Da Vinci
The Da Vinci code . Here is a interesting topic. The church is asking for boycotts and the Book has made millions so far. So heres the question did Jesus shack up or is this another fairytail to make money. Its sad to say it there are a large number of people that beleave anything that is wrote. Now that it was made into a movie more people could take it for truth. But me i like to think people are smarter than ya think.
So...truth or fiction and will it hurt the church or help. So dig down deep and post your thoughts. And member this oswald was a marine and the CIA never sold crack in the inner city.
Who is it??......Dave.....Who?...its me dave!!.....No Daves not here man

Cashing in on something like this is one of the few 'sure bets' in any economy.
So long as people rant over it, the intelligent people will go to/rent the movie and/or buy the book so that they can see both sides and form their own opinions.
Meanwhile:
The stoopid people will buy hundreds/thousands of copies of the book (Because it is wrong to steal them) and burn them.
Smart bookslellers will over-order this title.
Savvy game merchants heavily stocked up, and profited, when similar protests were made against the evils of Dungeons & Dragons in the late 70's and early 80's.
This is America. The more you fume about how bad/awful/wrong/inaccurate/sacreligious/etc. it is, the more we want to look at it.
It's the age-old trainwreck of 'organized' world religion and we all want to see the corpses by the rails.
Sheesh.

what's one more fictional story about Jesus...it's an ancient tradition.
"...I no longer believe that people's secrets are defined and communicable, or their feelings full-blown and easy to recognize."_Alice Munro, Chaddeleys and Flemings.
"...the order in creation which you see is that which you have put there, like a string in a maze, so that you shall not lose your way". _Judge Holden, Cormac McCarthy's, BLOOD MERIDIAN.

Exactly...I find Grimm's Fairy Tales far more entertaining...

If there was a Christ, I am sure he would have had a wife. Jus tcause you are the son of god does not mean one needs to be single. :P
Burninating the country side, burninating the peasants. Burninating all the people in their thatched roof cottages....THATCHED ROOF COTTAGES!!!!!
