Director James Cameron has several claims to fame including enveloping pushing special effects for The Abyss, winning best director for Titanic, and raising awareness about the increasing deterioration of said ship at the bottom of the deep sea. Now he can claim one more; finding Christ. Cameron, in a Discovery Channel documentary, claims to have  discovered ossuaries (little caskets used to store bones) in Jerusalem that would contradict some of the most sacred tenants of Christianity, that Christ had been resurrected after three days and that he was never married nor produced a child with Mary Magdalene.
 
The ossuaries:
 
Six had names etched into them, which were translated as Jesus son of Joseph, Judah son of Jesus, Maria, Mariamne (thought to be Mary Magdalene's real name), Joseph and Matthew.
 
The Associated Press reports:
 
One of the caskets even bears the title, "Judah, son of Jesus," hinting that Jesus may have had a son. And the very fact that Jesus had an ossuary would contradict the Christian belief that he was resurrected and ascended to heaven.
 
Were this true, that Christ did not ascend into heaven, that he was not crucified and resurrected then he would undoubtedly be the worlds' most famous fraud.  If the claims are that he was a father, a husband, and thus a falliable human then his own admission to be the Son of God should be seen as nothing more than the ravings of a mentally disturbed individual.
 
Pure poppycock.
