Atheism vs. Christ in Italy
« on: January 06, 2006, 01:08:05 AM »
This should be interesting:

Quote
An Italian court is tackling Jesus -- and whether the Roman Catholic Church may be breaking the law by teaching that he existed 2,000 years ago.

The case pits against each other two men in their 70s, who are from the same central Italian town and even went to the same seminary school in their teenage years.

The defendant, Enrico Righi, went on to become a priest writing for the parish newspaper. The plaintiff, Luigi Cascioli, became a vocal atheist who, after years of legal wrangling, is set to get his day in court later this month.

In other news, Pat Roberston says Sharon's stoke was divine retribution for dividing God's land.

I forget wich movie I saw this in recently:

A rabbi and a Preist were at a boxing match when one of the fighters made the sign of the cross on his chest before the match began.  The rabbi turned to the preast and asked "what's that sign supposed to mean"

The preist replied "nothing, he can't fight for *****"

Fizzle....



An atheist who sued a small-town priest for saying that Jesus Christ existed has had his case thrown out of court.
