http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/talkofthetown/6172 The Titanic was real, so must &quot;The Lost Tomb of Jesus&quot; which includes Jesus, the Biblical Savior of the world; his wife, Mary Magdeline, and their son Judah, also be real? Where does that question come from? James Cameron, the filmmaker who explored the wreck of the Titanic and directed an Oscar-winning feature film based on its sinking, is the executive producer of a documentary based on the Jesus-was-married-and-had-a-kid theme. The theme is based on six ossuaries, or stone boxes for holding human bonds, found in a tomb unearthed during construction in Jerusalem in 1980. This would come as a shock to millions of people who believe Jesus only borrowed a tomb&nbsp; for three days and then, like a good camper, left it the way he found it. The belief goes that Jesus, son of God, raised himself from the dead and went to heaven, having sacrificed his human life for the sins of all man.&nbsp; But The Discovery Channel had a news conference Monday to promote the documentary produced by Cameron. Turns out leading archaeologists in the United States and Israel say this is all a publicity stunt based on no scientific evidence. A Washington Post article linked above quotes archaeologists as saying the basis of the documentary &quot;nonsense&quot; and &quot;intellectually and scientifically dishonest.&quot; That may have nothing to do with whether the documentary makes a lot of money.

I'll pass as well, but I'm sure it will get plenty of exposure from all the protesters. This movie is almost guaranteed to make money form that alone. Even a bad Jesus movie that gets protested will cash in. You'd think the protesters would have figured that out by now. http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/talkofthetown/6172/#c_62310 http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/talkofthetown/6172/#c_62310 I'll pass as well, but I'm sure it will get plenty of exposure from all the protesters.
