I wouldn't say the "church" is in an uproar, in fact, both my home church and the one I played at in Brainerd this weekend both had sermons on the DaVinci Code and neither spoke of it in a negative light, just pointed out the mistruths the movie communicates. I'll admit I was a bit swayed by the book because it weaves a lot of supposed history into a nice story. Truth is that almost everything in the book is a take on actual history or a blatant misdirection. After reading some other books which quote actual history with plenty of historical references from other published works, the Da Vinci Code suddenly seems way more fictional that I first believed. It is very well written though. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing it, Tom Hanks and Opie are a great team.  |
I missed church this last week but I read the bulletin and it was all about mangdelin or however you spell it and how jesus never married etc. Basically it was all about their view against the davinci code. It's a simple concept. Where is your faith? If you believe Jesus never married and that he was God himself... then that's what you believe no matter what happens or is "proven." If you don't believe this, then you likely never will! So I don't see why people make a big deal over it :P
