Holy Grail VortexPage 2 of 2    (1, 2)
OK Bro, I'll behave. You've been a pretty good sport. Let me give you a straight answer.

I watched both vids (some of the first, it's 2 hrs dude!) and I have to tell you a lot of it is conspiracy theories (in the broadest sense) and worst of all, mostly pseudoscience.

They use vague but scientific-sounding terms to give what is essentially a primitive religion respectability. "Energy Vortex" sounds more respectable than "Whirlpools of Pixie Dust". Energy is not a catch-all term for non-corporeal things, its something specific that can be kept in a battery. Its the philosophical equivalent of the electric weight loss belts.

Don't wish to believe, wish to be convinced.

I used the term "Holy Grail Vortex" because I saw it in a few peoples websites and videos.


I would imagine it has to do with the myth that the cup that Jesus drank from at the last supper was transported to France.

One of the problems (among many) with people who expound on these "theories" are that they lack a true understanding of history and myth.

First, for Bible believers, there is no scripture that places importance on said cup. The myths that have arisen from the grail are, at best, pseudographical in nature--an afterthought by much later writers. The idea of the grail is primarily associated with the legend/myth of Arthur. In fact, the grail didn't enter written accounts until circa 1200 CE--which is a LONG time after Jesus reportedly lived.

Why would a vortex by represented by a REALLY iffy "holy" cup?

It just doesn't make sense--oh, wait, to people who buy into this . . . never mind.

I believe this will be my last post on this for I have grown tired of the subject.
