50. jesus was a man
I thoroughly believe jesus was a man, a great man. Christian mythology is just that, it is a blend of historical fact and mythology. The Bible was written many years after Jesus' death and it was influenced heavily by Catholic Church leaders and Constantine seeking to maintain polticial power. The promoted Jesus as the savior and minimized his normalcy, such as his family and children.

I don't know how or why they chose to ignore his tomb, maybe the Romans didn't know about it, or Jesus followers whitewashed it, or maybe it was too out of the way. Maybe his wife and child died soon after his own death, and they were buried with him.
