Interesting Family Tree,,,,, I would have stayed with the Horse Thieves and Cutthroats.
I don't think all of the Christian religions would have been upset if Jesus did get Married. I think they were upset because someone said Mary was a Whore, was she or wasn't she?
Could have been a Jealous Disciple that started that rumor.
Except the Catholics, who basically have a male dominated church in my view.
But who really cares, Jesus was a Cult Leader in my way of thinking. Religion is Overrated But,,,,, that is,,,, JMHO.
I'm not sure why the notion that Mary Magdalene was a whore would upset them, either. If she had been, then she'd be a perfect example of "salvation", which is exactly what they are supposed to be preaching. Also, I think it was Paul who said in one of his books that "the believing spouse sanctifieth the unbeliever" - now who would be more "believing" or able to sanctify someone than Jesus himself in that religion?
Some folks are funny, stuffy, and take themselves far more seriously than they ought to.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
