Man sees Jesus in block of wood

[damnedifIknow]

Robert Hamilton will be the first to tell you that he is a Christian and a believer, but what he saw in a piece of leftover wood from a lamp making project surprised even him.

Hamilton has been woodworking for over 25 years and does custom woodwork out of Evergreen.

On Good Friday a few years ago, he was putting several pieces together for a lamp he was making out of cedar wood. In one of the scraps he found what he says looks like a profile of Jesus.

Hamilton admits that some people he's shared his finding with do not see the same thing he sees.

For several years people around the globe have said they have seen pictures of Jesus in everything from pictures to food.


Some have even sold their items on Ebay.

Hamilton says for now he is keeping his finding. He'd like to think it was sent from God."

looks pretty vague... could be anybody with hair and indistinguishable face. But okay, if he thinks it's what he thinks it is...

[underpants]

3. Looks more like Glenn Frey to me

Maybe Glenn Frey IS Jesus, that just dawned on me. He has 7 women on his mind- that's like the Jesus level alone

[lunasun]

12. 2 that want to stone him . One says she's a friend...I think you are on to something ...hmmm....

[Whisp]

41. LOL.

[JHB]

5. Looks more like a blurry profile of Ghengis Khan

[Control-Z]

7. I can usually see whatever you want me to see

if I look hard enough. But this piece of wood? I see nothing. Nada. Zilch.

[Whisp]

42. i think it's a profile facing left.

and looks like the singer from Journey.

oh?
oh my gawd!
I see 'Don't Stop Bleeving' in tiny tiny letters...

[JimboBillyBubbaBob]

8. Humans are...

...pattern seeking creatures after all. Goob sees what he wants to see!

[adavid]

9. Avoid all the confusion and..

enter an Orthodox Church and look at the many Icons. You will find many images of Jesus there.

[Bonhomme Richard]

11. Block of Wood sees Block of Wood n/t

[2naSalit]

28. !!

[we can do it]

13. Did he let him out?

[frogmarch]

14. The original Woody Allen Jesus n/t

[dipsydoodle]

16. Looks like Jeff Lynne to me.

[hrmjustin]

18. oh lord!

[sakabatou]

19. I see... a conquistador with a beard

Seriously, these are fucking ink blot tests.

[lpbk2713]

22. As long as he stays away from the brown acid he should be OK.

[dflprincess]

62. You have to be a certain age to really get that

I got it.

[Courtesy Flush]

23. The Jesus gets around

?1

[2naSalit]

29. !!!

[Whisp]

43. That's Dog Butt Jesus!

I have a picture of him in my funny folder.

[BlueStreak]

26. Well, to be honest it does kind of resemble

CHOCOLATE JESUS

[jmowreader]

64. That takes "eat me" to a whole new level

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

65. You gotta have a chocolate jesus

[joeybee12]

30. Looks like Neferteri to me...nt

[surrealAmerican]

32. That's Thor!

... and he's going to be angry because you didn't recognize him.

[damnedifIknow]

33. Why is Jesus in a block of wood?

Termite Jesus???

[Whisp]

44. Termite Hunter Jesus?

[spanone]

34. don't bogart that joint....

[Aristus]

35. I'm a Christian, too.

But why am I seeing Prince Valiant instead?

[Shrike47]

36. I need an arrow or a circle or something.

All I see is wood.

[nyquil_man]

37. Hmm. All I see is pareidolia. nt

[Autumn]

39. I'm a believer now. I see Santa

and now I'm pissed. I saw no need to be a good girl so now I'm screwn.

[SidDithers]

45. And as always, Mitchell and Webb is appropriate here...

Sid

[struggle4progress]

48. The dogma isn't that blocks of wood reflect the divine image but rather that other human beings do

It's not that one should treat blocks of wood as one wants to be treated oneself but rather that one should treat other human beings to that standard

And similarly, John did not write in his epistle Whoever claims to walk in the light but hates wood blocks is still in darkness but something rather different

What you find, of course, will depend on where you look

[icymist]

53. Are you trying to say...

Do unto wood as you would have wood do unto you?

[tjwash]

49. I see 2 Jesus' high-fiving...what do I win?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

50. And I see a block of wood

where the guy's head should be.

[Vashta Nerada]

52. I see a block of wood.

Seriously. Why does shit like this get posted on news websites as news?

[Lint Head]

54. It's also the Trinity! A triangle. A pyramid has a triangular shape.

Well it's not exactly a triangle because the straight lines look uneven. But ..but the wood is brown and Jesus looks white. Is he looking into magic mirror. No.. that's from Sleeping Beauty. There's no magic mirror in the Bible. But there is a Unicorn. Does that make any sense to anyone? Was Jesus a Unicorn? No he was a Capricorn. Jimmy cracked corn and I don't care!

[revmclaren]

57. If you turn the block upside down....

It looks a little like Shrek in a hood. I guess its all a matter of perspective.

[Warpy]

58. I guess it beats the dirty shower stain or gunk dripping down under a bridge

What I see is a country woman from the late Elizabethan in profile with a dirty old bald guy in the background staring at her.

[Texasgal]

59. Errrm?

I can't see anything except a block of wood. Am I missing something?

[Blue Owl]

60. It's just the Prince of Piece

n/t

[BootinUp]

66. How does he know what Jesus looked like?

[AuntFester]

67. Blockhead sees blocked head in block of wood.

Maybe I can toast something up to put on eBay.

What an idiot.

[Initech]

68. Uh huh huh huh huh huh huh... wood.

[Cleita]

69. I see God in every living tree.

So I suppose Jesus is a chip off the old block?
