The antics of JC's followers in 2005, a round up from Harper's Magazine:

Jun 18 A nun in Romania, undergoing exorcism, died after she was tied to a cross, gagged, and left alone for three days in a cold room. “I don't understand why journalists are making such a fuss about this,” said the priest who organized the exorcism.[BBC News]»

Aug 9 In Jerusalem the biblical Pool of Siloam, where Jesus cured a blind man, was discovered by sewer workers.[Post-Gazette.com]»

Oct 6 The Catholic Church of Scotland published a guide to the Bible stating that the account of creation in the book of Genesis is “symbolic.” The virgin birth of Jesus, however, is still considered to be fact.[The Scotsman]»
