There are many gnostic gospels that were not included in the "definitive" version of the Christian Bible. This happened at the Council of Nicea in the early 4th Century. Some of the gospels are contemporary to Jesus, and some mention marriage and a family.

Mickey Mouse. Don't know if Disney started the idea or picked it up from another (besides accidental Jesus-toast).

As f/ rock slide, doesn't really scream 'Jesus' to me. Looks more cartoon/comix character. Too innocent an expression.

Some people will believe just about anything.
