Have you read 'The Da Vinci Code'? How truly excellent! There is a ton of interesting tidbits for the religious mindset. Ever wonder how the bible came to take its current form? Or maybe wonder if there was something missing? Read this book! Then get a copy of the Dead Sea Scrolls and Nag Hammadi Library (both available at amazon.com). It is even more amazing than I thought, and I've had my doubts about the Catholics for quite a while now.
Maybe this is my calling? I mean, Catholics are great ones for preaching "Do No Evil" yet they constantly subvert themselves! Why? Because the Roman Catholic faith was founded on a lie! Actually, several lies, but one huge one - the Council of Nicea. Cute how one group of 300 plus Emperor Constantine (himself not even a Christian) could dictate the direction of the Church - heck, there wasn't even an 'organized' Church to begin with. And why did they decide to destroy any chance of a woman's role in the church? I mean, nuns? Please! Mary M. was as good as married to Jesus of N., if they weren't in fact married (which I think they were).
So when will the church release the original writings of the 4 'holy' gospels? (As opposed to the gospels not included at Nicea.) Probably never, but if enough emphasis is placed on the Nag Hammadi writings, we may see a dramatic shift.
Where is our mother figure?
