Iraqis celebrate shuttle tragedy.

Are you shocked? Seriously? 'Cause I'm more of the impression you're being fatous as a rfesult of your pride.

I imply nothing. You infer all. I didn't say anything about christ, I mixed a metaphor. The expression is "You wouldn't know ----- if it bled to death on your front lawn". The historical cause during crucifiction would depend on the method. A whole lot of people got crucified. Jesus, who you mention and I certainly did not, in all probability died of suffacation because his legs were broken to speed the process. Victims tied to a cross and not nailed, are as likely to die from exposure as from suffacation. Those nailed through the wrist (the commonly depicted hand nails will not hold a man's weight) were likely to bleed to death before suffacation. If it makes you happy, I'll concede that if the biblical depiction of the execution of Jesus is historical and his legs were indeed broken, he almost certainly suffacated. I hope this lengthy discourse on death by crucifiction in some way satisfies whatever part of you it was that thought there was some problem with my statement.


As to your comparison between separation from the divine and the endless experience of third degree burns, perhaps the one will distract you from the other. I hope for your sake God is not petty and human enough to enforce such a penalty.

If you mean, do I have absolute and unshakable faith in anything, than no, I do not. Only a fool defines faith as the lack of doubt. Let me reverse the charge and see if you'll respond, as I just did.

Do you, Naldo, hold any convictions whioch you doubt at all?
