People are willing to believe anything but the Bible.
The judgement will truly be a terrible day for many, when
they come face to face with the Truth they have purposely
ignored.

Now someone can write a book about the radical vestiges of hedonistic pagan cult (oddly not unlike today's liberal 'secular humanists') infiltrating the Church with the ultimate goal of destroying it by pomulgating misinformation to a gullible public.

And any movie that puts Jesus at the center of a cultural debate, he said, "is something Christians ought to be interested in."

I read Holy Blood, Holy Grail when it first came out and I got the point, it was simply an attempt to deny the Resurrection of Jesus Christ which the Apostle Paul asserted was the basis of the Christian faith. I never read the DaVinci Code which was a rip off of Holy Blood Holy Grail. I certainly do not think Opie teamed with Forrest Gump can bring anything to this sensational blasphemy that this Christian could be interested in.

I haven't read the book nor do I plan to see the movie. But I won't be protesting against it. That just draws more attention to it and more people will want to see it.

What does surprise me is the number of people who believe everything this novel has to 'sell.' Dan Brown can't even get the dates surrounding the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls right. (That's an easily googled fact. Guess he thinks google is a conspiracy too.)

I won't be seeing it. Nor will I be seeing any more movies with Tom Hanks, or movies directed by Ron Howard.

What was controversial about The Passion of Christ?

That it was made outside the studio system?

That it did so well?

That it was shunned by the Academy of Motion Picture Sciences?


Da Vinci Code - 43 million copies in print

Bible - 166,000 distributed a day

If people knew their Bibles, The Da Vinci Code wouldn't even rate a snort.

I have come to accept that no matter what you do, in this politically correct world, there will be somebody somewhere that will be upset about whatever you do.

At first I wasn't going to see the movie but I'm starting to think that this will be an opportunity to witness to non-believers. Some people would go see this movie that otherwise would not go see The Passion.

I dare Ron and Tom to make a movie titled "The Mohammed Code" in which Mohammed procreates with a flock of goats. Their progeny resemble Orcs and try to dominate the world until a superweapon conceived by a Jew destroys their evil power center. The rejoicing world sends out for pizza and beer.

I read the book. A fun read, made the time pass quickly on the cross-country flight to visit my daughter--but it isn't a history book--or great literature. But the plot's the same as the plot for Digital Fortress, Angels and Demons, and Deception Point (Dan Brown's first three novels).

People who get their idea of reality from mediocre fiction need to get a grip and a life...

[najida]

I honestly wish some aspects of the book were true. The idea changed some concepts for me in a positive way.....

[longtermmemmory]

The more I hear about this movie the less I care to see it .

No boycott, just not interested in yet another feminist fantasy to try and do revisionist history.

(ironic that it all this davinci code stuff started with a fenchman trying to create a fake linage to the french aristocracy in the 20th century)
