Whole lotta fussin'
There's lots of noise in the msm and in the blogsphere about two related things. One is the James Cameron exposé of the supposed tomb of Jesus and his assertion that Jesus had children with Mary Magdelene. There's no reason why Jesus couldn't have fathered children but there is something awfully unlikely and foolish about Cameron being the one to make this determination. As The Anchoress points out, Jesus was perceived as a trouble-making rabble-rouser by his enemies and they would have been eagerly trying to find a way to prove to his followers that they had succeeded in killing him. They'd have looked high and low to find his tomb, leaving no stone unturned if you'll pardon the phrase, so doesn't it seem awfully unlikely that it took two thousand years and the less-than-intellectual director of schlocky romance/adventure films to find this tomb and 'evidence'?

In addition to Cameron, there is Mr. A.Gore. I mean, whatever may or may not be true of global warming, why is it that he believes it is he who is the annointed one to sonorously admonish everyone to drive slower and walk when we can and use less electricity? And why do his admonitions not apply to his family and himself but only to the great unwashed rest of us? My general thought today is that some people take themselves a tad too seriously. And that the rest of us have to remember to listen and block out the noise, and watch behind and around the spotlights before deciding what we think is true and important.

The absurdity of claiming to have found Jesus and/or his tomb is beyond the ridiculous. To begin with, there is no genetic record of Jesus, so how would you establish the veracity of any remains? Impossible.

This is just another example of hatred of Christianity and the willingness on some to do anything to harm it.
