As a screen writer, I am sure that James Cameron is very familiar with the dramatic element known as irony. Thus, he will not be surprised when he is murdered by Christian fundamentalists in the not too distant future.

If he were to be making this documentary disproving something about the prophet Mohammed, then I'm pretty sure his life would be in danger. Christian bashing is nothing new however. Even "fundies" don't rise to violence over it (rarely if ever).

It only takes 1. And every now and again one will blow up an abortion clinic or kill doctors who perform abortion so they are definitely out there.

How many have risen to murder over "insulting" Christianity? Zero as far as I know.

Perhaps this has already been covered and I missed it, but is there some reason for the idea that he wasn't resurrected, or is that just something they're adding in there? I don't see what his having a wife or a child would have to do with that.

Please let me know if this question was already raised.

Im pretty sure its just something that they threw in there without any actual evidence to back it up. They are trying to use evidence for something completely different as a way to gain credibility to throw out a completely unjustified statement.

Hollywood would do something like that? :Q

Yeah, that's about what I figured. Didn't see anything about it in the original post, so I just thought I'd check.

And spinners on the caravans!

I guess they're trying to say that since here is a body, he can't have been resurrected and ascended to heaven (the Ascension) in said body. That's my guess.

When did we get a sample of Jesus' DNA to compare?

Shroud of Touron(Turin, OK, I will spell it your way.)? Edit: Hitler's mythical spear of conquest? Christ's real body, stolen from the tomb after the Crucifiction and buried under the Vatican in the catacombes?


possibly from one of the shards of the "true cross" that floats around the reliquaries of the world. problem is...added together, all fo the shards of the "true cross" will give you ~42 crosses. Which one do you pick

Shroud Of Turrin has never been proven to be of Jesus...Unsolved Mysteries did a show on it, and the people that tested the DNA said that it was only about 800-1000 years old at the time of testing.


Carbon dating was used to test the age. DNA testing in this case (highly unlikely that it was even capable with this sample), would in no way be able to show the age of an individual less than 20 million years old or so...

Why would a body disprove that? I always just assumed he was resurrected, then when he ascended, his body was left behind, and reburied. Why take the body along for the ride?

As we pass further into the centuries, 21st, 22nd etc., the claims will grow wilder and louder and seem evermore irrefutable. Check the Book Revelations - we now live in the "end times.":clock:

Jeremiah is also a good reference -

Please make my day and provide evidence that supports your statements that are not from the Bible.

One of the major parts that makes the Christian religion work is that they must believe the world will end before their time is up. Revelations is written in such a way that the end is always coming. That is it's purpose, to drive people to live a 'good' life. I bet people in the middle ages had this same conversation (although I bet it ended with someone getting his head cut off). The fact is 200 years from now, the end is still 'near'.

near is a pretty relative term when you consider how old the universe is

reality is that even if you could prove that an organized religion is wrong, there would still be blind believers
