Vigile Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Yes, Virginia there was no Jesus... Your thoughts on this? I saw the shroud in person once. It was quite funny. A bunch of poor old catholic mothers weeping and crossing their chests. When I got up close I saw that Jesus was only 4 feet tall! I got some dirty looks from the vecchie Italiane donne (old Italian women) when I commented at the size of their savior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japedo Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 I saw on National Geographic Channel that the Theory of the shroud was done by none other then Leonardo Da Vinci It was known as one of the first x-rays Hence why the head and body are not in the right proportion. It also explains the burn marks. I like to think it's ironic people worship Leonardo, If there ever was a time traveler it would have been him.

Dark Helmet Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Yes, Virginia there was no Jesus... Your thoughts on this? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We already knew it couldn't be more than a few centuries old, but that's the nail in the coffin. Finally we can put the shroud to rest where it belongs : the grave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JP1283 Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Don't believe everything you read. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Indeed.

Vixentrox Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Can I use it as a cumrag? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A fitting use....but it's just another piece of evidence on how the church scams people.

Christopher Carrion Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Well you have to bear in mind that during the height of its influence, the Catholic church actually relied financially on its peddling of so-called "Holy Relics", not selling them as such, but charging people to enter into their holy sanctum and touch them in order to bring about some magical salvation. So there are probably quite a few of these babies on the modern market too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RevDDM Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Sorry to disappoint, but I have to agree with the "blind leading the blind" on this one... after all, they occasionally get one right every now and then. The shroud of Turin must be a fake. The Bible says that Christ had a cloth wrapped around His head, and one around His body. They are spoken of as two separate cloths. Thus, the shroud of Turin shouldn't have the imprint of the real Christ Jesus' face on it; and, furthermore, if it were Christ's burial shroud, there would be a head-cloth included with it when the Catholics found it. For those not smart enough to believe the Bible's historical facts, or the writings of Josephus, Pliny the Younger, or the Julio-Claudian Histories (yes, I got it right this time), think about this: in order for it to be possible that Christ walked out of the tomb, there would have to be a style of wrap that allowed for freedom of movement, without the risk of tripping on the material. In other words, it's the same reason a bride usually has someone holding her train behind her during her wedding march. -D- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Including a dead guy walking out of a tomb. Clothes, no clothes, totally immaterial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
