The Shroud Of Turin

LOL. When did I get around to pissing you off, Grave, or Stephen for that matter? Me thinks the grapevine that runs behind the scenes has been poisoned against me.

I'm apparently being ignored by Stephen Thomas.

Why should he differ from the rest of us?

Take poverty, for example... When Hipparchia came to Cratès, he just took all his clothes off and said : "Look, that's all I'll ever have for you..."

La boucle est bouclée !

Just to increase your vocabuluary, David....

In England we say 'stark bollock naked'.

What's French for 'on the ball' mon ami?

Must be something like "se démerder/toucher sa bille", Stephen...
Cynics are Christlike, aren't they ?

I confess a soft spot for Cratès and Diogène, my friend.

Stephen,

Are you joking or actually advocating political correctness?

Try Political Correctness David.

It's Christianity without the mumbo jumbo.

The New Testament was cobbled together by Alexandrian Greeks mindful of Plato's noble lie theory.

Love your enemy. How radical is that?

the Ethiopian poet Mulugeta Tesfay once told me : "Who can show me a better God than Jesus ?"

I couldn't. I can't.

There's something in what you say, Jordan. It's as if people have always needed these. Perhaps because the world is so immense, and we are so minute and have little control over what happens on so many levels.

I think you guys may be looking at this backwards. There was an excellent South Park story arc on that deals with this very subject of whats real and whats not. I mean when you get down to it maybe its all part of the same thing, God, Jesus, Buddha, Leprechauns, Heaven/Hell,Santa, Aliens,etc. These ideals/characters, real or not, were here long before we were and will be here long after we're gone right? People draw inspiration from them and it enrichs their lives. Doesn't that make them real? Maybe more real than any of us. Just my thoughts.

Hi Tom,

Hi John. The book on James Kelly that you'll want is the one by Jim Tully, I believe it's Prisoner 1167: Was this Madman Jack the Ripper? I may have the prisoner number wrong. As for religious conspiracies, the most prominent is how the Catholics cover for their gay and pedophile priests, and have done so forever. Be sure to keep Christ and his message completely seperate from modern churches as there's very little the two share in common.

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

science versus religion

Hello David!

And if I remember correctly, the one by John is supposed to have been written pretty much later than the others!

All the best
Jukka

That's right Jukka, hence the debates before it has been evidently accepted. (That was an example of the "apocalyptic literature that flourished at the time.)

Amitiés,
David
