What, exactly, is the appeal of the Da Vinci Code? Is it because I'm Jewish? It's a vast and ancient conspiracy to protect the secret of... some people. Some perfectly ordinary people, who happen to be descended from Jesus. They don't need to be placed in positions of authority across the globe to avoid the apocalypse, they don't have magic jesus powers; they're just people.

I mean, any credible student of the bible will tell you that, given Jewish culture at the time and the way Jesus is described, the man was definately married, with about fifteen kids, and given the way stories tend to change over time, it was almost definately Mary Magdalen.

So what's the big deal? Now at Borders it's descendants of Jesus this and descendants of Jesus that. It's absurd.

Yeah, but anyone that suggested it would have been a witch. Ah, Christianity. So much fun.
