And hasn't the Catholic Church (along with everyone else) long since realised that the Shroud Of Turin is a big fat fake?

I'm sure we were taught that it was a lie. Pretty sure. Fairly sure.

TSN: As you posted, I was joking, period. There is nothing to find out; even the Catholic Church realizes the Shroud Of Turin is a fake.
As a Catholic I believe if I want to talk to God I can anytime; he is always listening. However, I probably would not do it in front of others as they might think I need mental help. And if I ever think the Almighty is talking back then I probably do need mental help.

I remember being shown a film about it in school. I don't recall exactly what grade. Would've been the early '90s, anyway. I don't recall any mention of its being fake, or even in dispute. But, then, I know I didn't listen too carefully. I remember coming away with the impression that they'd been talking about the story of Veronica wiping Jesus' face, rather than a burial cloth.

Back on track for a second, I'll give you the same advice I give every American who bitches about his country: 1) Best: Fix it. You live in a democracy. 2) Next: Move to Canada. We have our government well tamed - and one of our Prime Ministers said it best: "The government has no business in the bedrooms of the nation."

I've always subscribed to the theory that a people deserves the government they get.
And if they're not happy with it - overthrow it (by poll if possible - by revolution if necessary). Russians proved that the latter is possible. It's time that complaining Americans prove that their system works via the former. Because frankly, much as we love you guys (and some of my best friends are Americans) - we figure we took in our quota during the 'Nam draft.

Well, if Bush sticks around much longer, we'll see if you get a chance to overfill that quota.

So the half of the US that didn't vote for Bush also deserved the current government? As theories go, that one is pretty stupid.

There was a Timewatch or Panorama or something about it a few years ago. It has been pretty much proved as a fake, I think.

quote:Tenn. County Wants to Charge Homosexuals
Associated Press
DAYTON, Tenn. - The county that was the site of the Scopes "Monkey Trial" over the teaching of evolution is asking lawmakers to amend state law so the county can charge homosexuals with crimes against nature.
The Rhea County commissioners approved the request 8-0 Tuesday.
Commissioner J.C. Fugate, who introduced the measure, also asked the county attorney to find a way to enact an ordinance banning homosexuals from living in the county.
