Quote:No, sorry, The Crown of Thorns is not like documenting Mount Vernon or George Washington.

No one said it was.

 
Quote:The crown of thorns STORY is older than the relic claimed. And that is the point. The story came first, the relic came centuries after. Easy to manufacture a prop after the legend is told. 

We've been through this before - you don't know, you can't possibly know, when the Crown was made.

Quote:We don't have to rely on second hand stories about George Washington. And nobody sane today buy's the Cherry Tree mythology. 

Utterly irrelevant.

Quote:The "crown of thorns" motif is a result of the age of kings. It wasn't because an actual guy named Jesus existed. It was because religions were competing in an age of kings, and the early Christians marketed both their stories and relics to sell a new religion, IN AN AGE OF KINGS.

Define 'Age of kings', please.  There have been kings throughout human history, including the present. And if Christians were trying to sell their 'new' religion, wouldn't they have done the relic making in the first century?

Quote:Religious relics are made and sold like stage props in a magic show. It does not matter if the prop itself is real, nobody literally saws the woman in half.

But SOME relics are undeniably genuine. 

What's all this got to do with the Ark?
