Holy Blood, Holy Grail!
Mark may have been Jesus' oldest son!
I saw the documentary on the Holy Grail. Harrison Ford and James Bond rescued it from Dick Cheney.
Ni!
I have seen the book previously. Now I have to buy it. Great post.
Now we see the violence inherent in the system.
Help, Help. I'm being repressed.

The Arthurian grail legends in England, centering on Glastonbury Cathedral, are ancient and very interesting, and have produced an endless number of poems and novels. But as this article says, the provenance of the Grail in Spain is much more likely.
What difference does an old relic make for christianity?
The church is the congregation, our bodies are our temples, and other than the bible, that's all that matters.
relic worshipping is paganism.
Quick question. It seems to me that the people most interested in the grail arent religious. Does it seem that way to any of you?

Thanks. The Holy Grail is in that church in Ethiopia?
It was just a cup that probably got thrown in with the other cups when they cleaned up after the Pass-over. Jesus after his Resurrection was noted to have eaten and drinking several more times at least....what about those cups, hmmmmmmmm?
Wouldn't those utensils be considered more Holy as they were touched by "Resurrected hands"?
I find the grail myths to be distracting superstitions that detract from the truth of Jesus' sacrifice!
DENNIS: Listen -- strange women lying in ponds distributing
swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive
power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some
farcical aquatic ceremony.
ARTHUR: Be quiet!
DENNIS: Well you can't expect to wield supreme executive power
just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!
ARTHUR: Shut up!
DENNIS: I mean, if I went around sayin' I was an empereror just
because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me they'd
put me away!
ARTHUR: Shut up! Will you shut up!
DENNIS: Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system.
ARTHUR: Shut up!
Sorry about the "old woman"
It's been well documented for some time that Halliburton discovered the Grail during Middle Eastern drilling operations in the late 1980's. It was in some need of refurbishing, which took several years as it was buffed and polished numerous times.
When it's full power was restored, it was placed in a lockbox, which, (this is the confusing part), was stolen by Al Gore, who was under the impression that it contained the plan to save Social Security.
Merely possessing the lockbox actually containing the Holy Grail, gave him such power that he nearly won the election of 2000. Had he been able to open the lockbox, things would have gotten really ugly. When he finally gave up all hope of winning, in a Saruman-like fit of anger, he cast the lockbox out of his window, where a lowly peon janitor found it and placed it in a closet in the White House and forgot about it.
Months later, Dick Cheney stumbled across it, noticed the secret Halliburton code on the lock, and was able to open it with the help of his decoder ring.
The Holy Grail now resides on his mantlepiece and confers the power to win elections to whichever Vice Presidential candidate happens to possess it.
I don't have any more time to explain now, but feel free to read all about it at BereanBrain.com
