No, really? Jesus in a tree trunk?
So, members of a church in Memphis say this "face" in a tree trunk looks like Jesus.
Um, hello? What makes you think you know what Jesus looked like? We know he was reportedly Jewish. We know he was supposed to be in his thirties during a time when average human life expectancy was 28 or 30. And yet the artistic depictions are not of an elderly man; nope, not even a receding hairline. Nope, we get young, unwrinkled (well-moisturized?) faces with a plethora of brown hair. Right.
(Cue everyone pointing out it's a green man....)
