Anti-Christian statment there, bub.

Yep, it sounds a lot like something a Muslim would say. Christianity has NEVER taught that a likeness of our Lord was idolatry.

The Shroud of Turin is either the burial shroud of our Lord or it isn’t.

If it IS NOT, then why hasn’t anyone been able to explain how a medieval forger could have made it? For that matter, why are modern scientist unable to make a perfect reproduction TODAY? It seems that those should be very simple questions to answer.

However, if it IS the burial shroud of our Lord that would mean that He WANTED His image to be shown on the shroud. If He WANTED it there, it means He WANTED us to see it and that would mean that He produced what some denounce as an idol.

Hardly - since Jesus was not buried in a shroud but rather strips of cloth and the napkin that covered his face was neatly folded in the tomb I can say without a doubt that the shroud of Turin is a fake. Anyone who "venerates" this thing is guilty of idol worship.

John 20:7 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
