Good News and Bad News


There is good news about the Shroud of Turin in this video:

There is bad news about some Protestant souls in this comment from the live chat:

My Protestant father says it can’t be real because there shouldn’t be any physical proof of the resurrection because it would nullify the need for faith and that it’s not m how God operates.


That Protestant father was a Fideist. Probably a Kantian as well.

Fundamentalists are not Fideists. We give proof, and even if we know some Atheists will reject it, we do consider the proof as proof and also as not taking away from the merit of faith.

Believing that God (exists, has created a few thousand years ago, has raised Jesus from the dead) is susceptible for proof. It is also not the faith that believes in God, putting one's trust and goal in Him. It's just a prolegomenon to it. And a useful one.

The idea of Fideists that God:

  1. wants the faithful to believe everything with no proof for anything
  2. and therefore provides no cogent proof


leads to ex-Fideist Atheists who conclude from there (supposedly) being no proof.

There is also sometimes an alliance between the two for combatting the Christians (Catholic and Protestant Fundamentalists) who do try to provide the proof we consider as readily available.
