Isn't every day's religious slot on the Today program a joke? A
patronising telling of fairy tales for the gullible.

DIY could of course be turned into a Religion, after all the Ark was the
ultimate DIY project and what about the crosses?

Challenging the Biblical literalists and Young Earth Creationists to
build an Ark out of wood to house two of every species and 40 days food
for them all should keep them out of mischief for a very long time.

I think it unreasonable the Jedi, Pagans and Devil worshippers never get
a turn. (didn't Jedi Knights come quite high in the 2011 census)

And what about the 14m with no religion why don't they get a turn?

I was just going to say that! (but that's Thought For The Day rather
than the service). Oddly enough I reckon Jonathan Sacks is normally the
only person who says anything interesting (although I did once catch a
good Moslem as well).

Going back to the April Fool, I'm reluctant to waste 38 MB of free data
downloading the edition, much less spend 41 minutes listening to it. Is
it worth it?

In case you are unaware, crucifixion is a slow death as it becomes
increasingly hard to breath with the weight on the arms stread apart that
way. As I always thought, those folks were sadists as well as heathens.

Officially only slaves were crucified. The scaffold could be a simple
vertical post, a +, an X, a T or just any old tree. I think the word
cross comes from the Latin for crucifixion and the reason it has its
current meaning is based on images of Christ on the cross, which
appeared centuries after it happened, so we can't be sure of the shape
or how He was attached to it.

For instance their report about the old man who allegedly killed the
burglar was mostly given over to the dead man's sympathisers, who moaned
on an on about what a splendid chap he was, how he had a family, how
society was to blame for the fact that he was a criminal, etc etc. Not a
word about the trauma suffered by the old man and his wife.

there was a new church in town in the 90's and there was a big new
varnished wooden cross at pavement level the next day "JESUS WAS HERE"
was scraped across it...tee hee

It wouldn't kill you as your weight would rip the nails through your
hands and you would fall off.

The Romans nailed you trough the wrists if at all.

But ther ewas no word for wrists in Hebrew IIRC so whereever on the end of the arm to the finger tips would be translated as hands even through the nails went through the wrists, and then you find that stigmata is shown to happen in the palms of hands not on wrists so maybe that shows how accurate we should take such things, and Kirk never said "beam me up scotty" but lots of people seem to think he did.

That's just a modern explanation. perhaps they were tied and the nails
added afterwards.

It would make a fun April fools to say at the site they found evidence of plastic cable ties or duck tape.

I have a book - "Shadrach in the Furnace" - where one of the characters
visits a Carpentry chapel. He makes a stool. very soothing apparently.

Dosn't make sense, you'd thought they'd want to the pain to be evident at the start of the crusifiction not a day or so later.

I think they might have found putting nails in Jesus's wrists a few days after the crusification a little difficult because according to the Bible he was resurected or at the very least his body disapeared.
