I love this comment on her “research”: > [@](#): > > She also watched every Biblical movie she could find, from “The Robe” to “The Passion of the Christ” (“I loved it”). And she dipped into previous novels, from “Quo Vadis” to Norman Mailer’s “The Gospel According to the Son” to Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins’s apocalyptic Left Behind series. Yeah… cause Ben Hur’s really gonna clue you in to how folks actually lived… ---

She’s not a Christian. She’s a Papist. C’mon peoples, get it straight. Could be worse, she could have turned to Scientology. ---
