This Guy Has A Point About The Current Jesus Debate

Scott McKnight, discussing the controversy that James Cameron has stirred up while promoting his new documentary The Jesus Family Tomb, had this to say about the claim that Jesus and his family are buried in the tomb:

Most importantly, I find the claim incredible: We are being asked to believe that a Christian movement [...] carried on the secret of actually having the bones of Jesus buried in an extravagant and public place while they encouraged early Christians to go to death because of their faith in Jesus resurrection and ascension.

You got to admit he has a point, even if you don't believe in God and/or Jesus. The fact that the entire Christian movement in the early years was based on Jesus not being dead -- while his tomb was right there out in the open -- does cast some doubt on the accuracy of the findings in the documentary. Either way, Scott's arguments are worth a read.
