you have seen this before, this is an aerial photograph from streetmap.co.uk. It shows the football ground of Crystal Palace FC in London, England. The image of Jesus appears in the wear and tear of the grass on the pitch! Regards, Michael.”

    What the hell? Look again, it’s neither Jesus nor Mona Lisa. IT’S JOHN LENNON!!!

  2. Jan V. says:

    It looks like Saddam Hussain, building weapons of mass destruction!

  3. Leonardo says:

    The biggest illusion here is that a lot of people see someone they’ve never actually met or have seen photos of.

    I’ve just watched the news and now I know for sure it’s…… Osama Bin-Laden.

  4. Joan S. says:

    When I compare I to photographs of Jesus, I definitely see a resemblance!

  5. Sudarsan says:

    It looks like Usama bin Laden. To many people, it looks like Jesus. Moral of the story: Usama bin Laden is a descendant of Jesus.

  6. Michael Tulley says:

    It is a genuine photo (not doctored by Photoshop or anything), I think one of the local papers in Croydon/South London ran with it a while back. You have to say it looks like Jesus don‘t you? Who would bother to look if I said it looks like Bert Smith from down the road!

  7. Mel says:

    Leonardo, there’s hundreds of photos of Jesus. Don’t be ignorant, ignorance and hard-headedness are the prime reason people renouncing their faith, and therefore the root of all problems in the world.

    No one in their right mind can deny seeing the face of our saviour. This miracle is just one in a long row of evidence that jesus is trying to tell us something.

    If you don’t see it you’re probably already under satan’s influence already.

    I will pray for you

  8. chris says:

    jesus is everywhere, and he likes sports

  9. warren cancilla (Culver city, California) says:

    Yes, if the photo is untouched, then there is a face there, but it looks to be closer to Robin Williams in Awakenings rather than Jesus. Why do People automatically jump to ‘Halelujah it’s jesus’ whenever a bearded face appears? Especially one as indistinct as this one.

  10. [M]ilt says:

    there isnt strong evidence thats jesus… besides. it could be caused by crazy men running around the field chasing ball till the grass turned orange..

  11. frankie says:

    some kinda!! but not looks at all!!!

  12. me says:

    i didn’t know jesus had a mustache. looks like anyone. could be jesus though. or the mona lisa. but the mona lisa doesn’t have a mustache either. or it could be a sign from the aliens. or God! or it could be….

  13. anna says:

    by the way, cameras wheren’t common until at least the 1800s, so there aren’t any photographs of Jesus. and the paintings you see of Jesus are the artist’s (usually western-isd) ideas of what He looked like. and, unfortunately, Jesus was a heritic in His day (think martin luther in catholic england around king henry 8’s rule)so there probably wouldn’t be any images of Him anyway.

    that’s not to say he wasn’t right.

  14. shy_stir says:

    That looks like some good grass and you all apparently have been smoking it. It’s Tommy Chong now find me Cheech and I will be impressed \m/(-_-)\m/

  15. ryan says:

    nuhh mate. I reakon its jesus. lol. baseball field… what was he thinking

  16. BibleGurl says:

    Here’s the scoop:

    1) If a human likeness shows up in a stain, grilled cheese sandwich, or football stadium and it looks like a woman with long hair, it’s supposed to be Mary. If it looks like a woman with long hair and a beard, it’s supposed to be Jesus. Those are the rules, no doubt set by the catholic church many years ago.

    2) Yes, John Lennon had long hair and a beard, as did many people in the 70’s, but he’s not as likely to pop his face into anything that’s not making money in perpetuity. And don’t say that it’s John too loudly or Yoko might sue the stadium.

    3) Everyone who thought Mel was seriously saying that there are photos of Jesus has fallen into the trap that Mel set for them. Apparently it’s funny to say stupid things pretending to be religious so that people think religious people are stupid.

    4) It’s true that nobody knows what Jesus looked like, except that he had a beard (which was torn out by Romans shortly before his crucifixion.) As human beings, our brains are hard-wired to find faces, even in unusual places. If that face happens to have a beard, it might as well be ascribed to such an important person, but I can think of a hundred other things which remind me of Jesus besides a poorly-watered football pitch. Like motorcycle riding, and chasing chickens, and Diet Pepsi. (No, I’m serious.)

  27. nicholoas says:

    Um. Does anyone find Jesus really handsome? Is it weird/bad to be physically attracted to a diety?

  28. Alien says:

    ‘Even if it were Derby County’s “Baseball ground” we would still be talking about soccer.’

  45. Anonymous says:

    @ ethan #16 (and all the other)

    it looks like its been photoshopped. it still looks cool though.

    if it were photoshopped, everybody who had ever used photoshop could do it much better than that.
    this illusion is just a bad picture from a satelite like every other pic too.
