For more information refuting the malicious claims of The Da Vinci Code, allow me to pass along a couple of websites suggested by others: http://www.the truthaboutdavinci.com , http://www.davincidelusion.tv . Other suggestions are welcome.

Because of your earlier comments about the upcoming movie, I have included you in this one-time ping.

It's a movie. Like Shrek. I'll see it, and watch it that light.

No need to protect my tender little intellect from fiction.

Interesting websites.

the spiritual body of Christ (i.e. the Church - Christ's bride). Mr. Brown fails to see that a relationship with Mary would make Jesus an adulterer, and thus a hypocrite, since He spoke against adultery.

We're redefining marriage. This a new definition for adultery.

BTW, it is only a movie...and one that makes no claim to be anything other than fictional.

If it had been distributed as a documentary, then it would belong in the Michael Moore wing of discredited film-making. As a fictional work, there is a difference.

Last time I checked, Shrek wasn't hell bent on undermining the foundation of Western civilization.

No problem. The fictional movie about your mother and father is slated for next year.

You might want to read the little bit Dan Brown puts in the beginning of his book.

Not quite: Check Brown's "Facts" page.

I am still working on how much wood could a wood chuck...riddle.

THE DA VINCI CODE MYTH

It's a free country. Feel free.

I am not trying to protect your "little intellect". I am trying to stimulate it.

Just because it is a movie doesn't mean it is morally neutral. To the contrary, movies have a huge impact on our views, values and behavior.

I doubt anyone would be so cavalier if the reputation being maligned was their own or someone they loved.

Besides, even if it is a great movie, how do you feel about financing the radical left within our nation?

Anyway, feel free to take a stab at the riddle. It's every bit as good as any in the story under discussion (IMHO).

The more of these things I see, the more likely I am to spend money to go see it. Just to see what everyone is so mouth-foaming about. Otherwise, I'd wait for a slow night on cable to see it. Threads like these are drumming up a lot of business for this film~

Parents Beware: 'Shrek 2' Features Transgenderism And Crossdressing Themes

(That's right -- the same folks
worried about this movie
were afraid of Shrek . . .)

"Though the Da Vinci Code is a novel, it purports to be based upon historical facts. In an introductory note Brown writes that “all descriptions of documents and secret rituals are accurate.” On an ABC News special Jesus, Mary, and Da Vinci (Nov. 3, 2003), Brown said that he believes the book’s thesis. In an interview on Good Morning America that same day he said that if he were to write a nonfiction piece on these things he would change nothing about what he claimed in the novel (Darrell Bock, Breaking the Da Vinci Code, p. 3)."

I would have thought Ron Howard would be more inclined to take an interest in "Opie Deus" ...

Absolutely. Or they wouldn't spend so much money on them.

I saw Shrek and was not "afraid" of it. But it totally sucked to have little kids exposed to themes of homosexuality without a warning.
