The shroud of turin

[Brian37]

Bullshit. OP!

The claim of the bible is that a magic man, magically survived getting nailed to a cross, had all the blood drained out of  his body, left to die.

NOBODY can survive the torture/death as the death myth of the bible implies.

Which has got nothing to do with whether the Shroud is genuine.

The "Shroud" is as real a s Stephen King and George Lucas as to their own imaginations.

The only "history" is in that someone claimed it. I think Stephen King and George Lucas are lagit movie makers.

I smell desperation.

Did you hear? They've found Noah's ark (again).

You're starting your defense of the Shroud of Turin by talking about blood stains... when Jewish custom was (and still is) to cleanse bloodied bodies before burial. And bodies don't bleed after death.

It's also worth noting that the type of herringbone weave in the Shroud is unheard of in textiles in First Century Israel , especially in burial shrouds. In addition, it's been tested multiple times and tested as being from the medieval era.

While there was a relatively recent claim that fibers from the cloth have been dated to between 280 BC and 220 AD (by Giulio Fanti), it's not taken seriously, partly due to the lack of peer review, partly because they used methods (Spectroscopy and infrared dating) that aren't suited for ancient objects, and partly because there's no guarantee that the fibrils tested are even from the shroud. It's not even taken seriously by the custodians of the fucking shroud. To quote Archbishop Nosiglia, the official custodian of the Shroud, "As there is no degree of safety on the authenticity of the materials on which these experiments were carried out [on] the shroud cloth, the shroud's custodians cannot recognize any serious value to the results of these alleged experiments."

TL;DR: The Shroud of Turin is a lot less meaningful method of "proving" Christianity than it might seem at first glance.

Bodies don't bleed after death?

Are you high? Or just ignorant?


Gravity, son.... Gravity.


I have a big drip tray I put under the deer I butcher and hang in my walk in cooler.

They only quit dripping blood if I run the compressor too long and turn them into a Deersicle....

It was a forgery, actually very well made, what the forgers didn't know was that radiometric dating existed, just wasn't discovered at the time.

I know the Shroud isn't genuine.  But whether Jesus survived the crucifixion has no bearing on whether the Shroud is his burial cloth.

The "image" doesn't fit a head. It's a portrait, not an impression.

Fuck the shroud of turin. Bring me the four heads of John the Baptist!
