Da Vinci Code

[cavylove]

i might be going to see it on saturday with midget gem and miss z. it should be good.

I am one of the few people who thought the Da Vinci Code was boring. Lots of academic knowledge and 2 superheroes - each chapter ends in a cliffhanger but you know these two will get out ok.

But- of course I will see the movie. It will have some nice effects and that little bit of action pressed into two hours can make up for some more excitement

I don't understand the hype of it, honestly. Its a fictional novel, is it not? And so many people take it literally.. hehe. Anyway it bored me, soooo

It's the fact that it is shown as "fact" not a work of fiction that has some of us riled up. Plus the "facts" that he talks about are totally wrong!!!! If I could sue him for slandering My Lord, I'd sure do it. You wouldn't see this type of thing written about Mohammad or Buda.

I don't see why people should feel free to play fast and loose with my religion.

I am in no way, shape, or form, critisizing your view or religion but I find what he writes very interesting. I myself have many doubts and questions about any religion. And I was very intrigued about many of the things in the book, I went and researched everything from it, and I really do think that Mary Magdalene is in that Lord's supper painting. Whether it's truth or not, I think it's absolutely fascinating.

You know what... I TOTALLY agree. Remember that comic that came out in a newspaper and how much trouble it caused?

Oh, well.. this may be wrong for me to say, as I don't know exactly what the da Vinci Code is (from what I've seen on documentary commericals like "Jesus had a very special relationship with Mary Magdalene"), these people have challenged the Lord and questioned in Him in such a way that they would be considered as those who turned their back on God and who deserve no place in His Kingdom.

I don't know exactly what the da Vinci Code is (from what I've seen on documentary commericals like "Jesus had a very special relationship with Mary Magdalene"),

Yes, that Jesus and Mary were married, that Mary was pregnant, and that Mary is the Holy Grail. Also that it is Mary beside Jesus in the portrait of The Last Supper.

If it was Mary in the portrait, then John is not there. Um, hello? That would not make any sense - not to mention that in those times, famous painters would be paid extra to include the buyer's face, or his wife, in the portrait. It has been mentioned that John in the portrait has a striking resemblance to the buyer's wife.....

Kinda like Photoshop in oil?

Unless there was a photographer from Life Magazine. a news crew from CNN, and Geraldo there to do the behind the scenes interviews-the bible is as much fact as the DVC.

Not to challenge Christians/RCs on the board.....

The DVC is fiction. it challenges belief.

Belief is something that cannot be proved with facts.

I can see where the RC church is up in arms about the whole deal...


Now pardon me, I need to go whip myself.

[Maresche]

I don't see how it is being portrayed as fact. It's a movie and, as most movies are, fiction.

You worded that so well. I like this verse from the bible:

2Thess. 2:11: And for this cause God shall send
them strong delusion, that they should
believe a lie.
and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness

Hmm, makes ya think?

Oh, wow, I agree with you 100%. I mean everyone will question their own religion at one point or another, but when people try to disprove Christianity to me USING references from a FICTIONAL book, it just... ahhhhh it really aggravates me! I mean, sure that may be their belief as I have mine, but its just.. the fact of things. You're right; if a book were made in the same context as the Da Vinci Code about Muhammed or Buddah, h*ll would break loose and people would NOT be happy. But, oh, its just Christanity, so its ok

Sorry guys don't take offense to that, it just irks me and I'd rather rant in a mature environment than to some who will bash me for my beliefs/opinions

You hit the nail on the head - I totally agree with you.

On a side note, Muslims are supposedly upset about the movie as well, since they consider Jesus to be a prophet from God.

I really hope you don't take offense to what I have to say. Just please hear me out and open an ear.

I agree with the part about trying to disprove a religion with references from a fictional book (not the specific book, though). That's kind of silly. However, if you know and believe it's wrong then why bother or worry? I don't think the books was written from a standpoint of a believer in Islam or Buddhism. I believe there are other religions that come into play. However, not everyone has inferred what those religion(s) might be. Look, I don't mean to offend but religion is *faith* and, in turn, faith is not fact. That's what make it faith. You believe or you don't.

In any case, I don't think they're trying to provoke anybody with this movie. It's just a movie. It, itself, is not reality but the ideas it contains are as viable as any religion.

I don't think it will be a good movie. Tom Hanks sucks.

Yours is not the only religion in the entirety of belief systems that have endured hardships and "bashing" (If you want to call it that). Trust me, I have seen a lot of "bashing" of Mohammed as of 9/11 (Not necessarily cause by but definitely since then.).

It's not *meant* to play fast and loose and whatnot with your religion. Besides, I highly doubt the bigwigs in H'wood are doing it to irritate a nice chunk of people. I am positive that there are christian people in Hollywood that had a say in the production and overall being of this motion picture... so... calm. Everything will be fine. Don't watch it if it offends you so. Remember, that doesn't mean other people can't watch it and enjoy it (even christian folks).
