I don't think anyone is horrified by it, but the claim that he was married needs to have some evidence to back it up. Christ's mother, father, and siblings were documented, so why wouldn't a wife and child if he had them? Seems like a pretty huge omission to me, especially since they believed him to be God.
Your statement brought me back to the original point of the thread and of my outside conversation that sparked it. The fact of whether or not Jesus was married is irrelavant. The whole theological point was that Jesus could have gotten married had kids and STILL been the perfect sinless sacrifice for the sins of man. For some reason most Christians have an apoplexy (I think that's the word I'm looking for) at the very idea.
Also do you have a reference to Jesus' siblings. While I have no doubt that Mary and Joseph had other children, I don't remember any specific biblical reference.
