The Da Vinci Code; and the trouble it brings

You know how 'the Da Vinci Code is evil' keeps popping up all over the news? Well, I just don't understand why everyone is making such a big deal out of it all. If you think about it, the author just blended history w/fiction. It is like one big fanfiction story. Also, if you go to a book store, you will find it under FICTION! It is a story, get over it. Why can't they see that? <_<

Tell me what you think...

The Da Vinci Code is about a secret bloodline of Jesus Christ that the Knights Templar (Nicholas Flamel was said to be part of the Kights Templar) kept hidden from the outside world. It also says that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalen, one of his disciples. Da Vinci painted her in the Last Supper, next to Jesus. I'm still a little foggy on details, but I think that is pretty much it.

Oh, and I agree with you, Quig. Really, they shouldn't (They: Church fanatics) take it so seriously. I think they might be afraid of some new religion coming out of it.

Basically it's what dread said a couple of theories and guesses thrown in along with the story of Jesus and how Marry Magdalen was actaully his wife and she was a prostitute. And the "Secret" Knights Templar carried a book of Christs blood line and they used it to blackmail the church for richs. And also that Leonardo Da vinci was apart of a secret group of people that carried the Holy Grail (blood line of Christ) throughout the centuries. There is supposed to be a couple of churchs and what not that points to the secret where abouts of the Holy Grail. It's some other stuff but i don't really remember.


It's basically just a couple of theories about "what really happened between Jesus Christ and marry magdanel". Some people try and figure it out for themselfs to see if they can uncover some secret if Jesus actually have a bloodline. It's basically a book if you read either you believe what is mentioned or you don't i guess. It's no real big deal to me actually.

I mean, it really is crazy. It is kinda like the whole comic strip/poltical cartoon that came out in the papers in October 05'. It had Muhamed in a turban, with a bomb in it. The 'devout' Muslims got real cheezed off about it. If you ask me, it is kinda like the same thing. One person's idea/opinon to another.

well i've never seen The Da Vinci Code and i don't agree with what it's trying to say. even though it's fiction some bozo is going to think it's true, which also leads to the reason you should see it. if that bozo comes up to you and askes you why it's not true, if you hadn't seen it you wouldn't be able to tell them.
