"And I come back to you now, at the turn of the tide"

Does this whole Jesus' brother's box thing seem a little too perfect to anyone else out there?

All that stock that the extra-chromosome crowd put in the Shroud of Turin (and some still do!), and then we find out it's only about 900 years old. Wait till the fervor dies down and serious scholars get a real look at this, rather than the "we found the three wise men in here too!" guys.

It's nice to see the Post referring to Josephus' work as evidence on Jesus, even though some of the things Xians have put in Josephus' mouth are hideously false, things that a Jewish historian certainly would not have said. And every time he is referred to as "Jesus of Nazereth", I laugh a little inside. (I'm in the not-sure-Jesus-ever-existed-at-all camp)

Did you know that Buddha's birth was supposedly witnessed by three wise men who brought gifts? Or that it was said that there were earthquakes upon the death of Confucius? Anyway...
