I watched this and found much of the proof very compelling. I was really pissed that they showed it once then there were over 7 listings for encore showings on Discovery and Discovery Times, but they never did show it again. I don't know if it was from pressure or what.
I really failed to understand why people were so freaked about this. As someone who always questioned whether there really was a person named Jesus, I found it more a matter of confirmation that he really had existed. The only ones I can see that would have to even make a firm change of dogma are the Catholics because of the entire celibacy of the priesthood issue. Even though it is well recorded that it was more because the church was losing vast land holdings to inheritance. Hell, popes were all married until Nicea. I'd think that for a person with faith, to find the Jesus was married, had children, and left some physical remains on Earth shouldn't change anything. It doesn't rule out in any way his divinity.
The arguments surrounding this and the reasons behind them outline everything I hate about organized religion. People are more determined to hold onto something that a bunch of church elders teach as the only way it could possibly be than to get a deeper understanding and more information regarding their deity on Earth. People really need to separate faith and religion more.
