Re: Merry Christmas & Happy new year -- off-topic indeed!
You might find this equally 'authoritative' source of information:
http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/esp_sociopol_mj12_9.htm
( Note the reference under the topic RELIGION )
The point being that you can believe whatever you want to believe, that
one source of 'authoritative' references are probably as good as others
when it comes to religion and lore, and the Bible is no exception--one 'belief'
not really being any more credible than the next one. Plus if you're a writer,
there's so much good stuff to use for material. The Da Vinci Code movie is
coming, I can't hardly wait! Maybe they will make a TV show out of it.
