This is a picture of a real brain scan.
This is an Emergency Room in NC, where a man came in complaining of
Voices in His Head!
After viewing his X Ray...
The Doctor on Duty said that this was common with people who had "voices in their heads" He had seen this several times.
The Nurse on duty is a Christian and about fainted when she saw this.
It has been validated as authentic!

i think you're meant to see a head/face in the bottom middle of the scan
but so what, jesus turns up in my toast the whole time (not really)
BRAINS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY!
And seriously it took me to get to the bottom of the page before I saw the devil analogy...
I suggest a case of judicious photoshop use in any case since it seems that the individual is missing a significant proportion of brain... So does the "patient".
As for Doctor on Duty... I call shennanigans since this is not an "X-Ray". If the doctor referred to this as an X-Ray I would want another doctor who could tell his ass from his elbow and not make stupid mistakes with the names of diagnosis tools.
It is, as has been said, a brain scan. It's a rather routine type of imaging of the brain. I have epilepsy, and I've had it done. Voices in the head! Are you that backward? Hearing voices that aren't there is a symptom of schizophrenia, which is caused by a chemical imbalance. In other words, the brain can get sick, just like your stomach or heart. And it's treatable with medication.
What the fuck?
Yeah, this Rorscach test definitely proves.....
Doctor, nurse, Christian....
I'm sure it's authentic, but what the fuck is it?
There's like a butterfly at the top, and a cross, and a couple of eyeballs...
OMG!
The cross is the voice in his head!
IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW
Just cos one part of a cross section of a brain scan resembles a face - which our perceptual system is designed to pick out - does not mean you have the devil in your head. Anyway, you couldn't hear it from in there. It would be too muffled. And I don't think it's too near the auditory centre.
It does mean your nurse is somewhat over-excitable, though.
Provide link where the Doctor on call said that he has seen that several times? Or that the nurse fainted?
I have seen freakier things on Xrays. Someone shoved a lightbulb up an orifice, didn't suddenly maker him brighter.

So what we are to assume from this is that people with voices their heads are hearing them because of a tiny little disembodied face which has materialised inside their brain. These manifestations also apparantly smoke, as evidenced by the cigarette butt seen to the left of the face.
The problem becomes finding a resolution to the situation. Obviously you can't have it surgically removed, because that would count as an abortion. You can't leave it in either, or your head will fill up with cigarette ash.
We'll just have to pray, and hope that God provides an answer.
I was listening to CarTalk on the radio one day. A woman called in and said that in the treatment of her rear windshield, she saw Jesus every time she turned on the defrost.
I wonder if it can be attributed to the same thing? Ok, I don't wonder. The car lady was hilarious. This is just freaking insane.
And if you let the machine cotinue its scan, which it needs to do to complete the MRI, after moving just 5 mm, the 'face' will disappear.
This 'face' has just about the same meaning as the 'face' on Mars. All it is is the brain's programmed response to find faces.
This is where the conspiracy theory meets the fundtarded world view.
I can vouch for the authenticity of this. I live(against my will) in NC. And there are numerous documented cases of Pinhead residing in various persons brains here. As to the Nurse fainting, that was due in part to her having transferred here from Kentucky. Linda Blair is a more common sighting in brains there.
The things you can do with Photoshop.
"It's been validated authentic"
Where, what hospital? when was it taken? are the originals available somewhere?
Whhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! PRICELESS!
The whole problem with religion was it was ignorant superstitious savages anthropomorpicizing things. BIG SKY DADDY MAKE RAIN!
What did you just do?
Pop quiz - what's the name of the man in the moon>???
Oh Noes! It's symmetrical! Symmetry is the work of the devil!
Honestly, when I first saw it, I thought it was the face from that German Expressionist "Scream" painting.
It´s a CT/CAT which uses x rays. Calling it a X ray is valid!
Having said that it´s still just a cross section of the brain, if you would remove it from the patients brain you would only get a small lump with no resemblance what so ever of a face. It´s an artifact, a cool one, but still an artifact.
Were I not a psych major, I'd laugh.
But since I am, I'm all depressed now.
Oh my god, it's Voldemort!
And there's a pretty butterfly, too!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
