James Cameron (yes, the Titanic guy) announced that he was releasing a new documentary about Jesus' lost tomb. He claims that they found Jesus, his family, Mary his mother, Mary his lover, and his son Judah. The film producers said that people out there should be responsive because they like to poke holes in the tradition of Jesus.
Here's what I love. I love how people think they are smart when they seek to just poke holes into something because it exists. They do not realize that the archeology used is awful, that the graves were marked with common Jewish names, or that if they used their "statistics" to look at textual criticism, they would find that the Bible has more evidence than this new find of Christ's body. I love how we can just ignore things and hold onto theories that have no foundation at all and use complete scholarly disregard for the field of archeology and first century historical backgrounds.
America is awesome. You can just make a movie filled with crap, and people will accept it as truth just because it pokes holes at the norm. If we keep following our logic, in a hundred years we will poke holes in the things we use to poke holes into other things. Congrats, Director Cameron. You will make millions off something secular scholarship would call hogwash.
I am not writing this from a Christian view, but from a view of one who has studied archeology and is familiar with the first century context that this film chooses to ignore. But in the case of America, we will easily believe anything like sheep without for a second looking at scientific, philosophical, or historical facts behind the issue. So be American, believe the film. And in a year everyone will realize the lack of scholarship, and it will fall by the wayside. Have fun America, can't wait to see you be predictable again.

Amen! Amen! Amen!
Thanks, it was an unabashed rant, but sometimes you just need to let one of those slip through, eh.
