It's obviously a fake. I don't know why people get excited about it.

It's obviously the real burial shroud of Christ. You'd have to be a numbskull to doubt.

There are too many unanswered questions for me to be convinced that it's fake.

I really thought it may be real until they did the carbon dating. Now I'm not sure.

Until they dated it I thought it was real, now I know it's not.

Carbon dating sucks. It has no sway over my belief or lack thereof in the shroud's authenticity.

There are people again calling into question the radio carbon dating used on the Shroud of Turin.
Now it doesn't matter to me one way or another, faith wise, if this was the burial cloth of Christ. If they prove conclusively beyond a doubt that it is not, I won't lose any sleep over it. I don't think they can really prove that it was, because even if they conclusively prove that the cloth came from the right time period and area, there is no way I know to prove that the blood came from Christ.
Still, it's interesting to follow.

I said carbon dating sucks, which is just my belief in general.

As for the shroud, since when does someone's face leave a mark on your clothes? confuse.gif Personally, I think it's fake. I think the Marys got the clothes and kept them on their way to France to have the baby Sarah... oop, is that the DaVinci coming out?

It is a fake, but the allure of money is enough for the unscrupulous to take advantage of the gullible.

On a different note, we are fortunate that the scientific foundation of carbon dating isn't cocobeem's opinion, but rather hard evidence.
