Christians everywhere awed by magical blanket, now with the image of Jesus. It is proof, proof I say of all the malarkey I have been force fed and child and led to believe. The CBC reverently intones:
“The Shroud of Turin, believed by many Christians to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ, went on public display Saturday for the first time in a decade.
Confirmation bias anyone?
Over the next six weeks, about two million people are expected to view the linen bearing the faded image of a bearded man.”
Oh fantastic. Sheeple to the ramparts, the magic cloth has arrived!
“Each visitor will be allowed five minutes to stand before the bulletproof, climate-controlled case containing the cloth inside northern Italy’s Turin Cathedral, where it has been kept for 500 years. In that time, the public has been allowed to view it on only five different occasions. The last time was in November, 1998”
And then the Jebus blankee along with the disney Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs go back into the vault. So do not delay!
“Pope Benedict XVI will visit Turin on May 2 to pray before the 4.3-metre-long, one-metre-wide shroud.”
2010. 21 century here, we really need to stop propagating foolish dangerous mythology.
