Let's Play: Who Is a Descendant of Jesus Christ? (in the DaVinci Code)

News stories and early reviews have indicated that when "The DaVinci Code" was screened in Cannes recently, movie goers guffawed at the film's revelation of the identity of one of Jesus's modern day descendants. In that spirit and to "honor" the film's release tommorrow, let's speculate as to who the film reveals as Christ's modern day descendant!

As a practical matter, about 25% of Americans are descendants of the particular families pointed to in the story.

Sure ain't me. Best I can do is turn beer into urine.

Blythe is not his real name, it's the name of the WW2 soldier who returned to Arkansas to find his wife 3 months pregnant.

You're expecting logic? This is Dan Brown we're talkin' about...

Ask and you shall receive: (good guess, by the way...)

[Petronski]

Well, since he's one of the few critics who actually like this thing, I think the identity of the living descendent of Christ is obvious:

Oooh! Bad guess!! Particularly given that the host is Mormon. Thanks for playing, though!!

I think everybody is wrong. Most of these guesses are males. I think the "chosen" one must be French. Bridget Bardot. You heard it here first.

The rumor is that the real father of Bubba was a potato-nosed politician from Arkansas.

[Reaganesque]

LOL!

>>Who Is a Descendant of Jesus Christ?<<

Do you mean the Christ in the movie or the real one?

The one who was born on the Xmas/winter solstice or the one born in the fall of the year?

The one that said the only sign he was the messiah was that he would be three days and three nights in the grave or the one that was buried on Friday afternoon and was no longer in the grave less than three days later on Sunday morning?

Folks are free to believe whatever fairy tale floats their boat. It is clear the movie is just one more story. There is only one Savior and the movie is not about him at all.
