I was watching MSNBC this morning and they were covering the fire at Notre Dame Cathedral, and they talked about how the crown of thorns that Jesus wore was saved from destruction..... This is an example of how we have lost our way; this relic (which from pictures appears to not even be organic), was created by the Catholic Church and first appeared about 1000 years ago, and was intended to elevate the level of superstition and devotion that was being offered to the faithful......This church and the religion it is based upon is nothing but lies and superstition, and contains very little objective truth. Losing this old building is a tragedy, but it should not be used to reinforce a belief system that is corrupt and needs replacing.

We are so blessed to live in a time that religious beliefs are so tainted that we can believe in Zombies and angles as real reality!
No wonder moronic idiot sociopathic psychopaths like trump and his Fascists republicans have followers!
These people want to be part of the elites that they worship!
They always feel they are being protected by them, in reality they are being robbed blind and given a bill of health with an early death without a program!
LMAO!

I completely agree! I want be surprised when out of the blue...a vile of Jesus’s urine, shows up...these people are believers!!! Just report it from the Church, by the ‘Holiest of Holys,’ and they are off on their ‘magic carpet!’

@LimitedLight We fight the theories, the untruths, the government's use of religion in our lives, the brainwash of children and many other ways. It is a movement. Know that the atheism has the 3rd largest following after Christianity and Islam. This was unthinkable just 5 years ago. One day we will have atheist heads of states in the world, This is how religion gained a grip over societies - Gain state sanction for their spreading..The nonbeliever movement is growing but we have long ways to go. We are fighting thousands of years of untruths and brainwash deep rooted in the minds in the society. One day all religious education and trickle downing of it in all walks of life will diminish and stop. North European nations like Sweden, Finland and Denmark have less than 5% religious people and are considered to be happier societies than others.
Those items happened to be in a safe @ the time.
I think most people accept that these so-called relics are not original, just inspired by the original item.

@LimitedLight yes. The believers do think there were originals
The crown of thorns relic is made of gold. Asinine to believe it's real.

I had heard about saving it but not that it covered in gold. Thanks.
Lies and corruption.
You've got to thank them for their consistency. At least we know what to expect.
