shroud of turin

[joggerjayne]

So it's obviously a fake.

We're not sure how, or precisely when ...

... but we know, sure as heck, that it's not 2,000 years old.

So, it's a fake.

But hundreds of thousands of people flock to Turin Cathedral every year to revere it.

So these people ...

Are they allowed to vote?

To sit on Juries?

Should they be allowed to project their bizarre notion of reality into real life?

Would you like to be tried by a Jury of people who believed that fairy tales were true, and who based their lives around them?

Should I have posted this in religion and been torn to shreds?

JJ, I'm sure they'll be very lenient on you x

JJ

Think of the precedent removing them would set. How about astrology, aromatherapy, homeopathy, etc? Who would be left?

[joggerjayne]

Me.

[scotman]

and me!

I cut open a Grapefruit this morning and saw the face of David Guest...

[steg]

i'm sure i read that the bits that they took test samples from, were later found to be repaired bits of the shroud

[joggerjayne]

[joggerjayne]

No, I'd get savaged.

Where do you draw the line? What about people whose favourite TV programme is Big Brother? Or Eastenders? Or what about people who read The Sun?

[joggerjayne]

People who watch Big Brother should not even be allowed to use sharp objects without supervision.

As to Eastenders ...

Hmm ... if whatshername Mitchell went upstairs at The Vic at 8pm on a Monday night, and switched on the telly, what would come on ?
