Both stories.

The Davinci Code has more truth in it than the bible does.

If god wrote the bible, or jesus did, i would listen and respect it.

Mere mortals wrote it, just like Dan Brown.

good article by mark in courier-mail 18.5.2006

what does it matter if jesus did marry Mary Magdalene?

Mark,

Don't believe everything you read :)

I'm just glad that christians aren't calling on us all to burn American flags and Tom Hanks DVD's, boycott all American movies and don't go to theatres that play it, as well as demonstrating outside of the French embassy because a theatre there had a showing....

i always liked the comment by bruce dickinson from Iron Maiden that their record company estimated the value of the free (mostly negative) publicity they recieved on their 'number of the beast tour' in the early 80's to be around 40 million US. no one in america had really heard of them before christian groups started to picket their concerts and there was a direct correlation between the rising number of picketers and ticket sales.

one would think that the church had a stake in the royaltys of the movie they are doing such a good job of promoting it.

“As Joseph Ratzinger put it prior to assuming the pontiff, we “are building a dictatorship of relativism that does not recognise anything as definitive”.”

He should know (about dictatorships), the Church of Rome is not recognised for either its “democratic” principles or practices.

“Trouble is, Dan Brown has offered a plausible alternative to the official line on Jesus.”

Exactly, “plausibility” is the last thing some fanatical ‘believers’ would have us “sceptics” be allowed to consider, question, view, read or debate.

Any religiously motivated individual is at liberty to ignore the “Da Vinci Code” both book and film, however they are have no authority, moral, ethical or physical to dictate to the rest of us what we will decide about it.

While everyone is trying to crack the Da vinci code which consists of millions of years of data to sort through.

The latest release of the pentagon, 9/11 conspiracies has been released.

Unfortunately this still does not put to rest conspiracies theories relating to the crash site and what exactly crashed into the pentagon.

And this is only a few years worth of data to sort through.
