There are idiots everywhere. Some of them advocate intelligent design as science as well.
There is a connection.
I am a Mormon and my mom used Mason jars to can the produce from our garden.
I AGREE that it is, that it's the product of those engaged in the cult of HUMANISM...
No, The Da Vinci Code = A Work Of Fiction Passed Off As Nothing More.
Fiction isn't, afterall, also a product of humanism, just not in the same tense of HUMANISM the false religiosity that is otherwise paganism. On the other hand, THE DA VINCI CODE postulates ("fiction") as to alter, counter theology using names, themes, concepts from Judao-Christianity. This is one case where fiction is a pretense, given that what's fiction to some of us is also profanity. I think the writers understand their paganism, by the way, which implies an intention to mislead.
Fiction as genre does not excuse nor provide special permission to engage in false doctrine -- a pretense to represent that which is not represented -- at least without some clear denouncement of consequences by whatever special permission is assumed. I've heard the two authors involved with THE DA VINCI CODE speak and from what they readily and eagerly admit, they're involved in "religious" perceptions, one of them pretty much describes accuarately what I would describe as "channeling" which is a satanic practice denounced by the Bible.
Why is this always being brought up?
The guy that did that was arrested by a Mormaon Sheriff, Appeared before a Mormon Judge and Jury. Was convicted by the Mormon Jury, and went to prison. What more could you ask?
The Extermination Order, which called for the extermination of all Mormons in Missouri, issued by Governor Boggs, who was the Governor of Missouri, and who was killed in this massacre, was repealed only about 10 years ago.
Nobody was ever prosecuted for all the Mormons killed in Missouri, and Illinois.
We haven't ask that they be, they all have been dead for a hundred years.
Get over it.
Good heavens.
I have a personal connection too.
I have mason jars in my basement.
What is to be done?
That's exactly what I would expect them to say!
The people talking about it like a real part of religious history are practicing humanism.
Happens to be there are some taking this foolishness seriously.
Having a connection is OK if you are willing to acknowledge it, and disclose it.
you obviously werent here for the mormon wars some years back on FR - there was a period where nothing mormon could be mentioned - be it an apologist, or someone critical. A good many people got banned - some nice - some rude....It is largely neutral now - so please leave your victimhood as a persecuted tribe of Levi at the door
Ive pinged the relig mod so he can address your concern of continued persecution and a fellow LDS'er who can also attest to this
I will disclose all.
I am not a Mormon.
I am not a Mason.
I have a kooky uncle who thinks that Freemasons secretly rule this country. And he has mason jars too!
I don't keep the novel on my person, but I know its there. You can look it up for yourself, and if you consider the Catholic Church a bunch of nuts, then we'll just pencil you in as better than the rest of us Christians. We're a bit uptight about something he tries very hard to represent as fact which just happens to pull into question the very center of the Christian faith. He asks us to take these assertions of history as fact, and he draws conclusions that have no such basis.
He may be going straight to the bank, but according to the tenets of my religion, he is leading people away from God, and that's certainly his decision. I personally believe our decisions sometimes have consequences that we aren't completely aware of at the time we make those decisions.
I think the addition of that prefacing leaf asserting that the matters of history were factual might be one of them. I'll let you know when I'm dead.
From my point of view, he's an idiot.
damn Mormon Masons anyway... a twofer!!! 8^)
Hah, I never thought of that. This thread could get interesting.

"I am a Mormon and my mom used Mason jars to can the produce from our garden."
There you have it, then. My mom used them, too. She wasn't a Mormon, but it's clear she was subverted by them.
Seriously, the Mason jar connection has about as much truth in it as the other nonsense, which is absolutely none.
Ever read "Holy Blood, Holy Grail"?
