How are the edited logs of Mathew, Mark, Luke or John, Peter and Paul from 2,000 years ago, a bunch of weirdos in a desert, any more important, relevant, awe inspiring, informative, educational, morally correct, philosophical or interesting, than the edited troll logs of F2 from 3 years ago?
Its all just words on a screen, right? It’s all just words carved into a stone in the desert, right?

believers would still choose to ignore the facts rather than except that their faith, time, reading, was all in vain, therefore making their beliefs totally self serving,
It is not possible to discuss, let alone discuss civilly, with someone whilst the sanctimonious and pious are envisioning angels, hearing the clarions, the dervishes are whirring away and the mantra has become droningly monotonous. Ah, you’ve finally taken a break from banging your head against the wall and reciting huge swathes of Timothy and Matthew to yourself. And anyone else that will listen.
The wounds in the image are consistent with Roman crucifixion in general, and Jesus’ crucifixion in particular…scourging, crown of thorns, no broken bones, and the wound in the side. The Shroud image also depicts nailing through the wrists, vs. the common, but incorrect, depiction of nailing through the hands.
Option A, a total freak, one off freak. We have all seen a cloud that has a face in it. A funny shaped leaf, that looks like a face, I have seen a face in steam on a window. The ancients looked up in the sky and saw hunters, bears and dogs, and all sorts of things amongst the stars. Occasionally a carrot look just a penis. In other words, an old rag with a few stains on it, that look like a face.
Option B, the result of a Middle Ages science experiment or kinky sex game that went wrong, whereby a man was soaked in a concoction of cats pee, goat sweat and pigeon poo mixed with ammonia and camels blood and tiger sperm. He was then wrapped in an old bit of cloth for some reason, he might have been dead. It stained the cloth and left an imprint.
Option A or B?
Okay okay it might be a bit far fetched but it’s still a lot more plausible than
Option C, some bloke called Jesus who may or may not have even existed left his imprint on the cloth after being wrapped in it because its all magic, and he is the son of God so he can do anything, even perform miracles.

When’s your birthday? I’d like to buy you a present, a megaphone.
