  • hello there naomi,

    no i haven't seen the Davinci Code, but i have read it.

    It's pretty interesting, but i don't believe in all of it.  But i do believe in some of it, like Jesus Marrying mary magdaline.  Then again, we can't really be sure, it is a fiction book, that's why we should read Holy Blood, Holy Grail, and look on the History Channel.  :)
