text: Why does this kind of nonsense puzzle people?\n\nLook, the whole Jesus story reads a little too much like old Greek legends.  Hercules was half human, half god.  No big deal.\n\nThe fact that Jesus was god, or semi-god, but still could be killed by a bunch of Jews/Romans...what kind of god is that?  Or that people make a fuss if Jesus did something actually human like had sex or fathered children...why?  I would not worship some god that appeared to be human and ended up getting killed as a virgin in his mid 30s.  \n\nThe inane "Da Vinci Code" crowd, of course thinks Jesus's children were the Merovingians, some Frankish (French) kings with long hair.  Whop de de.  I imagine if Jesus had children, they would like middle eastern kids--like Israelis or Palestinian kids.  But would they have their daddy's "magic"?  Leave me alone.  It doesn't matter.  Look outside.  This world is a mess.  If Jesus had kids, they didn't do a very good job against the forces of evil.
