Note the key words and phrases here"


"We have found a holy thing in a chest. It is a piece of a cross, and we think it was [part of the cross on which Jesus was crucified]. This stone chest is very important to us. It has a history and is the most important artifact we have unearthed so far".

The most important words in his statement are "WE THINK" so until there is definitive proof all we are still left with is faith and hope for the masses.


Every now and then we see headlines of the discovery of one or more important religious relics. From Noah's ark to Jesus tomb, from king Davids' palace to Jesus shroud, and now today, we have the announcement of the discovery of the piece of the cross of Jesus. lol

For a dying religion that is based on blind faith, all these supposed discoveries are always attempts to energize the base,kick start the revival.
It is supposed to be historical equivalents of Red Bull drink.

But unfortunately, these supposed archeological discoveries are usually done by groups that are either inspired by religious groups , or by groups with a vested political or religious interests.

Their finding , unfortunately, always and always fall flat on peer review.

What these people always fail to realize is that humanity has grown up and matured beyond that point where our primitive superstitions can be jump-started and energized again by such disguised acts of pious fraud.

If you don't have any important thing to post on NL, I suggest you go back to the village and farm.

And what makes you think I am not already in my village farming?

I guess A village farmer like me is forbidden from posting on this your Ivy league Nairaland Forum?

And when did farming in the village become a non-respectable occupation?

I guess pious christians like you do not eat food grown in village farms, or that the food that you eat everyday is flown in from heaven, ?

Mo.ron.
