Let me believe what I want about Bill. You, nor anybody else will ever change my mind. You weren't here, so reserve your judgement. This debate isn't about Bill anyways, it's about Mary Magdalene (incorrectly reffered to as Mary of Magdalene). Judgement is for the righteous. Are you telling me that your so righteous that you can judge me?
Mary Magdalene was branded a whore by your beloved Pope Gregory (no offense to the current pope if he reads this), because she was a threat to the establishment, just like Jesus. Those in power don't want to lose their followers, so they invent stories about potential competition to hide the truth. That is the truth. That is why Jesus taught over and over again to treat your neighbor as yourself. That is the only path to the truth. Otherwise, we continue to take what our leaders for granted, allowing oppression. Why do you think the church is so worried about Mary Magdalene being the wife of Jesus? If we thought that, we might realize that marriage is not something that can only be legitimized by the church, but by faith. Just like baptism. The bible says over and over the the only true baptism is by the Holy Ghost, not water. Jesus only "suffered" John to baptize him, because it was important to John and the people following him. If Jesus hadn't done this, John would've looked like a quack. The church continues to use these tools to bring people into church. And I wouldn't have any problem if the church establishment were truly in it better mankind. But my recent short stint of going to church only showed me that if you don't believe exactly the way the preacher believes, your an outsider. After several weeks of going to church and generously donating, even though we don't have alot of money, they opened up their food bank to the public for a day. I'm not too proud, so I went down to get a bit a free food. And I took Bill with me, because at the time I was supporting him to. Well, they had two rooms. One for the public, and one for "church members". The public room was mostly junk, and the church members room had all the good stuff. They would only let Bill take from the public area, even though he was more in need than me or anybody else there. Not that Bill ever complained. Nor did he ever say anything bad about anybody. But, frankly, what the church did made me sick. They get deals on food to feed the poor and needy, not just church members. I have since quit going to church. Unfortunately, this is the norm. When it comes to going out of our way to help someone, most people don't want to go into this uncomfort zone, even it's the only true way to know Him.
