The Book of Job describes Leviathan. This creature of the Bible is mentioned in one of the oldest books. Dragons were seen in Europe in the 1600's or some kind of dinosaur that resembled what the people of that era considered a dragon. It seems like every country has writings of dragons of some kind. The giants of the Bible are real. These people were not human but bred with humans. Many bones of giants have been found. A lot of what we call mythology has some truth to it.
Guizhu, China dragon fossil bones resemble the dragons of what we call mythology.

I havent heard anything of the sort.. but in the bible, leviathan sounds like a dragon and not a 'crocodile' like some bible translations state.... I honestly don't think any church could 'hide' the evidence tho.. and don't know why they would.
what you state tho, about eastern religions not becoming more popular because of something christians do/did is a little bogus tho..... and sounds like someone is just trying to pit people against each other more than they were

Eastern religions worshipping.... dragons? Not really sure what religions those would be. Don't Christians think dragons existed but just didn't make it onto the ark? I remember a kids summer camp where they told us that. So it seems to me that the Christian church would benefit if dragon fossils were found, because it would lend evidence to the whole ark thing.
Same deal with unicorns.

This is the biggest failing of the Church. Keeping knowledge from others, "thinking" they are
protecting them. Then, when people find out about things. They think the church has lied to them, and they turn their backs on Religious
discretion.
But as the writer in the Christian Bible said,
"To knowledge, temperence"
We cannot afford to be ignorant. But spiritual things are not games.

Many images I've seen of dragons are beautiful. I read somewhere that dragon should have been translated as jackal. I like that idea better, never seen a nice looking jackal. But then again, Lucifer was said to be very beautiful in heaven. Perhaps we should beware of pretty dragons.

If the church was going to cover up fossils, dont you think they would cover up all of the ones that point to evolution? Its not possible.

There are a lot of dragons around, but they are very sly and are able to disappear at the approach of human beings.

I would most likely have to say no.
and pedophile priests? that is the Catholic church. there is a difference between Catholicism and being a Christian (following Jesus).

I don't think the church could hide dragons if they were real.
