The Da Vinci Code
May 22nd, 2006So, Lisa and I went to see the Da Vinci Code. You know what? We liked it! The critics panned it, the religious claimed it would undermine the church, and we spent the last two weeks watching special after special about Da Vinci, the Templars, the FreeMasons, Jesus, Mary Magdelene, and all of that. WE STILL LOVED IT!
It was a good story, there was action and a tramp through Europe, and history and everything. Neither one of us had read the book, but now we’re actually more likely to.
BTW: If it came out that Jesus was married and had kids, would that really shake the christian church to its foundation? I find that hard to believe. Maybe to those that need to take everything absolutely literally and whose faith is hanging by a string. The rest of us would continue on with little change.
Hey Bro,
Well I just got back from the beach with no water. Not much going on there. I havent had a chance to read the book or see the movie. I thought it was easy to see that the hardline christian funda-MENTAL-ist pressured the folks who preview movies into writing bad reviews. Im probably going to see it with Bob when we get together. Tom Hanks is an excellent story teller. How much of history can you really take literally anyway. Lincoln was a hero and the civil war was about freeing the slaves, hah!
