Jeepers, I knew I shoulda joined that cult with the "Aliens" instead.

[Doctor Stochastic]

Will a comparison be made with the shroud of Torino?

[RMrattlesnake]

Sorry folks but that's not JESUS his body went with him to heven.

While Muslims say Rozabal houses the tomb of Yuza Asaf, a Muslim saint, many researchers believe it contains the body of Jesus Christ.

Uh, I don't think so. If it was Christ, the tomb would be empty

[The All Seeing Eye]

Hmmm. Thought he was resurrected. ;-)

[Khepera]

He is risen... there is no body.

An American researcher who believes she has found the final resting place of Jesus Christ, is campaigning to exhume a body at a Muslim shrine in Indian-administered Kashmir for scientific tests.

Of course the motivation behind this remains unsaid.
I would guess that Ms Olsson is angry, lesbian and with attitude, else this whole avenue of potential inquiry would be uninteresting.

Incidentally... how (and why) would the most revered player of the Christian faith end up in India? In a Muslim holy place?
These are much more interesting and answerable questions.

Where would they get DNA from to test it against? Oh I forgot he has living relatives. Doesn't make any sense.

[AMERIKA]

Do we want people digging us up in 2000 years!?

[ThreePantherEightyDuce]

If they find the body, will that cause Easter to be canceled? ;-)

[Publius6961]

"If the remains there are sent for testing and then tallied with the results of the Murree project, it will either establish the link between the two shrines as being of similar origin and thus authenticate the Marium-Jesus theory or prove it wrong for good."

Ummmmmmmm. No.
Not unless it is first determined that either tomb is in fact definitely the person "reported" or "presumably" or "assumed" or "purported" or "rumored" to be buried there.

Otherwise the best that can be hoped or said with any accuracy is that the remains are of related persons.

[Irish Queen]

As my preacher son-in-law says, "Absolutely!" The body of Christ is not buried.

As the angel at the tomb declared, "He is not here." Jesus Christ has risen indeed.

[Publius6961]

Do we want people digging us up in 2000 years!?

Truth be told, most rational people without an agenda or an axe to grind don't care.

[Gurn]

Sorry. There's no body. "He is not here. He has risen, just as He said He would."

End of story.

[TexKat]

Ms. Olsson better be careful. One may get what they wish for and more.

Is not anything sacred anymore?

Is it that there is so much time on some peoples hands, that they have to delve off into things like this. Why can't they spend time finding a cure for cancer or find a way to feed all of the hungry, or find homes for unwanted children. Find the answers or solve problems that will be a positive for mankind.

Last I heard, when the stone was rolled back at Jesus grave, he was no longer there.

And besides, what would Ms. Olsson do, if someone tampered with her mother's or father's grave.

[AppyPappy]

No no no. They mean Jesus ALOU, the baseball player.

DNA SAYS IT'S JESUS OH WAIT WHERE DID THE DNA COME FROM TO COMPARE JESUS TO? A LITTLE GREEN MAN GAVE IT TO SOMEBODY IN A LITTLE BLUE BOX WITH A RED RIBBON AROUND IT. AND HERE ALL ALONG I THOUGH HE WAS IN HEAVEN. WHAT A LOAD OF SH**. CAN'T BELIEVE THIS SUBJECT IS EVEN BEING DISCUSSED. GET OVER IT, HE'S GONE - THANK GOD!!
