Stop the Da Vinci Code! [Protest -- from being made into a movie]
Tradition, Faith, Property (TFP) ^ | 06-22-05 | John Ritchie

Posted on 06/22/2005 2:22:59 PM PDT by Salvation

    Columbia Pictures plans to turn the novel The Da Vinci Code into a major Hollywood movie.... and lots of people have sent me emails urging me to do something about it.

    I agree. We do need to do something. That’s why I am launching a national e-protest to stop this book from becoming a movie. And you can participate by sending your protest e-message to Columbia Pictures. Click here.

    This is what people will see if we fail to stop The Da Vinci Code:

    • Jesus and Saint Mary Magdalene married.... with children…
    • Saint Mary Magdalene as the first pope.
    • The Gospel and the holy mysteries of our Faith mocked (endangering the Faith of many especially our young people)
    • The Catholic Church.... a cruel power that betrayed Christ and hid His teachings from the faithful.

    That’s why it is so important you send your protest before this book becomes a movie! And before the film begins production at the end of June. So please send your personal message of e-protest to Columbia Pictures now by simply clicking here…

    We were effective in stopping eBay from selling consecrated hosts online. You saw how we can make a difference!

You are making fools of yourselves.

All you are going to do is create enough publicity to sell more books and make a bigger hit of the movie.

There isn't anyone left who hasn't heard all about the premise of the book, anyway.

I thought is was a silly book.

I also saw sparks of blasphemy therein.

Sorry, can't help you there. Ever.

“I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.” --- Thomas Jefferson, letter to Benjamin Rush, 1800.

Books are the tangible manifestation of the mind of man. So long as it is restricted to thoughts and not action, neither you, I nor anyone else has the right or authority to prevent anything. Literally.

Um, is everyone aware that this is *fiction*?

And a best-selling novel, to boot? There's no way that this film won't be made. It's already started - do you think the studio will stop it?

Spreading lies about matters of historical fact is the most effective form of tyranny. The Hollywood garbage has no legitimacy, -- nearly every movie they produce deserves to be banned along with leaded gasoline and other pollutants.

I realize it's fiction, but how many morons who read the book or see a potential movie will think it is the truth?

Just standing up and speaking out about my disdain for this book and potential movie -- my right, correct?

Ya know, people tried the same thing with "The Passion" . . .

Columbia Pictures would like to thank you, in advance, for all of the free publicity you will be providing this movie.

I have a much simpler solution- just don't watch the tripe you don't like.

At least "The Passion of the Christ" was based on the Gospels!

This is all lies.

Well, it's our responsibility as Christians to be informed well enough to counter fiction with facts. My confidence to do so is unshakeable, and have no need to ban anything or anyone, so long as there is not a physical threat to anyone.

So we simply disagree.

A little on the personal attack side, there, aren't you?

This is all lies.

The people that protested "The Passion" felt the same way.

Personally, I'm of the opinion that there is no such thing as bad publicity when it comes to Christ. If this movie sparks an interest in Jesus in somebody, and they pick up a Bible, they will know the truth. God is too good not to reveal Himself to somebody who really has a desire to know Him.
