Illuminati (33rd Degree)

Who's eager to see this movie?

I didn't really care much for the book, really, but I love this kind of thing so I'm into it. I liked the book "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" and that's what really kicked off the recent popularity of the Jesus and Mary Magdalene idea. What's most interesting to me really, are the Nag Hammadi texts concerning Mary. That's the real deal. But the (DaVinci Code book and the) movie expounds on the same thread, so I gotta see it. Besides, Ron Howard directed it, and Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou (Amélie) are in it so it has to be good.

I tried reading the book; but it seemed so mysterious I had to put it down.

I'll go see it. I think this will be the biggest hit of the summer.

Well, people like "secrets", and deep inside don`t like authorities (religion)...interestingly, many which don`t believe in Christianity and The Bible have no problem to believe in the obscure texts, cults and blasphemous - propaganda...

But, I didn`t read the book and won`t see the movie. Those "secrets" are known from various cults and freemasonry, and this book/film is their "swan`s song", IMO. Boring.

The book makes a story of weaving these elements together, with a fair bit of artistic license thrown in.

I understand how you feel, no offense intended on my part.

I always thought the Priory of Sion thing was really low, stupid actually. Likewise, I think it foolish to include that part in any story, fictionalized or not. Throw in the Templars, make a story about Illuminati or something but don't use a group that is known to be a facade.

But the Nag Hammadi texts are very interesing to me, as are the texts in the Dead Sea Scrolls. What do you think of those?

And what's with that church in France at Rennes-le-Château?

Hey, I didn`t think about you or anyone who is interested in these things, it can be very interesting. I thought about people who spit on Christian religion and make money that way.
We talked about those texts before - I`m no expert in (Church) history, these texts are (oficially) abandoned for some reasons, but many parts of them are very interesting, for example "Gospel of Thomas".
The history of Templars, their rise and fall (and reasons) are very fascinating. I didn`t mentioned, but this "Wall of Fortress Town" I`ve sent a pictures of is probably made by them, plus a "St Martin" church in near town. There`s a Templars heraldic in the church from 13th century...
