And we all know that those 12 Apostles who knew Jesus, Mary and Mary M. personally spent their remaining lives, suffering unimaginable hardships(and dying martyrs) perpetuating a lie.

So common as it would be odd not to find them.

After all, there are a lot of "Mary"s in the New Testament.

Wow, that's pretty good. You could get a job at the NY times as a religion writer!

Meanwhile, I pray that you find the Truth before its too late, or did I miss your sarc disclaimer?

That's funny. We just watched Da Vinci code Sunday night for the first time, almost nodded off several times, and in the end decided it was like National Treasure, only less believable.

Hey, it even had the same references to the "Knights Templar".

That's absurd. Everyone knows that Jesus roamed the countryside for years with 12 friends (but was a 33-year-old virgin when he died), miraculously was raised from the dead, and floated off to somplace called "heaven" because he is the immortal son of God.

Well. Yes. Hope you can find your way there someday.

As I say, even if they had the real Jesus and family...how would they be able to prove it? How would they even know? Did somebody time-travel back and get DNA swabs?

No, this is just silly.

So the Israeli Antiquities Authority is lending its name to anti-Christian propaganda. Just another shameful behavior to add to their various ones surrounding the James Ossuary.

If Jesus was a Jew, how come he has a Mexican name?

The Knights Templar seem to be getting blamed for almost as much as George Bush nowadays.

If Tom Hanks face gets any puffier, we won't be able to see all those facial expressions that have made him famous. It certainly can't be his acting that got him this far.

No, he just invented unions and foisted them off on us. He never sleeps, just works 24/7 on our destruction. And today he has a lot of help from the people in the article.

This is true in other cultures/periods as well.

I have been doing some genealogy work and had some time with a fellow from Boston (yes, Irish ancestry for me). During the interview he said my ancestor's name was uncommon enough to be able to get some quick results, but he noted that when folks talk to him and their ancestor's name was "Mary Kelly" he essentially wishes them good luck - the name being so common.

But as far as Jesus goes, his life and death and resurrection is extremely well attested to. Eyewitness accounts and the eyewitnesses (all of them, save John) died martyr's deaths as a result. It's one thing to believe a lie, but it's another thing entirely to die for it.

I have yet to hear an adequate explanation for the death and resurrection of Jesus other than what is presented in the Gospels.

"Mexicans are just Jews in disguise!"

More truth to that than most people think.

Mexico was the destination of choice for Jews during the Spanish Inquisition.

For example, Presidente Fox is (was? can't recall, if he's no longer el jefe) of Jewish descent, paternal and maternal.

"It makes a great story for a TV film," he told The Jerusalem Post. "But it's impossible. It's nonsense." I was going to say that, but its already in the article.

He looks like he's getting ready to play Al Gore in a movie or something.
