'Jesus-era' burial shroud found

Addendum...
If someone is without spirituality/religion, they are pragmatic like ants and emotionally deep like elephants. However, it is easy to see the limitations of such creatures. As we have fewer limitations than these, some reasonably have hope for progress away from the limitations of mankind.

Those who forget the opposite of Pride and Chaos are prideful like the men of law and power who forget the weak and poor or they are chaotic like the men of ignorance and hate who forget the consequences of manifesting such things, or they are both. Those who are both are regarded as worse than those who are one or the other. But One is regarded above all, that is OrderCharity.

Only the movement from below (the Breath of Life/Soul - Spiritual Order) that is one with the movement from the unseen (the Comforter/Spirit - Spiritual Charity) is eternal. Only the flesh from below (the created things/Impermanent Man - Physical Order) that is one with the flesh from the unseen (the first anointed brother who is referred to as Christ/Permanent Man - Physical Charity) is eternal.

For there to be debate in this world about basic principles of what makes man shine so bright is depressing so many years after my brother has left. As His death was, so will be the life of His brethren. But for those whose life crushes others (all religions at some point, but more so Christians, Atheists, Catholics, Muslims, Hindus, etc.), your lack of hope is manifest. And for those whose life only seeks obtainment (all religions at some point, but more so Mystics, Buddhists (through the inverse), Spiritualists, Pagans, etc.), your lack of hope is manifest. There are only two kinds of people, those with hope, and those without hope.

Where there is Pride, hope diminishes. Where there is Chaos, hope diminishes. Where there is OrderCharity (Understanding and Manifestation), hope is evident.

Could this be the real shroud belonging to the unreal Jesus?

No. If we go a little bit past the quoted portion, which even indicates that the cloth wasn't found in the right place as Jesus' tomb, we read:

The researchers believe the man was a Jewish high priest or member of the aristocracy who died of leprosy, the earliest proven case.

So, the person was a priest. Jesus wasn't. Case closed.

I see nothing has changed at ATS...

Lets talk about any subject apart from if it includes God..then it is allowed to drift miles off topic and turn into nothing more than abuse and belittling of believers.

heres a tip if you dont believe in God...don't read or better still dont post your dribble....
I might make it my goal and go phishing to stir and to answer every non God thread with a needless debate in to why anyone who doesnt believe in God is a fool regardless of the actual thread topic.
