    On The Belief Of Christ

    Far be it for me to come along and make you believe in something that you've clearly consigned yourself into thinking is simply a fantastic poet and performer with regards to Jesus. It may interest you however to know , that the people working on the Shroud Of Turin Research Project included atheists and agnostics alike. One scientist who had come to the conclusion that the shroud was a fake, was shocked to discover that a couple from Kansas had stumbled upon the fact that the part of the shroud that was tested was a reweave done by French experts to repair the fire damage portions of the cloth. When he analyzed a small sample fiber he had kept , he discovered the same himself. Ultimately, this SOTRP scientist died from cancer as he was trying to get new testing done, but came to the conclusion that the shroud was not a fake. Another shroud scientist, an agnostic, came to see the unbelievable image of a man who had truly been tortured and had managed to leave a radiological imprint on a cloth that linen experts have already proven was a first century era fiber and weave used in Judea. I take it you're a proof is in the pudding gal, and need , like doubting Thomas, physical proof to rely on a faith, if any. Have a second look at the shroud of Turin and behold the single most unbelievable transferance of an image of a crucified man who wore a crown and had nails through his wrists and feet, a man I call my lord and saviour. Mohammed, by the way, was a ruthless warlord who raided villages and killed people. This is why the religion of peace can always justify it's violence in the name of it's prophet, it's prophet was a violent man. Not to mention a pedorast at best.
