I'm currently halfway through the Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown, and I must say I am reading the section where 2 characters are explaining what the Holy Grail actually is (not the cup Christ drank out of at the Last Supper!) and was completely blown away. I was hoping someone might be able to shed some light on the truth, whether or not what the book talks about is true or not. If you haven't read this book, you must go buy it, its an excellent read that incorporates a fictious story around historical fact (I think). It talks about Mithras and other various religions that Christianity has borrowed from. Also it talks about Constantine and how there were many gospels for the bible but Constantine, in an attempt to convert the pagans to Christianity, had a meeting (the name of the meeting eludes me now) and actually decided on which gospels to put in the bible! They had to gather and burn the other gospels that made Christ out to be human and not a divine being. Also there was a vote at this time to determine how divine Christ should be! This is amazing info I've never heard of before. Can someone shed some more light on this?
