The Shroud Of Turin

April 29, 1998 | Issue 33•16

On public display for the first time in 20 years, the Shroud Of Turin—believed by millions to be Christ's burial shroud, despite being carbon-dated to the Middle Ages—is once again a hot topic of debate. What do you think?

Wimpy Guy

Ricky Allen,
Civil Engineer
"Christ's burial cloth? Give me a break. It looks like some stinky hippie used the good towels."

Girl With Glasses

Linda Flynn,
Chiropractor
"Whether or not the face on the Shroud is truly that of our Lord, no man—except, of course, a trained scientist using radiocarbon dating—can say."

Guy With Sunglasses

Lawrence Kingman,
Systems Analyst
"The 'Members Only' insignia on the left breast should be proof enough that the Shroud is fake."

Blonde Girl

Stacie Mazzilli,
Hairstylist
"I'm not traveling all the way to Italy to see the Shroud Of Turin when we've got the world's largest ball of twine right here."

Minority Guy

Josh Taveras,
Security Guard
"That's nothing, man. I have Jesus' actual autograph. He signed my Bible at GodCon '97."

Other Guy

Chad Swan,
Plumber
"You know those scientists who debunked the Shroud? They're all going to hell."
