Entertainment People Travel http://gorgeous-g.blogdrive.com/archive/154.html Sat, 27 May 2006 18:00:25 GMT i have moved to a new blog. visit me at www.gladyz.wordpress.com if you care. it's still under construction but new entires have been posted. catch ya there! http://gorgeous-g.blogdrive.com/comments?id=154 http://gorgeous-g.blogdrive.com/archive/153.html Sun, 21 May 2006 00:39:59 GMT no, it wasn't watching 'the da vinci code' that made me question faith in general. i read the book two years ago so the plot is nothing new to me. in fact, i was amazed with the many theories the book has presented. as i mentioned in one of my previous entries, i have a few reservations on the teachings of the catholic church, and i am open to the many possibilities deeemed as heretic and to the grain of truths suppressed by the church. why does it matter if Jesus was married to Magdalene (or to any other woman)? and that the union produced offsprings? i do not think less of...

I have...
