The Da Vinci Code

[ToriAllen]

While many people believe the Da Vinci Code to be a work of fiction, it does not mean that their is not truth in the movie. The fact that Jesus was married to Mary of Magdala (or Magdalene) is pretty much fact. For those that they say read the bible, the marriage is in their. The reason Mary was regulated to prostitute was because the hypocritical catholic church didn't want a woman to be in a position of power. Pope Clement is the one who came up with the story of Mary being a whore.

 

And the stories of the bible are much older then the bible. The story of Jesus was written some 25,000 years before Jesus was even born. It is the story of Horace and Isis.

Wow. We've got someone who was actually there! Tell me, did they have a nice wedding, Jesus and Mary?

I just love how everyone thinks that what they have heard/read happened two thousand years ago is exactly what happened without exception. I especially love this part: "The fact that Jesus was married to Mary of Magdala (or Magdalene) is pretty much fact."

According to whom? Have you been down in to the secret underground of the Vadican to research the sacred document they hide there? I would love to hear about what else you found down there. Is that where they keep the body of Christ, you know, to insure the whole 'Jesus raising from the dead' thing?

I'm sorry, until another, more credible, source says otherwise, I'll just have to go on assuming the traditional view of events is correct.

To many people say that God is a mystery, yet Jesus says "Ask and the mysteries of god shall be revealed." So how mysterious can it be, if you are able to find out.

By 'mystery' I don't think he was talking about history or genealogy. Something tells me he was talking about something that goes a little deeper than that. Perhaps something spiritual, but that's just me. I wasn't there. Maybe, even back then, the only mysteries that really mattered involved gossip and who was sleeping with whom.

That's just the point, it wasn't even entertainment, just torture on my ass! LOL!

Only IDIOTS or/and rebellious teenagers would go see a movie just because it's "controversial".

Not really. Most people just want to see what all the hoopla is about. It has nothing to do with rebellion or intellect, simply curiosity, which is a common human trait.

Whatever you want to call it, it happens all the time. No better way to ensure a money is going to make a HUGE amount of money. I have often wondered if people like the Pope don't get kickbacks from the makes of these movies in payment for him taking a stance against them.

I thought the film was the biggest load of horseshit that I have EVER insulted my ass cheeks by sitting though!

 

I feel the same way.....the story itself is completely ridiculous....but the movie just kills it...its like the icing on the cake, it just tops off how stupid the whole thing really is. Im glad they made this movie, so all the christians that were so worried about it can be put at ease!!!! I dont know how anyone with common sense could take it seriously after seeing it.

Ever since graduating from catholic school, I have been in favor of anything that annoys the hell out of the catholic church.

Come on guys. It's not that bad. At least the higher ups have been trying to be more open to new ideas in the past few years. In fact, I'm beginning to think the Protestant churches are more closed minded than the Catholics. My grandmother, and her entire church, boycotted Harry Potter when it came out because it had magic and wizards/witches in it. She had a fit when I bought it for my son so I kindly pointed out that one of her favorite movies, Wizard of Oz, also had magic and wizards/witches in it. I just love the double standard and the blind, illogical thought.

I'm not Catholic and never have been so i can't say how bad they are. But My mom being the oldest of 14 sibblings had to live in a Catholic orfanage. She said the nuns were bruttal. She won't step foot into a Catholic church anymore.

My grandpa has fond memories of terrorizing the nuns at the Catholic school he went to. My husband, on the other hand, was in a Christian boys home where he claims they tried to sell him on the black market. I think it depends on who you talk to, where the church was located, and who was in charge. There is good and bad in all groups, sects, and religions.
