Location of Holy Grail, page 1

The Grail is full of Green Jello! (sorry i just wanted the one-liner to see how dumb that looks).

The Da Vinci Code was a good book, but let's not get too tangled up in this.

I have no problem with the idea that Jesus was married and maybe even had children. That's only to be expected from a religious jew. Mary Magdaline helped prepare his body along with his mother, and your wife and mother were the ones who generally would do that I've heard.

The problem is that the idea that Jesus may have been married has been hijacked to make incredible assumptions. In order for the idea that Mary Magdalene is the grail to be the faith-shattering revelation that is represented in TDC, you have to start with the assumption that Christianity is based on truth, and then you have to make several leaps of logic from there.

1. Jesus is devine. I wont say one way or another, but it needs to be remembered that Jesus was a respectable tradesman of noble blood who preached a message of political implications in the years leading up to an attempted Jewish revolution. He could be compared in many ways to our founding fathers here in America- they were respected upperclass tradesmen of certain religious convictions which impacted their opinion towards the government.

2. Mary Magdalene is also devine. This is not necessarily true. Jesus' wife is not necessarily any more a devine manifestation than Einstein's wife is a physicist. What unfulfilled purpose is there in Chrisitianity, except perhaps in Mormon beliefs where the wives of an ascended God give birth to the people under that God. The problems with mormonism speak for themselves though- no offense towards the LDS, but go to the ancient civilization forum and tell them the story that Joe Smith taught (gold tablets in an unknown dialect of egyptian telling a remarkable story about the history of America which native american stories and archaeological records leave little if any room for. And sorry, but i dont have the tablets anymore. On top of all that, Moroni (the one who gave Smith the tablets) would be the only angel named in Christianity whos name does not end in god or "el". The only two in the traditional bible are Michael and Gabriel- Who is like God, and Strength of God, respectively. But I digress.)

3. The devine Mary Magdalene represents a specifically feminine aspect of God, even though Jesus did not represent a specifically masculine aspect. (In fact, in that Jesus is seen by Christianity as "the suffering messiah" through whom people are to be born again, JESUS would be considered the feminine messiah, and the conquering messiah who is expected at Armageddon would be the masculine one).

There are of course others I'm sure, if we pondered long enough. My point is that proving Jesus had a wife and even children is a moot point until you build upon that in a way pertaining to Christianity's core doctrine of salvation by faith.
