James Cameron Is Going To Piss Off Mel Gibson

Just wait, there's going to be a news bulleton about Mel Gibson leaping off of a Malibu overpass onto James Cameron's car after this comes out:

Brace yourself. James Cameron, the man who brought you 'The Titanic' is back with another blockbuster. This time, the ship he's sinking is Christianity.

In a new documentary, Producer Cameron and his director, Simcha Jacobovici, make the starting claim that Jesus wasn't resurrected --the cornerstone of Christian faith-- and that his burial cave was discovered near Jerusalem. And, get this, Jesus sired a son with Mary Magdelene.

No, it's not a re-make of "The Da Vinci Codes'. It's supposed to be true.

Let's go back 27 years, when Israeli construction workers were gouging out the foundations for a new building in the industrial park in the Talpiyot, a Jerusalem suburb. of Jerusalem. The earth gave way, revealing a 2,000 year old cave with 10 stone caskets. Archologists were summoned, and the stone caskets carted away for examination. It took 20 years for experts to decipher the names on the ten tombs. They were: Jesua, son of Joseph, Mary, Mary, Mathew, Jofa and Judah, son of Jesua.
Israel's prominent archeologist Professor Amos Kloner didn't associate the crypt with the New Testament Jesus. His father, after all, was a humble carpenter who couldn't afford a luxury crypt for his family. And all were common Jewish names.

There was also this little inconvenience that a few miles away, in the old city of Jerusalem, Christians for centuries had been worshipping the empty tomb of Christ at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. Christ's resurrection, after all, is the main foundation of the faith, proof that a boy born to a carpenter's wife in a manger is the Son of God.

But film-makers Cameron and Jacobovici claim to have amassed evidence through DNA tests, archeological evidence and Biblical studies, that the 10 coffins belong to Jesus and his family.

Ever the showman, (Why does this remind me of the impresario in another movie,"King Kong", whose hubris blinds him to the dangers of an angry and very large ape?) Cameron is holding a New York press conference on Monday at which he will reveal three coffins, supposedly those of Jesus of Nazareth, his mother Mary and Mary Magdalene. News about the film, which will be shown soon on Discovery Channel, Britain's Channel 4, Canada's Vision, and Israel's Channel 8, has been a hot blog topic in the Middle East (check out a personal favorite: Israelity Bites) Here in the Holy Land, Biblical Archeology is a dangerous profession. This 90-minute documentary is bound to outrage Christians and stir up a titanic debate between believers and skeptics. Stay tuned.

Man, there are just so many questions raised by the possibility of two men, who think they're God, fighting over Jesus.

Jesus died; was resurrected on the third day. Period.

In the last days................................it'll be hard to be a Christian.

Maybe the Bible really is true after all.

The third day?...Thought it was hump day?

And just whose DNA is being used for comparison? Scott Stapp?

It pays to be crazy in Hollywood.

Nice. A pointless documentary.

I'm thinking about documenting the impossibility of walking on water and turning water into wine.... Maybe I can get a collective 'No fucking shit' in the theatre at the end.

right, because we all know that those are miracle stories, and there has never been a miracle in the history of creation or existence. its safer to believe only what you can see, prove, or wrap your mind around.

even sarcasm isn't a miracle. though it is a gift--no fucking shit!

**muffdiver** · 02.25.07, 06:54 PM

This is gonna get the shit flying in here .I've seen it before....
Time to go.....

**steve mcqueen** · 02.25.07, 07:03 PM

'Safe' is an interesting choice of words. I would have used 'logical'.

One thing that has always amazed me is how religion always gets a pass. Walking on water, water into wine, resurrection, parting of seas, burning bushs, ect.... divine intervention! Yet, in any other circumstance, you'd be in a straightjacket for spouting such nonsense.
