Atheists, what are your thoughts about the Shroud of Turin?

The forger admitted his crime in what...theb 1400s? The blood is tempera paint. (It has been analyzed.) And the painted body is clearly stylized to match the art trends of the time and would not look that way if it was an actual impression of a real body. The shroud itself has been dated to the time of the forgery and NOT anywhere near the supposed existence of Jesus. Joe Nickel wrote about investigating this popular little hoax in depth. Perhaps you should check out his book.
