See Jesus App uses the art of illusion

This “See Jesus” App is definitely proof that there is an App for the most reverent of us. The App allows the user to see Jesus by staring into certain pictures, and then staring at a blank wall. It is an old optical illusion trick, and I suppose it would be better than seeing Jesus on a grilled cheese sandwich (see a recent episode of Glee called “Grilled Cheesus”). It costs about $0.99, and twenty percent of that revenue goes to the American Cancer Society. Full press release after the jump.
