Somehow I think Christianity will survive this assault.
Just a warm-up to test the faith -- to be followed by a greater test by the muzzies.
I agree. While I have no intention of seeing this movie, and it may influence the...um...uninformed to disbelief, I worry that all the talk of boycotts aren't being counterproductive.
When "Last Temptation of Christ" came out, all the furor and hubbub caused more people to see it out of curiosity. I fear the same thing may happen here--more so, as "Da Vinci" is a more mainstream picture.
I don't believe the Catholic Church, specifically, or Christianity as a whole has anything to worry about from Ron Howard and Tom Hanks.
Christianity will survive this (has survived much worse), but think of the souls that will be lost through believing what is put on the screen. Ever notice how some people think they know everything about a subject after seeing a movie? For the most part, what they "know" isn't even the truth. Like Henry Kissinger is reported to have said about Jimmy Carter, "it isn't that he doesn't know, it's that he doesn't know that he doesn't know."
I read the book. I am Catholic.
It was a great novel, a story, PRETEND. No where does it say it's a fact, or a theory even.....just entertainment.
