    Merely a vehicle to describe Catholic Priests as paedophiles. It's a leap even for Billy, but probably the best he could come up with at short notice.

    Well really, put a bit of effort in.

    TV documentary re 10 year old discovery of tomb containing people, maybe called by very common names at the time. To Catholic Priests are paedophiles in a couple of sentences.

    It's a bit obvious, mate. At least try to make sense.

    This was a news piece, posted today, about a doco soon to be aired.

    However common the names, what's the chances of a 'Jesus' and a 'Mary Magdelene' being found together?

    The comment about paedophile priests is a fair one, if the church collapsed the paedophiles would have no-one to protect them, I'm surprised you have a problem with that.

    A leap of faith indeed that a documentary will dismantle the RC Church (or indeed any Christian Church) For the faithful there is a certain pride in believing 10 impossible things before breakfast and dismissing an archaeology programme hardly even counts as one of those.

    The documentary, if scholarly rather than sensationalist, will be interesting (as long as there is no bleeding Celine Dion ) but I can't see too many faltering on the way to Mass because of it - even if the thesis of the documentary is 100% spot on.

    According to the da vinci code, jesus and mary had a daughter, so this is all bollocks if you ask me.

    On the other hand I think I can see why the Vatican had concerns

    Even if this really is the final resting place of jesus what significants will this have? you will often find people seem to be completely unopen to any discussion on their 100% right and perfect religion even when undeniable proof is staring them in the face.

    The earth really is only 6000 years old not 4.5 billion and dinosaurs where put there by the devil. to alot of christians this is fact and will never change.

    what exactly do you expect this find to change in these people? do you expect christians to suddenly think one minute if jesus never went to heaven then maybe the religion i base my life around that actually gives existence some kind of meaning for me is probably wrong?

    20 years ago; I believe it was discovered in the 1980s.

    things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
    so, he does
    the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
    and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
    the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
    and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
    the germans are like "wtf, h4x"
    -- WW2 for the l33t
