[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 941479, member: 72205"] I appreciate Heineken probably know this and has his own interpretation. You also have to take into the account Mary Magdalene was a particularly important figure in Jesus' life and then was quite clearly smeared by the Catholic Church so the most prominent woman within Jesus' story (and mentioned more than any apostle) was not considered important. Should note I'm not religious I just find the subject interesting, how do people align their beliefs with a contradictory book where most was not written at a time where the principal actors were alive. Its also interesting the amount of who profess to a religion who don't follow the teaching of their particular sect and outright ignore them. I'm in agreement with you though I despise the religion defense for being able to spout hatred. Going back to Heineken I have no issue our laws are based of Christianity, Jesus (if his teachings are real) had a good philosophical base about loving your fellow man and being good to people. However we must also accept we live in 2019 and many of those teachings are outdated and we can't use religion as a way of updating out philosophical outlook. Bishop's in the House of Lords is one many many issues with the Lords and its legitimacy. I appreciate the difference of opinion is I treat the bible (and other holy texts) as a book to get philosophical understanding and others see it written universal truth. [/QUOTE]
