    I am a Christian OK. I'm really nervous when many extreme Christians, or fanatics for that matter will try to use the Shroud of Turin as proof for anything Who isn't except the nuts?

    The earth is really only about 4000 years old Prove it without the Bible.

    the anti-Christian crowd just won't seem to accept this fact Why didn't you mention non-Christians?

    Many of these folks would have love to discredit the shroud The Shroud makes no more of a statement than my Buddha statue.

    Just my two cents Ssshh. IRS maybe on here.

    Benefits of clong Jesus:

    1) It proved that Jesus would return and Evangicals would expect to go to Heaven as Bush launched the national nuclear weapons stockpile onto the world.

    2) Jesus clone would learn the Bible and tell Evangicals and those they support are not true Christians, excommunicate them, and set Christianity back on track. Then nuke the world.

    Either way, we're dead. Assuming Jesus could return and doesn't, with Evangicals in office they may become scared and nuke the world for not being Evangical and preventing Jesus' return. No matter what, we'll all die.

    If Christians hate sin and not the sinner, why all the anger at people that have different beliefs and lifestyles from you? Why get upset over science when it might prove some belief in a book you read? WHy be so angry all the time at those that you view as evil, godless, baby-killing, collee educated liberals?

    Had to get that out. I live in KY.

    How is a scientific theory a cult? It's not belief, it's based on evidence. I never could understand why some freaks get science and religion confused. Is it ignorance or fundamentalist thought?

    How are the Gospels evidence? For evidence of god, we need to look at relaity. God is subtle and I have had experiences that would lead me to believe in god. I'm a Buddhist though so the gospels isn't evidence, just text. That's why I prefer BUddhism, everything is based on experience not some text. Buddhism does have texts but hey some could be wrong though.

    No reason or the Bible. What makes you think the Bible explains it? There are other religious texts too and they claim the samething. I think we hae a purpose in the universe but we don't know it and we're better off not knowing (since we might decide not to be part of that plan).

    I know that I have not heard anyone accuse those who oppose the war against radical Mohammedanism of being unpatriotic. Stupid, yes. Short-sighted, yes. Foolish, yes. Idiotic, yes. But not unpatriotic.

    I was all for the War on Terrorism before it was abandoned for the Iraq war. It's unpatriotic to declare war on our enemies and then attack a nation's leader we dont like. What about terrorists? They haven't attacked us but maybe they knew we'd be divided over time on this issue. Something to think about.

    It is. However, competition is good. Only the best continue. My biz is about dead from competition since I'm one of dozens of freelance PC repair guys. I am upset, somewhat. But it does mean the better guys are making money and if they expand, others that tried and failed might get a job. Sounds weird but maybe a biz failed since a PC guy doesn't know biz well enough and doesn't know the basics but knows PCs well enough.
