  In a related story, Michael Bay has uncovered a corpse in a Santa suit.

    I saw a little of this on Countdown last night, and the thing that strikes me about it is how people on both sides of the religious debate act as though, if true, this somehow disproves Christianity.  Now, I am not the least bit religious, but to me, this is a ridiculous notion.  It's like saying that discovering that the Earth is round disproved science.  In the words of Cenk Uyger, just calm down.

If you where into religion you would realize that the resurrection is the main tenet of Christianity. No resurrection . Well you can follow the thought process.

No Easter means no Mardi Gras no Carnival...no fun!

Mitch: [As the voice of Jesus] Hi Kent.

Kent: Okay, who is this?

Mitch: [As the voice of Jesus] This is Jesus. And you've been a very naughty boy.

Mitch: [As the voice of Jesus]Have you been touching yourself?

Kent: Yes. I mean, NO!

Mitch: [As the voice of Jesus] ...And from now on, stop playing with yourself.

 Kent: It is God!

were EMPTY coffins with names on them.

This is this smallest find since I found my cell phone yesterday.  Yawn.

BTW, Ken, is it spring in TX yet?  My friend goes to UT-Arlington and I was thinking of visiting him sometime in the next couple weeks.

History repeats itself ! You may to young to remember this fiasco..this was a Geraldo Rivera special... live no less....

"Geraldo Rivera had been fired in 1985 after criticizing ABCJohn F. Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe. He hosted the special, The Mystery of Al Capone's Vault, which was broadcast live on April 21, 1986. The two hour special (including commercials) was greatly hyped as potentially revealing great riches or bodies on live television. This included the presence of a medical examiner should bodies be found and agents from the Internal Revenue Service to collect any of Capone's money that may be discovered. When the vault was finally opened the only things found inside were dirt and several empty bottles including one Geraldo claimed was for moonshine bathtub gin. Despite the ending the special became the most-watched syndicated television special with an estimated audience of 30,000,000. Rivera later wrote of the event in his 1991 autobiography Exposing Myself that "My career was not over, I knew, but had just begun. And all because of a silly, high-concept stunt that failed to deliver on its titillating promise." The term "Al Capone's vault" has become slang for a heavily expected event with disappointing results.

"I can't pull up the data for March 1"

There are drugs you can take to correct that issue.

Well, if you're a believer, all this does is perhaps to make you re-evaluate the degree to which you take the resurrection literally.  If I believe in an all-powerful God, I have little trouble with Jesus' resurrection being a spiritual one rather than a physical one. 

    As a non-believer, this makes little difference.

If you believe in the infallibility of the Bible then you would have to believe that the resurrection was the resurrection  period.  The resurrection is the main tenet of Christianity and is not disputed or viewed as a " spiritual rising" by any faction.

I cant imagine anyone saying that if Jesus was not resurrected married and had a son it would have little effect on the religion.

by Left Is Right on 02/28/2007 01:49:04 PM EST

It could have a tremendous effect on religion, yes, but not on faith.  If you believe in something that can't be proven, how can it then be disproven?  If I believe that the Universe is surrounded by cotton candy, and you show me some telescopic picture of the black, void edge of the universe, I will simply conclude that the cotton candy is just beyond the range of your telescope.  And it's delicious.

You obviously have run out of anything cognisant to add . Expressing your opinion is great. It just doesn't have anything to do with how Christianity works.

The entire Christian religion . ALL of it ,be it Anglican, Catholic  , or other , is based on the belief that Jesus was killed on the cross and resurrected. 

That is an indisputable fact

Please prove that Muslims want to decapitate all non-Muslims.

Fine.  I can live with this.

First, this guy isn't from George Mason University.

He is from something called Georgia Perimeter University, no seriously.  I think K State has them as thier home opener in 08.

So when you say Muslim want to behead all non-Muslims you mean in exactly the same way that Jews believe in the laws of Leviticus or that Christians routinely handle deadly snakes as an expression of faith.  In other words, with the exception of a few nut jobs, not at all.  Do you ever read what you post as support?

It's wild.  I am starting to wonder if you can read at all.  What you said would also equate to saying Christians believe very literally in an eye for an eye, tooth for tooth or that if your brother dies you have to marry and impregnate his wife or that people must be stoned to death if they eat cheese with meat.  There are very small radical pockets who might think so, but the OVERWHELMING majority reject all this.

But as always, fuck the truth, there are ridiculous pointless argument to be won!

Get an 360, man, seriously.  It would be a much more appropriate outlet for your gamesmanship.  And you get to make up a cool name, I was thinking: PipelayingAdonis.  You like?

I agree, it is a fact that all Christians believe in the resurrection, and that all Christian doctrines that I know of interpret this as a physical resurrection, but I disagree that this is the central pillar of all Christian belief.  I also disagree that all individual Christians believe that it was definitely a physical resurrection, since I know many who either believe otherwise or are open to that idea. 
    You're also missing the larger point.  Trying to disprove someone's faith is just as silly as a person trying to prove their own faith.  It's FAITH.  By definition, it cannot be proven or disproven.

BTW, I think that "King of the World finds the King of Kings"  is a hilarious headline, and I can't believe Ben and Cenk didn't pick it up.  Proof they don't read the blogs.

by Homertojeebus on 03/09/2007 01:24:07 AM EST

From what I have read people are complaining the tone has changed. I guess that means that TYT are more liberal and less moderate than before? I am not to familiar with them. I have only been listening to them for about 3 months. I'm pretty sure they read some of the blogs because they have referenced this or that on the radio show.
