Turin Shroud confirmed as fake

Well, that's that.

[Coop]

No, no. I just put a call in to God Himself, and He confirmed the shroud is legitimate. So everyone can just relax.

[highlander_UW]

No shock here...the shroud was proved a fake by the Biblical record. It's the catholic church that seems concerned about collecting bones of dead men, splinters of the "true cross" and other pointless relics. None of that has any bearing upon a real relationship with the living God.

[Woodworker]

If the French did it, it must be right!

[Frumious Bandersnatch]

So its been proven false, until its been proven true, until its been proven false, etc., etc. & etc.

Seems to be as many opnions in this as there are in the evolutionary debates...

[William Terrell]

What you say is true. While I am charmed by the notion of Christ's image on a shroud, if one has to depend on material objects to connect to God, then one has missed the point, at least, or does worship idols, at worst.

[Pyro7480]

Yeah, those French are trustworthy! (sarcasm)

[Tennessee_Bob]

I don't put my faith in relics - those are from the hands of man.

[dfwgator]

So how long until you can buy it on Ebay?

[Flightdeck]

I don't know whose definition of 'proof' that meets. That being said, it probably isn't the burial cloth of Jesus.

Fake what?

[bayourod]

As CBS would say, "It's fake but true"

[Petronski]

Yeah, I trust the French on this. Right.

[OB1kNOb]

Oh, well! If the French came to this conclusion, then that settles it. Case closed........../sarc

splinters of the "true cross

I think it was Twain that wrote about his visit to the Holy Land; he was accosted to buy "enough splinters of the cross and spikes to build a good size barn."

I paraphrase, but that was the gist of it.

[k2blader]

Don't forget the images of Mary on underpasses.

[steve8714]

Like the Quran?

Based upon your snide and insulting remark, you don't like or respect Catholics or the Catholic faith.

Gotcha.

Good bye.

I wasn't aware that Christ's body and blood were immaterial. Live and learn ...
