A film director claims to have discovered a tomb containing the remains of Jesus, along with proof that Jesus had a son.
The central tenet of Christian belief is that Jesus rose from the dead, so this director’s claims go directly to the root of Christianity.
And what has been the reaction of Christians to this? Generally, quiet disagreement. Or at most, dismissing his claims and ‘laughing him to scorn’, as the Bible would put it.
That’s right, no burning flags, no burning effigies, no threats to kill, no violent demonstrations.
Hope the islamist extremists in our midst are taking note. That’s the way we do things in the civilised world, OK? Besides if you believe your God is real, you don’t need to fight any battles on his behalf.

I find that guy quite irritating, Jacobovici or whatever his name is.
Muslims believe in Christ’s Ascension, but not the resurrection.
I am lucky here, Bel. I have a standard response to people who ask my opinion about this. ‘Truth is the in the ultimate hands of Mother Church. My opinions are those of the Church. If you want my opinion on the subject, write to the Holy Office in Rome’
And I leave it at that.
Catholicism. Saves you annoying arguments.:)

Utter balderdash and what’s worse, mischievous balderdash. Ignore it.
