I know this is completely off the topic, but it kind of makes me think of all this kerfluffle about The DaVinci Code.

All those folks who are up in arms about it somehow destroying the faithful and all that. It seems to me if they've got faith it should take a great deal more than a poorly made, poorly acted movie made from a mediocre murder mystery.

I don't know if you're old enough to remember when The Exorcist came out, but there was a lot of the same nonsense going on. Everyone believed in Satan all of a sudden. All it took was a little girl coughing up some pea soup and voila! everyone believed.

Not only that, but the whole 'demonic possession' thing took off like a rocket.

Faith is supposed to be just that. Faith. Didn't Jesus say something like "Blessed are those who do not see, but still believe"? Does it really only take a movie to 'shake' someones faith?

If that's all it takes it's hard for me to believe they were all that faithful in the first place.

Nice chatting with you.

one is blaspheming a church, the other is exhibiting films adaptation of an out of control exorcist, but there are exorcisms, the devil is real, he may not make your head go all around, but the rest is only common sense, get it , Satan does exist, but the code does not, it is all fabrications and lies, just like the New Age German Volk who aided Hitler in persuading Germans it was time to call the final solution. some are enlightened, given insight, with some, it is bypassed..........
