Knowing it's fiction, but also knowing that there are plenty of fact based statements taught me so much.
For example, the pagan King who wanted to be loved by all of his people combined the pagan and Christian holidays. But, the best part was finding out that Mary M. was never the harlot she was portrayed. She came from a fine family and she was a valued "friend" of Jesus. The King didn't want her elevated to that position, so he is the one who began the story about her sordid past........But she was so much more.
It just proves one thing we women have ALWAYS known......We have always been the driving force behind you guys. Where would you be without us????? Ha Just kidding.
