Stupid things religious people say

[Fake Messiah]

And speaking about forgeries, Jesus’ crown of thorns has been returned to Notre Dame Cathedral. Not just that, but firefighters and police officers formed a human chain to rescue the Crown of Thorns from the blaze back in 2019.

Imagine risking numerous human lives to save a medieval forgery.

That's how it is with Catholics; although they know that something is forgery, it doesn't stop them from pretending and believing it's real. Nor does this Christian website mention that it is a forgery, but reads as it is a genuine crown and they even praise the fact that they paid for this forgery the amount of money they could have fed all starving people in Europe for at least a year.

PARIS (OSV News) — Firefighters and police officers formed a human chain to rescue the crown of thorns from the inferno at Notre Dame on April 15, 2019. On Dec. 13, 2024, this holiest relic of Paris’ cathedral was returned to its proper home on the Île de la Cité.

The crown of thorns, placed on Jesus’ head by his captors to cause him pain and mock his claim of authority, was acquired by St. Louis, then-King Louis IX of France, in Constantinople in 1239 for 135,000 livres — nearly half France’s annual expenditure at the time.

A crowd of faithful and curious onlookers gathered on the forecourt of the cathedral as the relic made its way to Notre Dame. Among them was Bénédicte de Villers, a 50-year-old woman who had come to do some Christmas shopping in central Paris. “I was not far away, and realizing what was happening, I took the Metro to come,” she told OSV News.

“Hearing the organ and the singing, I begged the security guards to let me in, explaining that I am a practicing Catholic, and that praying in front of Christ’s crown of thorns meant a lot to me,” she said. “I had already come to venerate it at Notre Dame during Lent.”
