Hatred of Christianity is alive and well among leftists.
Jesus’ mother, Mary, died and was buried in Ephesus, a city in modern day Turkey. So it’s not likely that a tomb found in Israel would refer to the same Mary.
It's like finding a grave for "John Smith" and concluding no one named John Smith survived thereafter....
Waiting for the documentary about Muhammed’s child bride to aired at the start of Ramadan.
You have no idea. While telling someone about the Lord recently, his only argument (the only one he could come up with) was that because the Gospels were not written in modern day parlance (written as we would a modern day novel), they could not, therefore, be genuine. He was serious. I was disgusted and amazed.

This article is barely worth the space a good vanity could occupy.
lefties are so brave aren’t they?
The question is wrong. Rather than ask, “did someone find the tomb of Jesus,” the question should be “did someone find the tomb of Jesus, AND WERE THE REMAINS OF JESUS INSIDE?”
I have no problem in having someone discover the tomb itself. I would have major problems if someone positively identified remains of Jesus, though lol. I Co 15.

The Christian-Judeo ethic is the target of both Communism and Islam. If it is finally expunged, darkness would envelop the world as never before. Those who rush to join the vendetta, fed by the lure of pure evil, hope to hold the cat of nine tails over the “masses”, and will keep the guillotine bloody busy. But greater is He than he who is of the world (Satan), and He will prevail, so keep the faith!

As a Catholic I was taught that Mary, ascended into Heaven. Would that not mean that she was not buried?

One Freeper (can't remember who) said this was like finding the tomb of a man named John Adams, and assuming that because his son was also named John, this was definitely the 2nd POTUS...even though the grave site was in the wrong state.
One of those differences of opinion between Protestants and Catholics. The good news is, we'll be able to ask her when we get there.
Mary Magdeline was buried in Ephesus. Mary Queen of Knights was buried at the base of Mount Olivet.
This is true, for now. Communism and Islam have traditionally not been so chummy. We used that to our advantage in Afghanistan in the 80s. It may be best to try to get these two enemies to attack each other again.
