    I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. It sounds like you're in so far that you'd probably have to start asking forgiveness now and not stop until the day you die just to get it all covered. :D

    Just kidding. I don't think there are any rules about not being able to cover multiple sins of the same nature with a blanket request for forgiveness. But.....I could be wrong. :)

    LOL Just about everything you've said there is the opposite of the studies I have read about it. Do you just make this crap up as you go or what?

    Of course there aren't. Can't you tell when someone is joking about something that everyone knows doesn't exist? But it's not a problem. Because there are no lists of people crucified by the Romans. Really! You're just full of BS.

    What an absurd statement. So if I don't believe in God, he doesn't believe in me? So that means 2/3rds of earthly humans are going to hell at all times. Thousands of people die every day, and most of them go to hell. It makes me sad that people believe this drivel.

    Being God fearing is no reason to believe.

  6. 1) So now you're proposing it's an burial shroud artifact of a space alein eh?
    nice theory

    2) That's a particularly absurd statement. How do you know that for CERTAIN?

  7. I happen to agree but ask me if I give a fuck if you believe or not.

    It ain't my problem and it's not my job to make you a believer.


    now you might find muslims a bit more insistent that you believe their way.

    I knew it was sarcasm. It is a problem however that there is no record, when there should be. But that of course is not definitive.

  9. No I've never had a Muslim knock on my door bugging me about Jesus or dominate the conversation at the coffee shop with their Jesus stories and come to church with me rants.
    But overall most of you Christians are much better than most of you Muslims.

    Above statements I've put in italics are incorrect. The piece tested, approximately 1 cm square, was from the main part of the shroud, not a repair.

    The previous carbon-14 dating was said to have resulted from contamination by others not associated with the dating. This is of course nonsense. The linen not contaminants was dated. The sample would have been thoroughly cleaned before counting. Three labs counted the sample and the results from all three agreed within the statistical error limit. The result was relatively inaccurate but not nearly so inaccurate as to allow the possibility of the shroud being the burial shroud of the Jesus of the Christian faith.

    Easter was approaching when you wrote the above; thus it is to be expected that "Shroud stories" would crop up in the everyday press, just as Santa sightings crop up on Christmas eve.

    The only way to get even remotely reliable information on matters such as this would be to go to the peer reviewed scientific literature. In all the media reports I did not see a single scientific literature reference. I strongly suspect that the folks at Padua were being quoted out of context.
