There are times when I really wonder what people are thinking.... I thought this would be funny to post in the wake of the Ebay thread talking about their new policies, so, check this out, a fair price, no? http://cgi.ebay.com/JESUS-GOD-FACE-OF-G ... .m14.l1318
Damn! I don't have 16 m usd... I guess its time to sell my whole collection plus.....let me see....hmm... This is outrageous!!!
Upon closer inspection of a portion of said picture, I have come to the conclusion it is not JC at all: On a serious note though, Estimated age of the photo – 33 years old, strangely enough the age JC was when he died. (if you believe all that stuff) This is complete bullshit, I can’t believe people fall for this crap. Also, this sentence didn’t make any sense: PHOTO IS NOW LISTED AT 16,000,000.00 US DOLLARS AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE LISTED FOR ONE FULL YEAR 10 DAYS AT A TIME IF NOT SOLD AND WILL BE INCREASED IN PRICE $1,000,000.00 PER 10 DAY LISTING, SO IF YOU WANT IT OR KNOW SOME ONE WHO DOES TELL THEM TO PAY ATTENTION ! If this doesn’t sell for $16,000,000, why would you increase the price?
Wow. I like to keep my 16 million dollar photos of jesus on top of my big screen...where the good lord intended. Good thing they arent trying to capitalize off of JC or anything. They have good intentions right? They only want everyone to see it. It almost makes me want to ask them a bunch of asinine questions about it in hopes that they take me seriously. My favorite part is that they are INCREASING the price by a cool mil every 10 days.
it must be some kind of insane joke...nobody could be that stupid and naive, the sheer irony of attempting to sell something thats so 'divine' makes my head hurt. If you believe in such an item so much why would the person want to part with it. Ridiculous is too weak a word to describe this stunt lol.
Good luck getting the Buy now price on this during the week of and week after SDDC...someone's surely going to low ball the price
Seriously, I mean, if it's as divine as they say it is, why cash in on it? why not donate it to a church, or the bloody Vatican or something? They would probably get rich off the publicity alone. Stoopid people. Do you think they would trade some Zags for it?
I like this part: "Again we do feel like God has touched our hearts to sell this photo and use the proceeds to help others learn about him" Sounds like greed has touched their hearts, but that 16 million should let them spread the gospel in high style... As a bonus, if you turn it upside down, it looks like satan laughing...
I think that we should take it for granted that this person is retarded and stop being surprised at various elements of the auction. First and foremost, they are under the impression there is a god. Right there, you know that you are not dealing with someone working from a rational point of view. Furthermore, their god has appeared in the clouds to them.
BLASPHEMY! thou shalt not utter the words of the de-evil henceforth upon the SB forum! Cardinal Biggles, fetch... ...THE SOFT CUSHIONS!
I thought this was the most entertaining part! They probably listed this during one of those free auction listing promos!
Quit posting links to live auctions JEEZE! This entertained me, thanks. I kinda hope it sells, that'd be even better. I have nothing against the seller though.
There's always some miraculous image of JC or his virgin mom for sale at eBay. Usually on a tortilla or a washcloth or a piece of toast. Usually the seller is a little less rant-y though. I like the whole "if you say anything against my the authenticity of my beliefs, I'm gonna go tell eBay on you!" theme. Like they care.
I just hope you haven't ruined this auction for me by posting the link...I plan on flipping it for double at Christmas... You guys might see me before then, pushing around a picture of Hey-Zeus around the country in a shopping basket (complete with wobbly wheel) that I stole from the grocery, selling quick peeks at the holy countenance for a buck or two. Crazy, homeless, and most likely bitter, but in possession of an authentic $16 million picture of JC in the clouds... Best thing about this auction is that it is listed under "Weird Items"...must be pretty hard to accurately categorize a holy relic! Sad, but true that this is the most fun I've had this morning...
I think it's funny that pictures of JC always look like he does in the old paintings from I guess what would be Western Europe. ya know, the ones painted by guys who never laid eyes on the man? but yeah, trying to bank on something so "divine" is pretty wankerish. why not just donate it or keep it?
Watched a documentary the other week that attempted to prove Jesus was a mythological figure rather than a real person. I think religion is a bunch of hooey, so I admit I'm not too educated on the topic. But the main point that was made is that Jesus died around 30ish AD, and the first written document that mentions him doesn't appear until 70ish AD - so for 40 years he was "forgotten", and all "remembrances" of him were by people that had never known him or seen him. Basically, his life & death were written by people that weren't alive when Jesus was suppose to have lived.
SO true and I always forget about that. Humans didnt really look like that back then and it wasnt until Western Europeon painters started to depict Jesus in this way that the view changed.
'Amen' to that! lol! plus the small fact that the bible was translated, re-written numerous times and other parts edited out completley. The fundamentalists tend to overlook that though I always thought the Shroud of Turin was pretty interesting, regardless of its origins or implications.
