Reply #54: I'm stuck between the Jesus Movie petition and The Missing Day. [View All]

[Liberal Veteran]

Since so much of my life centered around church as a child, I remember hearing all kinds of whackjob crap at church, most of which is still being passed around today.

There is the so-called missing day being discovered by NASA scientists and being traced back to a biblical tale, which logically makes no sense if you think about it.

The second is the petition which showed up in my church that said Hollywood was getting ready to make a movie portraying Jesus as...*gasp*...a HOMOSEXUAL! (insert scary music here) and I should sign it to stop them. That one has been going around forever too.

Both legends were soundly dismissed by my usual trip to the library.

I don't remember which one I heard first, but it was crap like that which started to make me question the church altogether. If they couldn't be trusted to present information that was real on those little things, why should I trust them on the bigger things?
