The Da Vinci Code is the biggest public insult I've ever seen to my religion, and probably would remain the greatest I've seen for as long as I am able to think, see, and understand.

Bullshit.

I'm freaking pissed off. (I know it sounds silly, cause I pissed myself off.)

Actually, I've been pissed off at this for quite a while, but a guy who wrote to the newspaper's forum made me highly annoyed.

Alright, this website tells a lot. Yes, I did a teensy bit of research.

Why are Christian churches getting so worked up over the book?

I'm probably going to get blasted and marked by Christians all over who disagree with me.. But I MUST state my reasons.

Its just a DUMB BOOK.

Okay, maybe its not dumb.. Its really a beautiful book. And I loved it when I read it. I don't really remember exactly what happened now, but I remember it was very very well writ.

But I'm -telling- you, Dan Brown NEVER said his book was non-fiction.

Why can't a person have his own theories? I read somewhere that Dan Brown was EXPLORING the theory that Jesus -did- have a wife. Hell, it most likely wasn't even HIS theory.

My first point.. So WHAT if Jesus -did- have a wife?

Okay.. The Vatican lied, yadda yadda.. The Bible's facts turn questionable..

Why give a shit? The people who are protesting are the people who ALREADY have religions (Most, anyways.. And most of that group of "most" are Christians.). Why get so worked up?

I've mentioned this before. A faith is based on FAITH. And faith, in this context, means.. complete trust. Even if there is no proof.

I'm very sure there isn't a way for anyone to oppose that statement. Don't even try. I'm superly pissed off as it is. If you want to try in your head, at least, without telling me, here's the page for the meaning of the word faith. Happy racking your brains.

So. Jesus himself will become a questionable figure, if the "facts" in the Bible turn questionable, cause Jesus is the main character, isn't he?

Questionable because he held a secret of his marriage to Mary Magdalene from everyone else (not really everyone, since some people seem to have "found out").

Alright. Maybe he WAS just a normal person. (Yes, I'm exploring the theory. Don't flame me yet.) But he did all these incredible things. Magic? some of you ask, referring to the healing of the ill and all that.

Maybe, magic. Maybe, something else. Maybe.. he just fooled all of us.

Magic is against Christianity, is it not? How did magic even come about? God. Wait. Magic is eeeeviiiil. So magic came from Satan. jesus practiced magic. Okay, so?

Why didn't solid proof come out that Jesus was a fluke then? (Don't give me all that bull about "because he wasn't!". I'm not accepting it. And don't try to argue with me. I make sense. And I'm defending your side.) Don't you think that if all this was really Satan's work, he would have given us solid proof that Jesus is poot? He would want to take credit for his work, and turn everyone against Christianity, wouldn't he? Use your brains man.

But do you not find it amazing that such a man(Jesus) was WILLING to do all these GOOD things? Alright, MAYBE he wasn't entirely sinless (that is, if all that was a fluke). But he did good things.. And majority of the people then saw the good things that he did. Apparently, to them, he was sinless.

They looked up to him, they wanted to be like him.

Now, tell me, people, what's so bad about that, considering that our goal is to make everyone be good? (Argue with me only if you're from a faith that believes in good.)

If you're still saying "If Jesus used magic, that means he got the magic from Satan, and he was fooling all of us.", then I'm saying its a stupid excuse. He STILL did all those good things. Its like.. us. When we're told to do something, and that something is something good, and we really don't want to do it, but we do it anyways, just without the sincerity. We still completed the action. It was a good action. We did it against our will, but we still did it. See? Same logic.

We want to learn from GOOD things. Or at least that's what we should learn from..

Its about what they DID, not how they felt when they did it.

If everyone were to follow their desires, life would be.. more bad than good. So its okay to do things against your will, as long as they're good.

I'm going to sound a little harsh here, so pardon me..

If people want to put such blind faith in a character they look up to, why not? That character is their: ROLE MODEL.

Christians.. Jesus is our role model, is he not?

SEE!? So what's the fuss about?

Okay, my next point. You may say that the ones who know less, or have less faith may be swayed by what they see.

I'm not sorry to say this. They're swayed because they're lazy, and don't take their faith seriously. They believe what they think makes their world a better place for them to live in. Like how some adults still believe that there IS a chance that there IS a Santa Claus, or something like that. It creates the magic in their world.

Back to the magic issue. Magic is eeeeeviiiiil? Pfft. I've discussed it above. Its SOLVED.

A person who does loads of good deeds and practices magic will still be a better person than one who doesn't practice magic and does hell of a lot of bad things, ya?

Anyways. Back to the being swayed part.

Why are they lazy?

Okay. I was once swayed. No, don't say I'm lazy.

I actually believed the stuff in the book, cause I didn't know it was fiction.

I went online to search for information, to see if it really was real.

I WENT ONLINE.

People wouldn't go online to search for information, or go anywhere else to look for proof/evidence unless they weren't lazy or didn't take their religion seriously, right?

Okay. You can say that I was ready to believe Dan Brown's theory.. Or the theory that he explored, rather.. Yes, you can. But I BOTHERED to do research. I was highly interested in the theory.

Even now, I'm ready to believe that theory. I'm half-believing it. Why? Because we cannot be 100% sure that anything we know is really true. Don't say we can. I'm TELLING you, we CAN'T.

There is no SOLID proof. Don't give me bull about the Bible and the Vatican or whatever being proof. No one who lived then is living now to tell us exactly what happened. And even so, the person might lie. Or even tell us something that isn't accurate, by accident, without the intention of lying.

Till now, I'm not sure if Jesus did have a wife, but if he did, COOL man... If he didn't? Okay. Dan Brown's book was AWESOME.

If Jesus had a wife, why get so worked up, I ask you again? Because you were lied to? The very fact that you get so worked up only shows that you hate being lied to.

How does it affect you? You can't worship someone who married, is that it? If not, then what? You can't worship someone who married a PROSTITUTE, is that it?

*rolls eyes* If that's really it, grow UP.

Who a person chooses to marry does not determine how good a person is.

Why get so worked up? Why ban the movie?

Respect my opinion, those who're against Dan Brown's book may ask me to do.

If you expect me to respect your opinion, then respect mine.

Its exactly the same as respecting the different religions people have and expecting them to respect yours.

I say this again: Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.

I don't want anyone referring to this at all. No tags, no emails, no talking to me, no chatting with me on msn. No reference to this to me AT ALL.

It just pisses me off.

Whoo, I feel better now.
