Needs Help: Holy Is Not Safe

This image◊ was shot down in the Image Suggestion thread. Other ideas?

Opened.

I have no idea what's going on in that picture, and that looks like regular fire.

Here is another image from Raiders of the Lost Ark. I don't know if it's better.

Not really. It's dark, and it's still hard to see what's going on.

The death of Nadab and Abihu? [1]

Best suggestion so far.

I like that first crop.

I do too. The caption should riff on why they died...maybe something like "Take note: God prefers charcoal over gas."

I love that

I think either 7.1 or 7.2 would be good, but I suggest the caption should have a link to the wikipedia article so anyone not understanding the situation can read about it for themselves.

Agreed.

Isn't 7 JAFAAC? There's nothing in the image that really makes it stand out as being related to anything holy. It's just people burning.

I mean, I had no idea until I went on the Wikipedia article and read about it.

The fire came from above, implying a divine origin. And the box next to the burning people is an altar.

I can see the altar but I only noticed the direction of the flames after you pointed it out. And still it's so much fire that it doesn't look like that's the origin of the fire.

Yeah, I didn't notice the direction of the fire either, only that there was so much fire and smoke.

I'd hardly call it JAFAAC, the details are all there. But point, I guess. Here's an alternative illustration, with a much clearer source of the flame, although the burning dudes are shrunk a lot compared to 7:

That looks at least agreeable.

I can go with 17

17's good.

I can go with 17.

17's much clearer.

17 looks like heavenly punishment. Is this covered by the trope?
