I love your analysis. I haven't read the boook, and it's unlikely I ever will, but I think you've adressed just everything I'd hate in it.
For me, Jesus' humanity is proved how he got mad and threw the merchants out of the Temple. And how he was scared before getting captured and begged to be spared by God. That is human.
As for Mary Magdalene, I think the fact that Jesus sent her to the maleapostles to announce His resurrection is proof enough that she should be considered a true apostle. *shrugs*
I hate these insane conspiracy theories. They're stupid, and their only goal seems to be to make the person who thinks them out look smart or important. Besides, they're copying each other all the time.
