When the Homily is about Immunology

Continuing on with Idle Talk

It's always the default answer isn't it? To assume that "religious images" and "traditions" are probably wrong. This aside, where's the beef in this article?

So, the Romans used numerous methods of Crucifixion, and in fact I believe it is the Mormons who believe Jesus was nailed to a pole. (but wait a minute...doesn't the latin of that term "crucifixion" IMPLY something with regard to two things crossing one another?)

But, the study says, these efforts have all been prejudiced by the automatic assumption, derived from religious images, that Jesus was crucified head-up.

Given the uncertainty as to exactly how he was crucified, the answer may only ever come if some new archaeological evidence or piece of writing emerges from the shadows of the past, it says.

Yes, by all means give no creedance to tradition handed down from those who witnessed the crucifixion or even the existance from the very earliest of Christian times of the symbol as we popularly know it today. What trite nonsense.
