Silent Servants...

... of the Used, Abused, and Utterly Screwed Up.

A Secular Franciscan looks at the world...
with a more jaundiced eye than ever...

Everyone loves a mystery


Shrouded in mystery

"A conference at Ohio State this weekend will present new research on the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin. Most participants are believers, but a few skeptics will take part."
The 'proof' either way is still mostly inconclusive, from what I've read. Each theory has its critics. It doesn't matter. If people choose to believe, then why stop them? It's no more harmful for people to believe this than to believe that they have any chance of winning a lottery, but no one tries to stop them from buying lottery tickets...
