Much ado about nothing: The Discovery of Jesus' Tomb

I am sure by now that you have seen something about the documentary that will be shown on Sunday night on the Discovery Channel with evidence suggesting that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene and how they have unearthed Jesus' tomb alongside Mary and their son named Judas.

Don't lose any sleep over this latest sensational attempt to disprove that Jesus was the Son of God and that he rose from the dead. It happens every year around this time.

On the other hand, lots of people have seen this story in the newspaper, on the internet, or on one of the talk or new shows as there is a massive pre-publicity effort underway, especially since a well-known Hollywood producer is in on this hoax.
