There seems to be some pretty good evidence that Mary Magdelene was of royal blood so are we looking at spin...?

You have Constantine fearing the threat of an alternative heir so how better than to say she was a whore?

Unless Jesus was a screaming homosexual then it was deeply frowned upon for a 30 year old Jewish guy in those days not to be married. If he wasn't married then there should have been some justification for that in the gospels.

Leonardo da Vinci in his last supper painting shows a women(surely) at his right hand side.



Why would he risk that?

Cheers!

hun, you do realize that this is nothing new. I was taught this long ago. It's just coming up recently and popularly because of that novel.

Let children come to their own conclusions on the subject(s) as they grow and experience life.

Mezro...forcing shit on people is not educating them...

You choose if you are Confirmed or not. They made us go to a special theology class after school. Sat there and had this guy rip apart all our answers to theological questions and prove over and over again how there was no God and all that. Afterwards you had the option if you wanted to receive the sacrament or not.

The truth hurts.

I explained my points articulately while simultaneously insulting the gene pools that spawned the lack of comprehension so prevelant.

You can get banned for little or nothing at Links if it's Brett's "time of the month". I guess looking like Cherone comes with PMS?

It's called parenting. That's what parents do. Do you have kids?

People have to influence their children on issues of faith, morality, politics, etc. I'd rather influence my daughter than have other children influence her. They've got to have a good moral compass in life, and parents provide it.

My cousin didn't get a good moral compass from his parents. Now, he's in jail for 6 years for breaking into vending machines. Also had a kid of out wedlock at, I believe, 17 years of age. Schlub. Also dropped out of school at 16. Not only did he not get moral guidance, he didn't get any guidance period, and his parents are to blame.

You can tell who's got kids and who doesn't.

Nope. I really have no interest in children but I'm sure it brings joy to those who do.

Mezro...plus a child named "Mezro Jr" would have a tough time at school...
