[IMC-Editorial] Regional celebrity applies science to spirituality/story idea

[sheelanagig at juno.com]

Personally, I do not need to be sent any future information on this, nor
do I think "proving the validity of the bible" belongs on indymedia, nor
will any legitimate newswire take this item....that is more for the
National Enquirer and the 700 Club...they are made for that kind of "hard
science/Christian propaganda" article. This article is laughable. I
cannot believe anyone sent this out. "His celebrity status?" Hmmm, that
is up for debate too...So, the first sentence of this email was "May I
send you more...?" My answer, and please note this, senders of the email,
is that no, I, do not want you to send me anymore of this type of "bad
science." I went to Catholic high school, I have already had enough of
this Christian propaganda. Let's get back to reality now.
