Subject: RE: BS: Conspiracy theories
Now that Pete has posted,it occurs to me that the notorious religious skeptic, Musket, did not mention what some consider to be the greatest conspiracy of all time,The Passover Plot

Here's a quote from the link that summarizes it:

"the central mystery of Jesus' death and resurrection was carefully planned to fulfill biblical prophecies. His crucifixion was targeted for the day before the Jewish Passover in the knowledge that the bodies would be taken down before the sabbath. A drug administered to Jesus, perhaps in the sponge mentioned in John 19:29, slowed his heartbeat and put him in a state of suspended animation. Friends and disciples had arranged to recover his body and start reanimation efforts as soon as possible. - The plan failed when a Roman soldier ran a spear into his side (John 19:34). The aftermath had to be improvised."

You're such a slacker, Musket...
