Of Finding Another Magdalene Post And Being Not Afraid To Get It Wrong
I was searching Technorati for blogs that post Magdalene-related articles and came across a Myspace blog post. Check out the full article here. The post was written by The Native King. It’s not informative but, rather, I appreciate the sincerity emanating from it and the author’s willingness to further discuss the topic.
Here’s the comment I left in his site:
Yeah, I’ve been greatly interested in the Magdalene eversince I read the Da Vinci Code book. But, prior to reading the book, I’ve already formed some vague hypothesis regarding the mystery surrounding the Magdalene. That was because of the Goddess religions that I read when I was still in College and because of my Religious Studies subject. I took into reading the Bible closer and found none that would be proof that Magdalene was indeed a prostitute. So, it was just some pope’s mistake to label Magdalene as a whore. That’s the time I realized that a lot of things taught to me since I was young are all lies. And so my quest for true knowledge and truth is on.
I agree with you the people who fear things they don’t understand wouldn’t want to hear those words you said or by anyone who will be saying similar things, for that matter. As in the movie Matrix, these people have been too comfortable with the System that they are unwilling to challenge it further. I pity those. Even if it would turn out that I got it wrong, I’d still be proud that I questioned the old beliefs. Because by then, I can rightfully claim that I gained the knowledge by actively searching for it and not by passively receiving whatever is shoved at me.
