"no wonder longnshort and greg almighty are always talking about NAMBLA." And the BUMSTER! Good article about the naked boy and Jesus. Apparently, spending the night (or three!) naked was an initiation rite! WHATEVER! Just too stupid to discuss! We should humour superstitious Nims with discussion of these things??

"no wonder longnshort and greg almighty are always talking about NAMBLA. It appears they're charter members..." They brought it up. But it is their business if they are Queer and gay in that way. They merge their posts so that tells us where they are coming from? Good luck to them. I support them. They (Brum, Eeeek, and Long-Nose) can love whom they choose...

"Most scholars however see the so-called Secret Gospel as a modern hoax." It was forged by a gay atheist. No kidding. ..... Mar Saba is a Greek Orthodox monastery overlooking the Kidron Valley in the West Bank east of Bethlehem. In 1973 Morton Smith published a book in which he claimed to have discovered a previously unknown letter of Clement of Alexandria (c.150 - c. 215) while cataloging documents there in the summer 1958. .... Scholars such as Philip Jenkins and Robert M. Price pointed out parallels between The Secret Gospel of Mark and a novel by James H. Hunter published in 1940 entitled The Mystery of Mar Saba. [10] Craig A. Evans (2008) concludes that "The upshot of the whole matter is that Smith's Mar Saba Clementine is almost certainly a hoax and Smith is almost certainly the hoaxer. No research into the Gospels and the historical Jesus should take Smith's document seriously." [11] Evans also notes that unusually the copy of Voss' edition of Ignatius had the note "Smith 65" inked into the copy, and there was no record of it having been in the library's catalogue before. ...... en.wikipedia.org
