Don’t stigmatatize the believers.

I’m just saying that ideally you want your Messiah to be House-of-God-trained.

True believers would see this as a baptism.

Careful now! It might be a clever ruse…

That’s how you get a wine stain out.

Oh. He turned the wine back into water so it wouldn’t stain the carpet.
Good move.
Correction: God move.

I know religious folks are apt to push the boundaries of pareidolia, but the wishful pareidolia is extra strong here… I can’t see a human outline, much less a “Jesus” (with his woolly hair). Even with someone actively saying, “Look, a human figure!” my response is, “Nah.” That this embarrassing claim made the local news… whoo boy.

I was able to mostly get there (my best crack below) definitely more of an “illustrated sunday school” level than “painting on grandma’s wall” level…

Wow. First, toast, and now a puddle?
Somebody better tell the fundie-evangies their Jesus has been found - again.

Looks more like Zoidberg…

At a stretch, the "head’ portion looks more like this to me, rather than a “Jesus”:
But it’s attached to… a blob.
Edit: But given the inhuman shape, the best one can make out of it is an awkward cartoon figure.

This old altar boy got treated to a very sad variety of pareidolia while visiting his cherished, cigar-chomping, ping-pong-playing pastor many years ago. Pointing to the church’s classic frescoed ceiling work, he pointed out a stain there that, to him, appeared to be an image of St. Mary (as our church was commonly known as). He took that as a sign that his church would not, as planned, be closed down and its parishioners absorbed by the much larger St. Trinity. What else could I do but agree with his interpretation. Anyway, both church and its (our!) adjacent 8-classroom schoolhouse are now gone. Nice couple of condos though, and the street corner dedication to our old pastor remains in place.

For some reason it reminded me of Animal and this song.

That has me wondering what the most extreme response has been to a case of pareidolia. (Though realistically, if one goes back far enough, the answer is probably “genocide.”)

Given religion-themed pareidolia, absolutely anything could and did happen. What a world.
