[lbo-talk] Jesus didn't exist....

[Mike Ferro]

Gee whiz! I thought that the "authenticity" we were talking about had to do
with Jesus himself, not just any old historical (or ecclesiastical) body. I
recall also that the supposed "blood" marks on the shroud were shown not to
be of that peculiar substance.

Particularly humorous and/or revolting at the time of my viewing of the
shroud display was the enthusiastic spiel of my docent in the church in
describing in abundant detail the scientific studies that had been made of
the physiology and psychology of the torture of crucifixion.
