In my travels about the 'net, I happened across this; real, honest to Bush photos of Jesus and Mary.

Forget images in dirty windows, stale cheese sandwichs, wilted rose petals, and rotting tree stumps; now we got the real deal! Photographs never lie, so all you Godless heathen, commie-pinko egghead-trash better take notice!

No shit, BPS! It looks like someone just photoshopped a picture of an Obi Wan Kenobi doll together with random images of clouds and then fucked with the color. How stupid!

And Mary seems to be very fond of a particular pine tree, which itself seems to travel from country to country. I find it incredibly hard to believe that the person who set up the site is so blinded by faith as to not notice that there are only about five different Jesus photos, and it's pretty obvious that all of the ones on the top row are identical except for brightness, contrast and tint.

I would have thought that they would have looked a little more Semitic.
I wonder if they put out a magnetic field like ghosts? This would be a good thesis for PHD.



If I knew then what I know now then I would know more now than I know.

Ain't it grand? Would that I had the skills to do even the sloppiest of them. The possibilities for making the more gullible of the fundies insane(r) are all but endless.

And April is on it's way.....

Took me five minutes to put that up. Ok, so I cheated. The picture already had a 'Jesus feel' to it.

Proves Obi Wan is in fact... J!

My husband has been saying so for years! (Personally, I think Han Solo is God, but that's just me. )

Nice work, Siberia.

I totally agree. Hans Solo is God.

Not half as odd as that Jesus & Mary site...cripes!

Reminds me of a certain forum description, "Aliens are real and my doctored photo proves it!"

So are non-religious people trying to make a buck or are religious people so desperate to convince everyone they are right they will lie?

Hey, wasn't that supposed to be a sin? Or is it only a sin if you accuse someone of something false like say, "He has WMDs"?

Not even. Can do pretty much the same with two different colors on another layer then play with that little drop down box in the layer panel. Too simple and less than a minute an image.

Nice image Siberia - Sepia tones and noise?

Three layers (the image was already sepia), the two top ones noised at different quantities and set to multiply (or color/linear burn, don't remember). I tried the cloud, but it ended looking fake. Easy peasy.
