If the networks had any stones they would do a series of Muhammad as a misguided rug peddler.

Vargas said ABC had not found any proof as to whether Jesus had a wife, but could not completely discount the theory either.
Now THERE is a suprise! /sarcasm..

I believe this comes from the Coptic gospels which the R.C. Church removed around 300 A.D..
I've heard about Christ having children before, but it's merely interesting theory.
However, since Christ was known as 'Rabbi', a term usually indicating one who had 'settled down' in life.

I really don't understand why it would make a difference one way or the other.

These people are in bed with Satan.

I would not be surprised to see a sit-com about the life of Jesus. Ted McGinley as Christ, Markie Post as Mary.....we just need a name for the series.

"Vargas said ABC had not found any proof as to whether Jesus had a wife, but could not completely discount the theory either."

This passes for logic at ABC. If I extrapolate it, i can say I can't find any proof that Michael Eisner is a necrophiliac, but I can't discount the theory either.

More blasphemy from the anti-Christian bigots in Hollyweird... God will punish the wicked.

Don't many of the "Royals" throughout Europe and the UK (Old monarchys) believe they are decendants of Christ (Royal blood, holy lineage)? Preserved and protected by the Knights Templar or some other secret group? Seems I've heard that one surface more than once....

[Ogmios]

Why would the fact that Jesus was possibly married upset anyone, besides Catholic Priests of course?

What is the problem with it, it just shows that God coming as human wished to experience all of life as a human being.

What's the big deal? He's still the son of God, right? He's still your Savior, right?

So, what are some of you getting all upset about?

A leading US TV news reporter has said her network is taking a risk with a NEWS SPECIAL which asks whether Jesus Christ had a wife.

A news special?

A NEW LOW in the left-wing radical extremist attacks on Christianity!

I am looking for the same outrage and boycott for this movie that was displayed about the upcoming movie about President Reagan

[Dionysius]

You will only see more of this. The secular humanists will do everything in their power to trivialize Christ and Christianity in order to thwart the impact of Mel Gibson's "The Passion" when it is released next spring. They fear a return to religious values which will screw up their agenda.

[L.N. Smithee]

It doesn't surprise me that ABC is considering showing this tripe. The news division has been in love with the revisionist historians known as "The Jesus Seminar" for many years.

[WackyKat]

I don't understand why people are so upset by this.
The Gospels say nothing of Jesus' life between the ages of about 13 and 30.
Given that the Gospel writers believed they were writing the life of the Savior of humanity, it seems an unaccountable omission.
How could what Jesus did and said during that period not be important?
Couldn't he have married and had children?
That would not have been a sin, would it?
That the Gospels don't mention Jesus having a wife is hardly evidence that he didn't, since the Gospels obviously leave out an enormous amount of Jesus' words and actions.

Well, Jesus is a religious figure in the Muslim faith. Maybe if Muslims object, then the TV movie will be pulled. Christian objections won't achieve anything, but maybe Muslim objections will...

"was being made "as respectfully as we can".

That's like me suggesting as respectfully as I can that the ABC executive's mothers were prostitutes and drug addicts.

[gulfcoastgumbo]

I am just finishing reading The Da Vinci Code...I think Christians and Jews should be sickened by it, although the Catholic faith is attacked. It is promoting paganism wrapped in a slightly interesting mystery.

The Jesus Scroll
This book presented that theory (among others) many many years ago.

When will they expose muhammed as a pedophile old scumbag?
