I am boycotting DISCOVERY Channel!!!
Title: "The real Story of Jesus"
The program was laughable. An archaeologist actually proposed that the reason Jesus was not found in the tomb was because he was thrown in the dump!!! Or that vultures may have got him....C'Mon
The entire show was full of forensic pathologists etc. trying to debunk the miracle of ressurection.
I will say there were a couple of individuals that did try to attest to the validity of faith and how the miracle of resurrection cannot be understood without faith.
I'm just disgusted I guess...needed to vent. Such a poor witness to propose alternatives to truth.

Yes, although my reasons for believing that are probably different to yours.
If it helps, they had a program about a group of people trying (seriously) to find the freaking ark. They always have shows about people trying to prove the Bible, and they always fail or say "it's about faith."

How do you propose to go about doing that? It's my understanding that you pay for Discovery as part of a cable/satellite package, so you'd have to unsubscribe from the whole deal in order to do this effectively. (it's not much of a boycott, after all, if you stop watching but keep paying!)
Oh, and how does the bastard son of a carpenter, with no apparent means of support and executed as a criminal, get himself a big fancy tomb?
GOOD..Cretins shouldnt be allowed to be hosts on our discovery channel.
Just kidding, but how does it feel to have someone treat you the way you treat them?

YOU c'mon. By his story he was an enemy of the state...even criminals would have been left crucified, as an example and a deterrent, so...why would Jesus have been pulled down? Hmmm...? I'd think they'd want to make a BIG FAT EXAMPLE of him.

Well gee...considering that the only known case of it happening is chronicled in a poorly translated tome that can't agree with basic reality at the best of times...

Exactly. It is patently unprovable. So without admitting it has to be taken on faith...it falls apart.

Yes, how dare they look at something like that without the "PRAISE GOGGLES" on.
Jesus got resed because an ancient book that was mistranslated over the course of a few thousand years says so. Yeah, makes perfect sense.
Besides, resurrection is not such a big deal, just ask your friendly priest or druid and I'm sure they will be happy to help.

Boom-de-ada, Boom-de-ada, boom-de-ada, boom-de-ada.
I didn't have the chance to see that one on
Discovery.
The resurrection story wasn't written into the
Bible until around 1350.
The book of Mark, for example, used to end at
chapter 16 verse 8 until 1350 ce.
A pope at that time, I forgot which one, wanted
the story to continue and hired scribes/writers
to come up with it.
Oh, the Discovery Channel must be feeling soooo bad for missing your patronage. Or not...
So, only people of faith can find evidence for the ressurection, we others won't see it? Or what do you mean, exactly?
If you knew your history (which I doubt) you would know that criminals were not routinely buried. Like the successful suicidals who were thrown over the cemetary walls.

Wasn't there some rich dude at the crucifiction who said they could use his toomb?
Quote Melissa, or GodIsJust or whatever, on that thread:
my teacher said evolution WAS the truth; and he taught all of his students this.. It made me mad, it isn't the truth, has no basis at all. But yet they teach little kids this garbadge (sic)
I realy pitty you in the US who have to stand for this kind of garbage on a daily basis. Nobody but the most crazy fundies would dare to breach this subject here. The evolution IS the truth here. (Although, our government right now is making its best to turn us into Mini-USA, so maybe soon we'll have to defend science too).

Oh look, a RR groupie shutting off a potential source of information. We haven't seen that in, oh, five minutes now.
Because ressurection is so hard to debunk.
The Cartoon Network could do it, let alone the Discovery channel.
Haha. Jesus ascended bodily up to heaven = the buzzards ate him and flew away.
Then he had The Second Coming = he turned into buzzard shit, and returned to nature.
It all makes sense to me now.

'Trying '?! [/Spartan Laconic Wit] There's never been a single shred of extra-Biblical evidence to prove that this actual 'Jesus' even existed, but is merely a conglomeration of earlier, similar myths. And as for debunking the 'miracle' of Creation, I suggest you never click on [i]this[/i] if you know what's good for you, little Raptard.
