Do Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence?

[Jehanne]

Actually, claiming that something is false because it is old, or better because it is new; is a fallacy.

So you, too, think that Apollo is real because Homer discusses him in an old book of myth?  Maybe you should sacrifice a goat.  Apollo like that.  He may not shoot an arrow up your ass if you make a proper sacrifice.

Then again, you know those Greeks.

Oh, oh...here's some more!

Jesus and sacred sex. In modern novels (The Da Vinci Code!) Jesus is said to have had a sexual relation with Mary Magdalene. Even stranger tales of Jesus, Mary, and sex were told in ancient Gospels; by all counts the strangest was The Greater Questions of Mary, now lost but quoted once by an early Church Father. According to this tale, Jesus took Mary alone up onto a mountain, and as she watched, he pulled a woman from his side and began to have sex with her. What happens next is even stranger, as it involves a case of divine coitus interruptus and the consumption of semen. Mary, not surprisingly, faints on the spot.

I think that we should move this one over to Area 69!
