So, apparently there's a cable TV documentary coming out that claims to present the tomb and bones of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. When asked about this, Rev. David Knapp of the Full Gospel Christian Center in Port Jefferson Station, New York had this to say:
"This is all hocus pocus. Jesus died and rose from the dead and left the tomb and went up to heaven."
As a non-believer, I find that quote very very amusing. Showing a box on TV is hocus-pocus, but convincing people that one person in the history of history was able to rise from the dead and then the entire mass of that person traversed space, unaided by machine, against gravity, is the most plausable explanation. I suggest to Rev. Knapp that he replace the first period with a colon, thusly:
"This is all hocus pocus: Jesus died and rose from the dead and left the tomb and went up to heaven."
