3rd or 4th-century document called "The Gospel of Judas" was launched upon an unsuspecting world yesterday by no less a biblical authority than the National Geographic magazine in Washington. Its contents were "explosive", according to Mario Roberty, president of the Swiss foundation which now owns the ancient papyrus manuscript. \n\nSo as the heat faded from the television lights at the press conference, has 2000 years of orthodox Christianity been overturned? Well, not quite. But it was all jolly interesting, for those who love that sort of thing.\n\nHalf of the 62-page codex, written in Coptic script, is devoted to an account of the final days of Jesus Christ written from the viewpoint of the man who has for two millennia been excoriated as Christ's deadly betrayer. The text begins: "The secret account of the revelation that Jesus spoke in conversation with Judas Iscariot three days before he celebrated Passover..."

the templar knights were the ones that protected and found holy relics.  i know somewhere a few of the disbanded templars' familys later formed the free masons, but ive never heard of the bilterburgers.

You specifically asked about the Knights Templar as portrayed in the book and the movie DaVinci Code.  The only bit of unproven information mentioned about the Knights Templar was their connection with the Priory of Sion.  All of the rest of the story of the Knights tends to be correct.  Founded in Jerusalem at the close of the first crusade and given the ruin of the Temple of Solomon for their headquarters.  Given carte blanche by the Pope to raise money and gained tremendous power throughout the time of the later crusades.\n\nThe Priory of Sion, however, was exposed as a hoax at least as it comes down to the modern era.  If there was such an organization that started the Knights Templar it is yet to be proven to me a Modern Knight Templar in good standing.

Oh, Dude! I thought I was the only one who saw the irony in the cross as a symbol of faith! I'd rather focus on Jesus with the lambs and children than a reminder of when Jesus was cruelly maimed. For an example, I like Stevie Ray, but I would never wear a mangled-up helicopter charm to honor his memory.....

Ive heard of christians that convert people at gunpoint. in my opinion thats a true christian (TM)  they have done that since Roman times and they will never stop being that way. the Mafia came from Rome and so did christianity. i dont think thats a coincidence.

It does not bother me in the slightest.  How can such tyranny have come from a true Christian?  That's not Love, that's not how Jesus would ever want people to act in His precious name.\n\nRather, those who participated in such heinous deeds were users of the faith for their own political agenda's and had no real love for Christ.  They have nothing to do with me.

I have to disagree in that Robin of Loxley was a returning Crusade Knight who as you know probably slaughtered many Muslims in his travels. His robbing from the rich and giving to the poor is Myth. He was mostly interested in getting his own expropriated property back from the usurper to the Crown while King Richard the Lion Hearted was being held hostage. Mohammed ( Peace be Upon him ) was a prophet, which is vastly different from the what so-called Robinhood was about.

The CIA, the mob, and Lee Harvey Oswald. Oswald cannot be left out of the equation and plenty of non-military people are involved in covert doings.  However I think he was just the fall guy. Why did Jack Ruby kill him before he could say anything? John Kennedy was a threat to other political people. Robert Kennedy was a threat to the mob as Attorney General. The unions controlled by the mob, especially the teamsters, helped put Kennedy into power with their votes. When Bobby starting going after the mob they felt betrayed because Joe Kennedy was courting them behind the scenes to help elect John. The Warren Commission never had all the facts which makes their report a moot finding. I doubt we will ever know.

Dan Brown is not Catholic, not a priest, and is married. \n\nWhen asked if he was a Christian, he replied, "Yes," with a long explanation (see his FAQs below).\n\nWith love in Christ.

This book, Holy Blood/Holy Grail, has been around since the late seventies, I being a teenager of that era remember watching the authors talk about the book on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, it stirred up the talk then and has never stopped. I too have read The DaVinci Code whwich was good but try reading the nostic gospels such as The Gospel of Thomas which they mention in the movie Stigmata and then watch Stigmata which is excellent! It stars Patricia Arquette and Gabriel Bryne. Check out the History and Discovery channels which always have programs devoted to these subjects ( nostic gospels, the Holy Grail, Knights Templar, The Davinci Code). It's always good to search for answers.

Hi captain, I have got some thing for you which goes down to early history.\n\n" Charles only spared the lives of those Saracens[Muslims] who consented to be baptised, the rest he put to the sword."--[History of Charles the Great and Orlando, by Turpin, Vol-I, ch-ii, pg-5]\n\n"....460 years later, when the Holy land reverted to the Christian rule of crusading knight of Europe, the oriental Christians regretted the tolerating Govt. of the Arabian Khalifs."--[Rise and Fall of Roman Empire- GIBBON]\n\n"....A bloody sacrifies was offered by mistaken votaries to the God of the Christian resistance might provoke, but neither sage nor sex could mollify, thier implacable rage, they indulged themselves 3 days in a promisenous massacre. After 70,000 muslims had been put to the sword and the harmless JEWS had been burned in thier Synogogue, they could still reserve a multitude of captives whom interest or lassitude persauded them to spare."--[Rise and Fall of Roman Empire- GIBBON]\n\nThe critical Gibbon coclusively proves that, "...to his Christian subjects, Mohammad readily granted security of thier persons, the freedom of thier trade, the property of thier goods and the toleration of thier worship. This profitable principle of toleration was observed with more or less strictness, not only by all the immediate successors of the Prophet, but over the whole period of Arabic ascendency."--[Rise and Fall of Roman Empire- GIBBON] \n\nOn the other hand..........\n\n"....when Jerusalem capitulated to Khalif Omer, the inhabitants of the vanquished city were left in possesion of thier worldly goods, and allowed the freedom of worship. A special quarter of the city was allotted for the residence of Christian population with thier Patriarch and his clergy."--\n[Rise and Fall of Roman Empire- GIBBON]\n\n"....And Islam was tolerant not simply to the Jews but also to the Christians. The Christian church in muslim Spain was given large lands and considerable revenues, christian envoys were recieved with courtesy and allowed to take away relics of christian saints and martyrs from the muslim territory. GIBBON says in his Decline and Fall [of Roman Empire], that muslim rulers even transcribed an Arabic version of the canons of the councils of Spain for the use of BISHOPS in the Moorish kingdom. Haroon al-Rashid, the hero of the "Arabian Nights", planted in his kingdom a large number of schools, the head of these schools, his Director of Education, was a chritian named John."--[ The Spirit and Struggle of Islam by Prof. T.L.Vaswani, Ganesh & Co., Madras-1921]\n\nYou can judge it yourself as to whether muslims inflicted more violence or the Christians ? \n\nAnd you know about modern history and who is responsible for killing lacs of people in Hiroshoma and Nagasaki, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan..
