Sam Harris puts the Pope in his crosshairs

If the Pope had any credibility left…..
…he just blew it. Over the weekend the Pope prayed in front of the infamous Shroud of Turin, a thoroughly debunked relic (but interesting bit of artwork nonetheless). Apparently there’s some significance to Ratzinger calling it an “icon” rather than … Continue reading

Pope Combats Fraud (Cancels Out Self?)
