Wait for church leaders to get hold of this (http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/1110AP_Jesuss_Burial.html)
Another one (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,254669,00.html)
JERUSALEM — Filmmakers and researchers on Monday unveiled two ancient stone boxes they said may have once contained the remains of Jesus and Mary Magdalene, but several scholars derided the claims made in a new documentary as unfounded and contradictory to basic Christian beliefs.
"The Lost Tomb of Jesus," produced by Oscar-winning director James Cameron and scheduled to air March 4 on the Discovery Channel, argues that 10 small caskets discovered in 1980 in a Jerusalem suburb may have held the bones of Jesus and his family.
One of the caskets even bears the title, "Judah, son of Jesus," hinting that Jesus may have had a son, according to the film.
The very fact that Jesus had an ossuary would contradict the Christian belief that he was resurrected and ascended to heaven.
:drinktoth
Should any of this be factual, churchmen the world over are going to be scrambling to find new means of employment. This could put all of christianity on its' ear.
