Yeah, I know what I'm doing. And I'm writing about it. Right. Write.

Deadlines, Perhaps?

To Jerome C. Pandell, author of the Daily Northwestern's review of "The Passion of the Christ":

The Shroud of Turin is a shroud, i.e., a cloth one wraps a body in, not a veil one uses to wipe a face. It also clearly shows a full body, not simply a face. Veronica's veil is a different (but probably similarly questionable) relic. Tsk, tsk.

Also, the devil isn't just a Christian idea. In the Book of Job, Satan tests Job's ability to continue to honor God in the face of enormous adversity. It's true that in Christian tradition the devil has come to take on more attributes than his role as temptor in the Bible, but it's not like the idea didn't exist for thousands of years.

I'm coming to the conclusion that when it comes to religion -- even your own religion -- no one really knows what they're talking about.
