One Thing The Church Is Right About

[Ferg]

Don't read the DaVinci code. I should have listened to the church there. I think the church was just trying to be helpful on that one. It's true, it's a crappy book. Whether or not you believe that bullshit, it's still poorly made, and it sucks.....donkey testicles.

OK. It is a fiction novel after all.

Sure, you might not like the subject but most of Dan Brown's, including this one, have pretty good plots and are well written.

matter of opinion I guess. I didn't like the book at all. But then again, I like military books and literature, and DaVinci Code falls into neither of these.

OK, I understand. But please don&#39;t tell me you like Tom Clancy novels. <_<

I like his video games, but not his books. Too long and boring.

With some of that I agree, but it wasnt how well it was written or who believes it.

It caused enough hype to shock the foundations of the church and make people question their beliefs of Christ on many levels, even though it was a work of fiction.

The book will be remembered in the class rooms a century from now as a stepping stone towards the fall of Christianity.

And my church says Ill be watched everywhere, even the toilet, by a perverted Sky Wizard and his son who got screwed over by a bunch of Jews and Italians :rolleyes:

Tom Clancy borathons... argh. The plots go something like this:

Communists (often Irish Communists) do something bad.
The USA sends in special forces who kill them.
Everyone lives happily ever after.

They read like a history book... argh.

I doubt it since it is a fiction book.

Someone told me the web site designer, Maddox, made something about this as well.

So is the Bible, look at the position that book has in society.

There have been so many people who have been awakened to the fact that what the Christian Church has been teaching them about Jesus may not neccesarily be true, thanks to this book. Even athiests and agnostic people who have been ignorant of the whole thing are now looking into it more, I know this because I know people who are doing it, or have done it. This book has got people interested in the truth behind the tales of Jesus that unfortunately surround our society, and that can only be a good thing.
Even most athiests are &#39;tolerant&#39; of Christianity, and we can never hope to be rid of it until it is seen as an oppressive and unneccesary part of society, and this &#39;awakening&#39; has to start somewhere, and entertaining publications such as The Da Vinci Code help to start that.

I don&#39;t think the church wanted you not to read it because of the quality. :lol:

You heard it.

From jesus himself.

The Bible is a religious text whereas this is not. This book is simply a good read and not something to inspire people to rebel against Christianity. Besides, all it tries to disprove is that Jesus was divine.

Then those people never really knew anything about the Bible or Jesus or probably anything else for that matter. Brown made up like 99% of the stuff in that book, not least of which that silly secret society (the name currently eludes me). The society only ever had like two members, and was really just an elaborate hoax perpetrated by a bored French millionare. There are much better ways to weaken faith in the Church, which is why I seriously doubt Brown intended for that purpose.

Of course there are better ways, it&#39;s indisputable.

My point was simply that people have a tendency to at least accept the existence of Jesus, or not really care either way. A book like this awakens people to a fact they may have not considered: what the Church has taught us about their honest practices and about the life of Jesus may not be true... it&#39;s impact may not be so great, but it has got people interested in this topic, as they then go on to learn about the corruptness of the church, and over a period of time this can only be a good thing. Surely I&#39;m not the only one who believes this?

Oh and I haven&#39;t seen the movie, but I thought the book was poorly written, he picked an interesting topic to base his story around, but the writing isn&#39;t particularly brilliant.
