It does resemble a bearded man.

However, I think this is more to do with the brain being unable to distinguish objects in some cases and applying the same idea to seperate impressions.
Theyve clearly got an impression of Jesus in their mind and their brain may find it difficult to distuingish between different impressions and group them in to one overall impression.
Then again i could of completley misunderstood the David Hulme book ive been reading!

Can you explain why these people are idiots?

Im pretty sure they are not saying Jesus lives in their lid. They seem to be saying the impression of the smear resembles that of depictions of Jesus.

Then they go onto say that they feel jesus is watching over them because they saw his image in the lid of a jar of fucking yeast extract

'fuckin crazy christians' is directed at that individual family - I'm not extending it to the whole of Christianity so apologies for that!

And yes - if you read the article - they see that image of Jesus as a symbol of him watching over them - as if God decided to mould his sons' face into the lid of a jar of marmite to express his power & so on.

Whoops I read your post as saying all Christians are crazy!

That does not make them stupid though. If their belief allows for a God to exist, and that this God can manipulate events in their life, then it is not impossible that their belief would allow a God to put a face in the lid. We cannot prove whgats right either way but it is a concievable idea and therfore completley possible!

That image is not jesus. Jesus was black, and a woman.

Marmite Jesus only seems silly to us because it doesnt have 2000 years of custom and tradition to validate it.
