Bigfoot, Jesus, and the Bermuda Triangle
Anyone who's watched practically any "news" show on ABC recently must have seen something about this new "shocking" documentary about Jesus. ABC has devoted almost 15 minutes of air-time on Good Morning America and "Nightline" to a documentary filmmaker who asserts in his movie "Bloodline" that the resurrection of Jesus Christ was a massive hoax.
Wow! What's all the attention for? This filmmaker must really have something here. He must be a really respected scientist or historian...or not.
On Friday's "Nightline," reporter Elizabeth Vargas interviewed the documentarian Bruce Burgess about his finding but oddly, she left out any mention of his past films. He's directed documentaries on Bigfoot, the Bermuda Triangle, Area 51 and an alien landing at Roswell.
Now don't you think that would be relevant information? ABC doesn't. ABC lets this guy push the theory that a 19th Century French priest, Father Sauniere, was paid for his silence, because he'd found proof of a shocking secret that Mary Magdalene was actually married to Jesus. And that Jesus and Mary Magdalene had a child. That after the crucifixion she fled with that child here to a rugged and very remote corner of southern France. That their descendants and their secret were protected in the Middle Ages by a group of crusaders whom historians called the Knights Templar.
Yeah. I know. We did this already. Like five years ago.
My question is why would ABC push something like this on two shows when the guy is clearly a crackpot who missed this conspiracy by five years. He's not even a timely nut. But I guess attempts to undermine faith are timeless.

Well, if ABC said he was a quack film producer they'd have no story to air.I am sure it was a "buesiness" decision. Haha.
Ohhhhh! Maybe Dan Brown will sue him and all of this DaVinci Code skepticism will end. Not likely.
Wait...are you saying that Bigfoot is a descendant of Mary Magdalene?
I could never understand why some people are so desperate to destroy the faith of others. If they don't want to believe, that's up to them. They can deal with the consequences after they die. But why are they so adamant about trying to destroy the faith of those who believe? Why does it matter to them so much? It's not as though the church as any real political power anymore or has any say in the way they live their pathetic, little lives. Seriously, what is the point of all their handwringing?
Misery loves company, right?
Renee,
I think the secularists are winning. Or perhaps in many ways it's more accurate to say they've won. Eternal truths are not subscribed to anymore except in odd circles and silly little blogs like this one. But they've been beating up the Church for so long they don't know what else to do. They can't believe they can't stamp it out completely. So they just keep stamping. After a while they'll get bored and they'll start stamping on each other and Western civilization will be essentially flushed down the toilet.
And then the Church will build it back up with those who believe in truth. And once all the heavy lifting is done, they'll come back and start complaining again.
It's the way I see it...or maybe I'm just in a mood.
They attempt to destroy the faith of others because they're scared by it, and they're scared by it because they don't want to understand it, and they don't want to understand it because to do that would mean having to make a decision to change, and to decide means they have to think, and to think means they don't have the answers, and to not have the answers means they're scared. It's a vicious vortex, and they're trapped in it, and they see us not trapped in the vortex, at peace, which also angers them (some are truly attracted to the peace and they get out of the vortex), and their anger keeps them in the vortex.
I agree with Matthew - just like numerous times in history, it will be the Church that will "do all the heavy lifting" because She is the one who will have stood fast in the Truth.
Thank you, gentlemen. It probably seems like such a silly question, but I seem unable to see things from that point of view so they seem so petty and silly. Perhaps I live in a cocoon but I don't know anyone who would be swayed by these atheistic "explanations". When I see these types on TV I always feel kind of sorry for them. What a lousy way to live your life.
I fear for the people who don't know much about their faith but hold onto it. And they just walk by the television and the news is reporting that Jesus and Mary Magdalene had kids. And then they have this serious looking guest using big words and wearing glasses.
That kind of thing, I fear, does great damage to people on the fence.
You may be right about the effects on the fence sitters Matt. But consider it seperating the wheat from the chaff.
Keep in mind that contrary to what they erroneously say at the altar every mass, Christ came here for "many" not for "all".
