THE HUBBLE TELESCOPE
The 21st century scientist has arrived with a notable and remarkable discovery with an amazing proof that heaven, a celestial city exists. This discovery was made with the development of a spectacular Hubble space telescope which has beamed pictures back to the earth of real true angels!
This discovery which was referred to as the most important scientific data ever collected has not been publicly released for the fear that they may cause world wide panic. The computer enhanced images was safely kept from public view

Why would it cause world-wide panic, that something that about half the population on Earth believes in, were indeed true? Most religions have some view of an afterlife filled with heavenly beings, and quite a few agnostics probably hope that it is sort of true too.
It's funny that none of the other Hubble pictures show something similar; they all show the Universe, just as we expected them to do.
Again, when it comes to religion you can't tell the difference between a jokey lark off site and an authentic attempt at religious revelation.
Because they're both jokes. The pretend one may intentionally give you some clues or innuendo (that's the fun part, seeing who swallows it whole despite giving them so many reasons not to) but the 'real' believer sites, not used to those with some sense, will pull shit like this too.

"I suppose that there will be pictures from deep in the earth of flame pillars and goatmen with horns next."
Or worse, this ...:

...amongst fundie Christains as this (hopefully) went viral, and caused worldwide derision and pointing & laughing at these retards.
Okay so the max resolution on the HST is 1/10 of an arcsecond, or 1/36000 of a degree.
The original post of this image posits that it is in a neighboring unnamed galaxy, so either the large or small Magellanic cloud, or some of the assorted dwarf galaxies. So at the very closest it's 8kpc or 1.534x10^17 miles.
So the pixel size of the image is 1.534x10^17 miles*sin(1/36000 degree) = 7.436x10^10 miles.
This is roughly the size of the solar system, times 10.
Lets be generous and say the angels are 20 pixels tall. (I don't care to count the pixels). They would be 200 times as tall as our solar system. This is clearly ridonkulous, at that size, why even try to look human. Unless they had the density of nothing*zip*nadda, they would collapse into squicky feathery black holes.
You can either say they are not physical entities (in which case they couldn't be photographed), or you have to assign required secondary powers of not dying in a mess of gravity and angel guts. You've created a situation even more ridiculous then the religion its based on. Bronze age shepherds had more scientific sense then this.
pictures back to the earth of real true angels!

Hark the herald angels sing
Merrrrry Christmas everybody!
Good gravy! Some idiot took a photo of a religious painting and passes it off as an angel-sighting!
The hoaxer must think we're stupid! Even when I was a "Bible-Butt" I wouldn't have fallen for this!
Also; Wasn't this an article from that rag Weekly World News (The 'Bat Boy' people)?
@Anon-e-moose
I'll bet I could find that same angel painting on Image Search!

So you post it publicly on the Internet? "Keeping it safe from public view"? I guess we are to expect a world wide panic now?
To paraphrase Cracked; if you saw a biblical angel you would sleep with a shotgun under your bed for the rest of your life. Some have four faces, some have multiple sets of wings (one set to cover its terrifying face), some are spinning globes of fire. The angel that guards the entrance to Eden is covered in eyes and carries a flaming sword.
Angels are murder monsters dredged up from the most terrifying aspects of the human psyche.
That doesn't even look like a picture Hubble might take, that just looks like a shitty quality picture of some old painting.
Seriously, at least put the effort in to photoshopping angels into an actual picture of space.
For a minute I thought Dore, because it reminds me of the illustrations in my copy of Paradise Lost, but now I'm not sure.
Fundie has to be an absolute idiot if they think that anyone would believe that, so I'm wondering if Poe...
It took less than 90 seconds for me to find the same image in of all places, Deviant Art. Not sure if it's the OP's original work or if s/he snagged it from somewhere else, but one thing I can say with 100% certainty: the idiot who photoshopped it did an absolutely shit job of it.
It reminds me of an old Christmas card. Nice try, but Angels do not need wings. They may have decided to let themselves be visible, or just for a brief time Scientists got it right. My name is Bernadette. God Bless Us All.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
