The 'theories' are not 'theories', they are dispoven slander. This story attacks real people and the religion of millions and millions. Allowing this blasphemous slander to stand without being attacked is wrong.
Absolutely!
You think that is something? Look at what Al Gore has done with the Internet.
Do you agree with the statement that anything that doesn't exalt God is by nature blasphemous?
Someone who feels the need to "stop" this movie must have a weak and insecure faith indeed.
The movie's a stinker.
We are probably in agreement, Always. But let me just clarify my point --
The title of this post is "We must stop the Da Vinci Code" -
Presumably that means the author wants to prevent it from being shown or prevent people from watching it. Right? I disagree. Criticize all you want. Exercise your freedom of speech. And let other people exercise their freedoms.
Oh please, if the author of the book states that it's fiction, how could the movie be anything else?
This sad American fact of having to apologize for every perceived slight against any and everything is just silly.
Some freepers are sadly starting to sound like DUers sounded when discussing The Passion of the Christ.
I thought his real passion was Peruvian mummies.
Zealots like Ted Baehr and a few stuffy cardinals at the Vatican are marginalized.
* THE DA VINCI CODE book denies the divinity of Jesus Christ, claiming He was no more than a mortal prophet, and the movie says it doesn't matter whether Jesus was divine or not
* THE DA VINCI CODE alleges Jesus married Mary Magdalene with whom He had a child
* THE DA VINCI CODE falsely claims the Christian church has historically hidden these facts through deception, murder and conspiracy
***** THE DA VINCI CODE IS A REALLY BAD MOVIE *****
We don't want to go the route where we have religous mullahs like in Iran that tell us what we can or can't watch based on a religous doctrine. If you don't like it that is fine and your right to exclaim your views and maybe its an opportunity to push for a movie and/or publication that reflects what you want to see published about Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is always a great storyline for what a shining example of the glory of God.
My post was silly, without substance, and factually vacant. It was also sarcastic satire highlighting how evolutionists view the cries of creationists that demand ID be taught in science class. In fact, I basically just substituted 'Christianity' and 'Christians' for 'Darwinism' and 'Darwinist' in a common argument form ID supporters.
The point I am trying to make is that some Christians have no hesitation to do exactly what they accuse others of doing.
When did you see it?
One thing I don't get -- maybe somebody could explain it. Is this whole flap about a claim that Jesus was married and had a kid? Even if he had been married and had a kid, what difference would it make? Does it affect Christianity in some significant way?
If somebody could enlighten me, I would appreciate it.
Exactly where did I call for a boycott or even protests? I missed that. I just think the movie needs to be called out for what it is.
Replace all the Christian references in this article with Muslim references and it reads just like all the crazy whackjob jihadi writing we see.
18 that is about the worse that I have seen on rottentomatoes. ha ha
You are my hero of the day, unfortunately I think the genius of your post will be lost on this crowd.
