The Weird Phenomenon of Jesus Theme Parks

Who’d care enough to argue over it? Not me!

To further elaborate on my impression of the shroud, it sort of bothers me also that it is just a little too good and uniform, and second, that the image is a little too similar to what artists of that era and region used in depicting Christ. So, even without carbon dating and such, I would be skeptical just on the physical appearance and condition.

I’ve read about the bizarro relic cult. Martin Luther used to wonder why 18 of the 12 apostles are buried in Spain alone.

“Bizarro”? You haven’t seen “*Bizarro” until you’ve been to the British Museum. A look at modern veneration from the British Museum

You could probably get a degree in “Bizarro Relic-Veneration Practices” from Oxford or Cambridge if you were willing to expand your encyclopedic knowledge base a little bit.

Very classy reply.

Agree with you about the Museum of the Bible…It interested me enough that I got a hotel nearby so that I could go back and see the whole of it. As you know, hotels in DC are not cheap (!!!) but in this case so convenient. I also thought the Museum did well with the various exhibits – and noted, somewhere along the way in other reading — that they were credited for at least being up front and honest with those investigating the “artifacts.” Lesson learned for them, hopefully.
