  I guess you heard a couple weeks ago about the new film by the director
of "Titanic," James Cameron.  The film proclaims the bones of Jesus have
been discovered on Earth, thereby calling into question the Christian belief
that Jesus rose to heaven after death, body and all.

  Shucks, I could have told the Jews that.  Any atheist or agnostic could
have :-)

  Now that Jews have found the bones of Jesus, all we need is for Jews to
find the so-called "Ark of the Covenant."  Of course, they'll never find
that because it doesn't exist, unlike Jesus' bones ;-)

  I hate to criticize Jews because of all the suffering they experienced
during the 20th Century, but they are just overly obsessed with Jesus of
Bethlehem.  Even an atheist like myself clearly recognizes that.

  Still, I look forward to seeing the film.  It's going to be a hoot! :-)
James Cameron is a great filmmaker, without question.  Only a great director
could go so easily from drama to comedy [chuckle].

  But in all seriousness, Cameron is one of my favorite directors.  Love
his films...The Terminator (1 and 2), Aliens (second in the series), True
Lies (with Jamie Lee Curtis), The Abyss, Titanic.  This new one is gonna
be his best ever, though ;-)

  I wanted to resist going Off-Topic.  So I apologize to Ray O for my
lapse.  I also hope the Jews in the newsgroup don't get too upset at what
I said.  It's all in good fun.  You know me; I make fun of all religions.
How many times have I had fun with my former Christian beliefs?

Even if one DID find the bones of Jesus the Nazarene what would be the big
deal?  Would you no longer believe that Jesus arose dead?  Hardly,.if one is
a Christen they know you have no need of your earthly body.

Jesus Ortega. He used to run a Taco stand in Miami.

Yep, that's what I want to know.  Joshua, or in Greek, Jesus, was a fairly
common first name in those days.

How many Hispanics named Jesus have you known?  I've known quite a few over
the years, it's one of the fairly common first names.

And since last names hadn't quite become an exact science in 30 AD, how do
we know that this Jesus is from Nazereth and the son of Joseph (and Mary)
and the half-brother of James and Joses and Simon and Judas?

What difference would it make to you anyway? Your beliefs are "faith based"
delusions. You don't need facts.

Religion is the biggest scam in the world. It's stock in trade is ignorance
and violence and stupidity.

Jesus is often used by fat preaching hustlers in order to herd vulnerable
people, prone to fears around their imminent demise, into stuffy churches,
where they can be manipulated and controlled, in order to exploit their
economic and political resources. - Someone

I think religion is so popular because even the village idiot can feel like
Einstein without any effort.
