Never heard of him. Who is he and what does he have to say. Are his weblogs safe for work?

They will have some schmuck claim to be an offshoot decendant of Jesus and his DNA will be about 70% similar to the body found - I am betting that will be their "proof".

Also note that "coffins" weren't used for the poor in the Middle East during the time of Christ. Ossuaries were used for the affluent Jews. Their bones were allowed to decompose and their remains were put in small stone boxes, only about 1 foot by 2 foot. The ossuary was then put in a tomb. Christ's family could have never afforded such a luxury. The only one who MAY have been entombed in an ossuary years after his death was Jesus' brother James, who died several years after Christ. - if it was James, then it was afforded only by the charity of the stonecarver or the person who owned the tomb.

An ossuary was found several years ago inscribed "James, brother of Jesus and son of Joseph". The ossuary was the only one of the Joseph and Mary family ever substantiated. It was done in 2002. However, there is a great deal of controversy around that discovery today. The man who owns the ossuary today is Oded Golan, a disreputable collector who has a history of archealogical forgeries surrounding his past.

The interesting paradox with the story is, if you truly want to believe that the ossuary belongs to a family member of Jesus, you have to admit that Jesus is a definitive past living member of the human race.

Cameron has done nothing but attached his name as a producer to a couple of bad documentaries and the horrid failure Solaris over the last decade - he is merely doing what he can to make a buck.

Yeah, I heard on the news that one of the main aspects he is basing these wild assumptions on is the fact that the tomb had the names Jesus, Mary and Joseph in it; nothing common about those names in that part of the world in that time. :rolleyes:

A piece of wheat toast came to life yesterday, grew to gigantic proportions, walked right into my office, and told me that Mr. CosmicPal is a reincarnated witch hunter from the 1600s.

It took me hours to clean up all the crumbs.

Actually, he would be the 3rd Anti Christ behind Napolean and Hitler.

Why doesn't Cameron go after an easier target to dispute-like the Mormons-lol

It worked for SouthPark.

He's not debunking a religion. He's debunking a fairy tale that's considered a fact by a lot of people. Of course it's bound to piss them off. Shit, I was pissed when I found out the Santa wasn't real too.

george lucas would be the antichrist of movies since he killed Starwars and E.T and now has his sights on indiana jones.

Does it piss you off so much that ppl believe in god.

Everyone needs to believe what they want. Does it really serve a purpose to call someones religion a fairy tale though?

agree 100%

+++REP

Yes it does, here!

I tried to warn them but they are heathens and banned me?

Go Figure...

But a ban will not keep the Lords word down, or me either..........

I believe in a greater power/god/whatever you want to call it, but I am not religious. You see, I never needed the concept of religion to understand what is morally wrong and right. And anyway, 99% of the religious people are hypocrites (1% being the truly devoted monks who just pray all day and live the simplest life possible in some monastery).

But yeah, religious people do piss me off, they ruin the world for everyone, always have and always will.

And I'm sorry, but I like I said, I don't believe in fairy tales - a category into which resurrection falls. And I don't mean to offend you, it's just what I believe.

I dont see why you Care what ppl do with there own personal shit.

So when Dieing ppl Find religion you automatically think of them has hypocrites?

See above post you sinner!
