Whatever, let us bear in mind the last time there was a radical and much publicized ossuary discovery, back in 2002; that is, the "James, Son of Joseph, Brother of Jesus" ossuary, which has since been determined by most scientific/historical experts to be a modern-day
forgery.

It isn't 100% blatant but it does exist.

I've noticed that, too; not just on this board, but on other boards as well. I think it has to do with the shared beliefs (or non-beliefs) and attitudes of the admin and the moderators, as well as that of the more popular members, of the message board, along with the general tone of the message board itself.
Be that as it may, I also think this "anti-Christian" attitude ("anti-religion", really) has a lot to do with how fearful and polarized this country has become, ever since 9/11, and with our President, for the past six years, being a self-proclaimed Christian and claiming he has some kind of hotline with God; and all the while, this President and his administration has shown numerous conflicts of interest, has run the federal government deep into debt, has fed the public misleading if not outright false information, and has gotten us ensnarled in a costly, controversial, and losing war.
