I recently came across the following description of “The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail”: “history, mystery, secrets and adventures” – what better series of adjectives can better or more adequately describe this worthless junk of a book that's captured imaginations and turned a segment of the world's population into its obedient servants!

The common denominator or archetype of Christianity is its adherence to “Original Sin”, this being the reason why Misogyny is found within original Christianity. Here we had a trio of dimwits describing it as the complete opposite – and other authors soon followed – Laurence Gardner, Tim Wallace-Murphy and Dan Brown (who plainly described his novel as based on fact on his website) to name only three – none of which were seemingly aware that the “Line of David” in Judah/Israel was annihilated in 586 BC. That also included the many critics of “Holy Blood” as well!

The annihilation of the “Line of David” in 586 BC will not be found in any simple-minded coffee table books, but instead within the pages of specialised Scholarly textbooks such as the latest one by Shelley L. Birdsong, “The Last King(s) of Judah: Zedekiah and Sedekias in the Hebrew and Old Greek Versions of Jeremiah 37(44):1-40(47):6” (Mohr Siebeck, Tübingen, Germany, 2017; prices around £84-£90 for Kindle or over €198 for Library Editions from its Publisher).

The theme of “history, mystery, secrets and adventures” will ALWAYS be far more popular than dry facts that never become addictive or capture public imaginations.

The very nature of God itself, whether described as “He”, “She” or “It” has always been a figment of the human imagination and fantasy, around which all the secrets of existence can be found structured within the framework of this concept. It is always subjective in nature, never objective.
