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.

[Zippy]

No way i will never see iti
it is against my God and my Lord

[Catty1]

Meanwhile, I am ignoring all the DVC book-and-movie hype and enjoying a reread of The Life And Death of Peter Sellers.

Most of it seems to be fact, so far....

[wolf_Q]

I'm confused as to how it is portrayed as fact? It's a FICTION book, in the fiction section. The movie is fiction it's not shown as "based on a true story" or anything to my knowledge.

My opinion is if you don't like ideas portrayed the book or the movie, then don't read/see it. Getting all riled up about it just gives it more attention, which I would think would be the opposite effect those opposed to it would want...

I saw it last night and found it boring. When we got to the theatre, there was a man and two women standing on the curb holding signs, protesting the movie.

Actually there were eye witness accounts and records in the Bible, a FACT that many choose to ignore. John of the book of John and Revoluiton and the 3 letters of John was an apostle of Jesus. He witnessed the crucifiction and also the empty tomb. Matthew was also an apostle of Jesus. Mark was a companion of Peter, also an apostle of Jesus.

Excuse me if I believe their eye witness accounts rather than fables that were made up hundreds (and even thousands) of years after the event!!!!!!!!!!!

[JenBKR]

haha it's getting horrible reviews - who would have guessed it? I've heard that it is Tom Hanks' worst performance,and that it's just plain not an exciting movie.....

I agree.

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?
