I have to say that from my position on the picket fence, the very idea of all these learned folk discussing, analysing, agonising over a scrap of ancient papyrus (genuine or not), and over the question of whether a man whose life story we cannot possibly trace with even the slightest degree of certainty did or did not have sex, makes me wonder if theology is not a form of collective madness.-Theology can only know what is archeologically proven. Faith is not collective madness, unless the faithful recognize their beliefs are only that, beliefs.
