Is it so wrong if Jesus was married? This article is pretty interesting. The early church might have suppressed information about his marriage.
For a person who claims not to believe in god as a being, you sure act like you believe that god actually existed.
It seems to be a tradition of the judeo-christian god worshipers to retcon their mythology. The early jews did it with the Canaanite pantheon, and the early church did it with Jesus. All the gospels (Gospel of Thomas, Gospel of Peter [I think] and Gospel of Mary Magdelena) that involved a lot of jesus being human were taken out of the bible.

Well that just sounds perverse.
Leave his square pants alone and put your wannion away.

I think Jesus existed but he was a man.
Any basis for this, apart from having it drilled into your head by the church?

Sorry for not following the links but did Jesus leave his wife and go on the road? Or did he take her along?
There's this guy of some musical significance, he's doing this finale concert commentary. Ye he had to give it up, so many have died on the road, Hendrix, Joplin, Morrison, those plane crash people, Elvis. I thought he died on the toilet but whatever.
Anyway I relate more to the modern gods that choked on their own vomit or were eliminated by the CIA.

Yeah, on a side note. If anyone actually wants to talk about the whole wife of Christ thing please go to the original thread made by Minimalist that Grene shamelessly ripped off.
Don't humour him.
