Suggesting a married Jesus is one thing, but questioning the Resurrection undermines the very heart of Christian belief.
Dan Brown
Image
The Last Supper is supposed to be thirteen men. Who is this woman? Everyone misses it, our preconceived notions of this scene are so powerful that our mind blocks out the incongruity and overrides our eyes.

It's the age-old battle between mind and heart, which seldom want the same thing.
Dan Brown
Image
Force a hand, the voice warned, and it will fight you. But convince a mind to think as you want it to think, and you have an ally.
