Labret's answer:
For sure.
Edited to (try) to fix the quotations.
I wonīt say I believe or I donīt believe in the existence of Jesus (though I say that I loved Brianīs Life, by the Monthy Python).
But I ask you: what difference does it make the appearance now of the tomb of a supposed brother of Jesus, to make you believe or not in the existence of a Jesus Christ?
For centuries, inside the Holy Church, in Jerusalem, anyone can see the tomb of Jesus Himself; right beside the Golgota (the hill where Jesus was crucified), right at the end of Via Dolorosa (the path followed by Jesus carrying the cross; btw, that`s the way it reads in Jerusalem signs: Via Dolorosa, which is exactly the Portuguese translation of Painful Path or Path of Sorrows). I was there a few years ago, any Israeli here can confirm it.
So, I wonder again: why would the recent discovering of the supposed tomb of a supposed brother of Jesus be more influential in your believings than the already undisputed existence of Jesus grave itself?
