Who is this William Grassie? Is there a Christ Myther who delivers howlers like this that I didn't know? Zounds! I must be slipping.

What a bizarre article! Looking at his profile on The Huff, he seems to be one of these people who is obsessed with using the word 'science' to describe things that manifestly ain't, a bit like people who feel they have to call housewives 'domestic engineers'...

I also rather liked his phrase in the first paragraph "What I present is very much the academic consensus..." - dude, just say it's what you think and leave out the waffle...

There is some great stuff in the Huffington Post. If Grassie does not kill off Christianity then perhaps this will:

Vatican Requests 1,500-Year-Old Bible Held In Turkey
Today's Zaman reports that the Bible is under high security and that a Turkish daily newspaper, the Star, claims the book could be a copy of the Gospel of Barnabas -- a controversial text which some claim is an addition to the original gospels -- Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John -- that was suppressed.

In it, Jesus is said to have predicted the coming of the Prophet Muhammad.


There is nothing like a bit of Christian suppression whether it is the non-existence of Jesus, or his bloodline or his prediction of Mohammed!
