Sounds wierd. doesn't it? Jewish to christian to pagan.
As an athiest, I see no reason why Jesus shouldn't have got married, and had a child. Anyone who has read the Da Vinci Code may agree.
Theres also the inaccuracies in the Da Vinci code, such as the fact that the Sarah and Mary who purportedly flee to France (Sarah supposedly being the daughter of Jesus) are in fact a different Mary and Sarah (and Sarah is infact a slave).
Also consider the fact that the evidence for "Holy Blood and Holy Grail" was revealed as fabricated in the 80's. Carbon dating indicated that the dossier alleging Da Vinci as head of the cult was not old enough.

I can tell you that all the contemporary literature (i.e. the Da Vinci Code) asserting that he did, is wrong. The sources and supposed evidence are either speculative, highly unlikely or just completely spurious.
P.S. Sorry i meant to say "you" i dont know where "use" cam from.

I hate the Da Vinci Code.
It's a crap book that is heavily plagiarised from various sources. It's not a good literary work. Go read something worthwhile. Also, basing any real belief off it is like trying to learn about cryptography by reading Digital Fortress (I tried reading it but my brain shut down 40 pages in, no clue what the hell he's talking about).
