There are many sources which describe the life of Jesus... I once heard a speech by a son of a former Russian official. He told a story how his friend (son of a general) took him to a secret underground library in Moscow and showed him a huge collection of ancient books which talk about life of Jesus. They even had a table from the last supper (Supposedly it is that table...)

My friend found a bowl of pasta that was determined to be made in the year 9999 BC (thanks to radiometric dating). This pasta is undoubtedly evidence of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
Thing is, my friend has never told anyone but me and no one but him has seen this bowl, so you'll just have to trust me on this one.
I know a guy, who knows a guy, who has a sister, who married a guy, who's brother's son had a goat, that was the brother of that one you see in the nativity scene. So there ya go.
I once had the opportunity to buy a tablecloth online that contained embossed crumbs from the Last Supper, all I had to do was send a check for $2,000,000 to Oral Roberts. Alas I was a little short that week.
Yes... because the soviet union was well known for maintaining vast libraries of the things that were officially denied by the government.
You know, like how, in spite of the official policy of Lysenkoism, the soviet government maintained vast libraries on the subject of Mendelian genetics...
"I once heard a speech by a son of a former Russian official."
Oh, so you had a credible witness then. Anonymous offspring from various people are always a good source of information. I suppose he was also an expert in biblical archaeology too, right?
"He told a story how his friend (son of a general) took him to a secret underground library in Moscow and showed him a huge collection of ancient books which talk about life of Jesus."
Must've been the same collection I saw in the religious section of my local bookstore...
"They even had a table from the last supper (Supposedly it is that table...)"
No doubt the same one Da Vinci posed his models around for his famous painting of the last supper.
At least TheEditor said 'supposedly' it's the table so he's not entirely gullible I guess.
Talisman.
He said 'supposedly' because his other friend in the Swiss Guard knows that the real one's in the vaults under the Vatican and it's where the Pope does his baby sacrifices.
That's why they don't want so many abortions. The fact that the firstborn should serve in the church as a nun or a preist etc, was a perversion from the fact that the firstborn was meant to be sacrificed using Cleopatra's needle!
My gerbil's sister's daughter's friend's owner's mistress's grandmother's cousin's ex's hamster's grandfather's spleen's ...
Err, I think I lost the the thread. Harumpf. Anyway. The point is, this is proof positive that TheEditor is a douche and an agent of the evilutionist gay agenda conspiracy, who eats babies.
If I saw a room full of books in Russian, or English, for that matter, how would I ever know wtf is in them unless I read them myself? Of course, if some Russian official's friend of a friend said they were all about Jesus, how could I deny he knows what he's talking about? Not if he's just some vodka swilling crazy Russky, but an official one, of course.
Actually why would I give a shitsky wtf is in them?
Especially if there was a chance Jebus is in there, haha.
And if every alleged fragment of the True Cross could be put together you'd have enough wood to build Noah's Ark.
Oh, and I heard a story from the son of a friend of a daughter of a cousin of a friend of a son of someone who lives three houses down the road from a Russian bus driver doesn't carry much weight. You do know that there is a very good reason why hearsay evidence is worth absolutely shit in court, don't you?
Not to mention that there are millions of books that talk about the life of Jesus. the only problem is, in whatever language they are printed in, they all have the same title. I wonder what the Russian for "Bible" is. "Bollockski", perhaps?
As Christianity was denied in Russia for a long time, it was probably just a stack of old Bibles that someone had hidden from the book-pyre.
Aren't there enough splinters from the cross of Jesus to build several houses?

"I wonder what the Russian for "Bible" is. "Bollockski", perhaps?"
It's "Bibliya". I tried to get it in Cyrillic letters, but it didn't work.
If memory serves, "Bible" comes from the Latin word for book.
On the other hand, many Catholic priest have lost their faith and left their church after being let in on some of the books and scrolls in the Vatican Library. My story isn't a complete fabrication like yours either.
Many other quit in seminary school as Catholics preists in training are given a little more on the history of the Bibles (other versions too) compilation, enough that some come to realize how hobbled together the whole farce is.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
