Seriously?
You expect people to watch an hour long video presentation?
Can't you reference one part of one video and go from there?




Whatevs.

Look, if your Jesus was the only guy who ever had a beard and happened to be the tallest man alive 2000 years ago; than maybe I would consider the legitimacy of the shroud a few moments before I laughed and walked away shaking my head.


... but alas you leave me with only the option to face-palm immediately and never return to this thread.

The shroud is absolute proof of the existence of the Shroud - but not much more than that.

Well, it's evidence of a shroud-maker I suppose, which creates the very telling question of why someone had to make it. Especially if all this evidence is so obvious.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

The shroud was debunked ages ago. Shit, I thought everyone got that memo.

My thoughts? Radiometric dating is a real bitch for the devout.

Oh they got the memo but it is inconvenient so they disregard it. "Faith" works that way.

Yeah, I remember back in the 80's when the shroud was dated to around 1100 CE or so. All the Christians were running around saying "Carbon-14 dating isn't reliable! It doesn't work!"

Before the OP calls RationalWiki a "dumb source that doesn't make any sense" perhaps you should read it, especially this part:

Quote:No examples of complex herringbone weave are known from the time of Jesus when, in any case, burial cloths tended to be of plain weave. In addition, Jewish burial practice utilized — and the Gospel of John specifically describes for Jesus — multiple burial wrappings with a separate cloth over the face:
“”Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie, And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself...
—John 20:1:6, King James Version

Even the bible disproves the shroud as being real.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

Ok, so you have a relic that supposedly legitimizes your religion. Now I have a question. What do you think of the other religious relics from around the world? Like the Buddha's fottprints or the Cloak of the Prophet, do those relic legitimize those religion?
