Not surprisingly the primary "archaeology" of the site was carried out by Franciscan monks and WHAT POSSIBLE REASON COULD THEY HAVE TO LIE?  Israeli archaeologists contest the Franciscan findings but jesus freaks never want to hear that shit.

Yeah, I was having a chat at a business breakfast (BNI) a few weeks ago and the topic of OS holidays came up.  One of the ladies piped up that she actually got to see the house that Jesus lived in in Nazareth, and threw some coins in a well that Mary drew water from. I said, "that's grand", but was thinking "Cha-ching!"

Salm said that when someone throws that ad hom at him, he replies that he is careful for that reason not to have an expert opinion on the subjects, rather he gathers and catalogs actual expert archaeologist's opinions. He is hoping to get cited in scholarship, but I think that it will take a while, if ever, as it is so contentious.
