Everything's got some sort of Da Vinci tie in now. I think there's even a TV show called that. And it's all really annoying. So I finally submitted and got a little education on all the hullabaloo. Here's the Cliff notes version:
Jesus got horny and knocked up Mary. Since then there has been a secret(!) bloodline of Jesus. This bloodline is actually the true Holy Grail, and has existed among us all this time. Great nobles throughout the ages have known and guarded this secret, with Da Vinci dropping sly clues in his art.So is any of this true? Well, yes and no. On a factual basis, it's a joke. The genius lies in making it a fascinating and captivating tale. The mixture of fact and fiction makes for a cogent explanation - and therein is the key. Why do crave an explanation of our own history?
This is where the truth comes in. Yes, we have suppressed truth over the ages. We hunger for it and it's a gnawing ache upon our souls. Surely there is more to life than this! But the truth we suppress is that of our own failures, of us turning our backs on the treasures of life. We have taken the dream God gave us and made it a nightmare. But that version won't sell 40,000,000 copies.
