tertullian is one of my favorite christist 'saints'. "the story of the son of god being crucified, and then of his resurrection, is absurd. therefore it must be true".
i also like origen, another early 'saint'. he cut off his own testicles. because they were tempting him.

************************************************************ Par for the course: Credo quia absurdum - I believe it because it is absurd. - Tertullian 1 Corinthians 1 (Paul of Tarsus speaks, "under the influence" of sunstroke) 22. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; Jairam Ramesh is as wise as the Greeks of old!
