I've presented lots of evidence...you just don't like any of it because it reminds you that you are lapsed Catholic who needs to go to confession.

You don't even manage this without copy pasting. You're just a copy paste person. Nothing original about you. At least you don't let us in on any originality surrounding yourself.

So once again - what's your goal? What's in it for you?

Right now, I still give you the benefit of the doubt, although the collecting brownie points with your god thought is very strongly pushing to the forefront. Can't be that or can it? Please tell me, we're still dealing with something remotely rational here.

I enjoy apologetics. I used to play chess, but this is more interesting and important.

Pretty impressive response, poca.

Not that I agree with your points, of course, but you get full props for actually addressing the material in SOME fashion.

Have you noticed that almost no one else does? You're better than this forum. I know you're a mod with certain bennies and status, etc. but you would benefit from changing to CAF. Seriously.

You're slumming here. This claptrap is beneath you intellectually.

And btw, Josephus was WAAAAAAAAY too removed. Really? Learn how professional historians think, okay?

Do you also believe that Apollo came down from Olympus shooting arrows at the Greeks because it says so in the Iliad?  If not, why not?  That is what the old book says and anyone who reads it will have to agree with what it said.

You are a blind fool, Randy.

You're a lapsed Catholic who desperately needs to go to confession.

Not fucking likely, is it?

I could never be sure that the fucking priest on the other side of the wall wasn't making some little kid blow him.

Comparing apologetics to chess is like comparing taking a shit to art. So, in short, it obviously is as bad as I feared.

And then scooping up said shit in one's hand and smearing it in everyone's faces, screaming about demons and gods and phantoms and geese and MI5.

Oh, for fucks sake. Have you ever been to the Catacombe dei Cappuccini in Palermo? I assume not, since you love your little assumptions from afar.



It all depends on the environment. That's nature for you. Nothing more, nothing less.

It is.

Precisely, Abaris. It's down to environment and methods of preservation, nothing else.

That image you posted is the best preserved corpse on earth. To this day nobody has been able to replicate the exact formula used during Rosalia's embalming and despite her incredible lifelike appearance I am yet to see a case be opened for her sainthood.

You do also know right that Catherine Laboures face is wax right? I honestly don't know about the Cure D'Ars or Terese but it's something I can look into.



Well preserved for a few ten thousand year old corpse right?

We do confession face to face now, Min. It's been awhile for you, hasn't it? Time is running out...
