Um...no, no it's not. Her reputation is an amalgamation of more than one character within the Bible text.

Very true. He was immaculately conceived by God in Mary's womb. Not born.
oh so if not born then the process of getting him out of the womb would be called ?????

certain older myths talk about a cauldron/pot that had special powers and to be in its presence one had to prove them self worthy,
The" romantic" holy grail is indeed mention in the "modern" Arthur legend or the two legends wowed into one. The tale of Camelot and thetale of the knights quest for the holy grail

If you are going by the Da Vinci Code, there are like 60 or 70 accounts of Christ other then just the four gospels, and the Catholic Church removed them.

If it is true, I'd like to see the other accounts. Does anybody have access to them? (Assuming Dan Brown was correct, of course)

Besides, The Davinci Code is fiction. Even Dan Brown claims as much. Taking religious and historical theories from a work of fiction, however commercially successful, is never a good thing.

But you aren't the only ones. That church is the book/movie where the tomb was purportedly buried got swamped with tourists demanding to see the stuff that is in the book....without realizing that the church actually exists, but everything else was simply made up.

I love The Da Vinci Code, but NO Mary Magdalene was not a prostitute.

I hated that book. As well as the legions of FOOLS who believe the "facts" about the "Priory of Sion."

BTW: I do agree, however, with the sentiment from the novel (and from other, more reputable sources) that her r么le was heavily distorted by the Catholic Church, who amalgamated her person with that of the whore whom Jesus forgave.

BTW2: Jesus was a Jew. 馃槺

And it's Jesus and the Jews for the win!

If you listen to her when it comes to the history of Christianity, she'll suprise you with what she knows.

*edit: that sounds like a left-handed complient. It wasn't meant as such.
