A friend recently sent me this picture in an e-mail describing it as "The Eye of God." The e-mail assured me that if I gazed upon the Eye of God, it would change my life (presumably for the better, in a way that I could understand and appreciate).
Laughingly, I responded: "In ancient times, if you told someone that they could look upon the Eye of God, they would refuse to do it. They would be certain that someone would be instantly struck dead for such an offense. Today, we take pictures of the Eye of God, transmit it to our friends through the internet for entertainment purposes, and use it as a charm for granting free wishes...and they say ATHEISTS are arrogant."
