I made Vorlie go ewww! This has been a good day!

Actually rik's question put me in mind of a letter in Viz a while back. Something like [with my annotations] "I'm starting to get into [popular soap opera] Coronation Street [running for the last 57 years and counting]. Can anyone bring me up to speed with the plot so far?"

St Thomas, one of the twelve disciples of Jesus, arrived at Muziris in present-day Kerala state in India from the Roman province of Judea in A.D. 52 and preached between A.D. 52 and A.D 72, when he was martyred on St. Thomas Mount.

Did you read this far...

Quote:"According to Indian Christian traditions..."

Are these the same sort of Christian traditions that claim a three hour solar eclipse?

Nah - even the Indians weren't that stupid.

I am sure that LR will back up his statements with clear evidence, indubitably peer reviewed, LR has a long history of evidenced discussion, and has always admitted when he was wrong.. Such an honest interlocutor will no no doubt never disappoint.

Quote:Authority for the St. Thomas tradition of Kerala Christianity, i.e. its historicity, is a
matter of dispute among the historians, to a great extent, for want of sufficient, direct
archaeological evidences or backing of contemporary written documents. There are a good
number of Historians and writers, from all over the world, are questioning the Indian
apostolate of St.Thomas and the validity of the arguments of its proponents. There is no
contemporary evidence showing that Thomas had been in the subcontinent,

Try to get it through your thick fucking head that we have no evidence that jesusism even existed in fucking Rome in the mid first century.... let alone fucking India.

Quote:As I have listed above, all the three main claims made by Christians in Kerala about the presence of St.Thomas here between C.E 52–72 are contradicted by historical facts . So either , he has never come here and even if he has , he could not have done what current Christians believe he has done. My personal opinion is that based on historical evidence, the chances that St.Thomas would have visited Kerala in C.E 52 is almost nil.

Fuck you.


Your next problem is to demonstrate that there was a "St Thomas" at all.  As there is no evidence for fucking jesus it naturally means that he didn't need any Merry Men, either.

That is bizarre Min.

Despite all churches build on his name and despite his tomb there in south India he never existed.  

Obviously some aliens from a far away planet went in south India and pretend to be the apostle Thomas.  

Gee, I never thought about that Min.
Maybe ideas born down in the sewer where you exist may have some value.  


Oh, by the way Min you remember when you said that the Nestorians spread Christianity in India?
I am still waiting for the evidence.
Please don't hurry Min, I can wait until Christmas for that.

Does the existence of the Parthenon make Athena exist?

Does the existence of Disneyland make Mickey Mouse exist?

(Oh, and what is it with you and those stupid fucking avatars in every post, Rik?  What are you, five years old?  Or did you colour so badly in kindergarten that you developed a pathological craving for stickers on your work?)

Gee, Ast, you are not listening, do you?  

Didn't I explained to brother Min that it was the aliens from an other planet that came in south India and spread the Christianity?  
One of these funny people pretend to be the apostle Thomas.  
I don't really understand why they did so but this is the real story.  
Giacomino the elf told me so and believe me Giacomino is always right.
