Re: What are you reading?

A lot of the theory comes down to comparisons between Jesus and Mary Magdalene, and Orisis and Isis, the Egyptian gods - with the familiar 'resurrection' theme running through both stories.
Yep, it certainly does have some interesting threads; and they are annoyingly enticing! They seem to keep feeding my brain, but making it want to learn more!

I have to say though, that the current book I am reading raises a lot of questions of the religious aspect, and other matters eg Freemasonry etc. Fascinating stuff.
