Recently i have been becoming more and more interested about the stuff in the bible i never heard about as a kid. I recently read about the Spear of Longinus, and i thought it was pretty interesting. It would be so unbearably cool if a spear that stabbed a guy (who may or may not have been a holy dude/son of god) way back some 2000 years ago and retained some of his blood/flesh was still around today. Apparently there are two current ones, the one in Vienna seeming to be the most authenticated one. Something that some of the most important people in history have all owned may be on display in a museum in Italy. That is so fucking cool it hurts. I liked the one Winston linked to about the cup of recurring flesh and blood, too, that one was neat.

Anyway, does anyone else know of any sort of religiously-tied sorta history/mythology stuff like that? It's super-interesting, i'd like to know more about this stuff. :o

The Ark of the Covenant may be in Ethiopia. I recently saw a special on the discovery channel that showed new evidence that the claim may be true.

Saint Christopher: The Werewolf Saint

Anything specific that you want to know? I'm quite knowledgable about Judeo-Christian legends/myth/apocrypha, and those are just two that happened to come to mind.

This will never be settled, but: Jeanette, is the REAL Holy Grail (the one everybody keeps finding in religious fiction) the cup Christ used in his "body/blood" speech at the Last Supper, or the one that they caught his blood in during the Crucifixion?

And what about the Shroud of Turin? What's the current consensus on that?

I was under the impression that the Ark of the Covenant was in Iraq( no it wasn't Rummsfield who told me that).

And anybody ever read Holy Blood Holy Grail? I did a couple term papers on the Templars and found it. Its not too convincing but does have some real creative stories.

Both, I believe.

Most of the scientific community believes that it is a medieval fake, but it is still being studied and debated. A good many Christians think its the real deal.

Saint Christopher RULES. D

I'm just intertested in stuff in general like that, all the kinds of weirdness stuff. Have any sites that cover lots of different things like that stuff?

Here is some non-canonical Old Testement and New Testement books. That should probably keep you busy for a while.
I'll get back to you with more tommorow, right now I'm going to bed.
P.S.: St. Christopher does indeed rule. I'm going to perhaps use the story as source material for a Werewolf: The Apocalypse game. Should be fun.

The Ark is in a crate in some U.S. bunker warehouse, and the Holy Grail fell into a crack when that German chick tried to leave the temple with it.

I kinda want to make an incredibly cheesy B-horror movie about Saint Christopher ripping out people's throats... FOR THE LORD.

He'd be wearing the robes and everything, but underneath he would be wearing sneakers in plain sight.

I think ol' Christopher is a crock of shit. Certainly this werewolf aspect is.

Christian Symbolism from A-Z. Some of what the author writes is antagonistic to other religions or irrelevant altogether, but most of it is interesting.

The spear of Longinus sounds like something you would stick in a woman's pussy

And you do have to wake up pretty early in the morning to fool me, because I like to state the obvious. It just makes the experience much more satisfying for everyone.

Change woman's pussy to a boy's ass and you have something that Protoclown knows all too well.
