i was asking myself why a lot of write ups, oppositions and restraining orders about the movie, the da vinci code. i read the book last year, and it was just like another book that i read. sheer entertainment. books should do that to you. it is either you will stop to think and ponder, enlighten and entertain you.
about the church worrying that it will have an effect on our belief is a sheer baloney. i read the book and my fate is as strong as ever. with my vivid imagination, i don't think dan brown's theory affect me in any way. that is why we have brains to distinguish the truth from fiction.
what i was thought since i was a child and what i learned from school, is the best reference i have about christianity. the bible, which was written a thousand years ago, is still the most tangible testimony of what really happened. there are some doctrines that i dont agree with, but i do believe in mama mary and jesus christ. in fact my husband and my kids are all marian devotees. under the title mary help of christians, mama mary helped us a lot during some trying period in our lives. also, jesus christ is our only lord and our saviour.
so no matter how many books dan brown writes, telling us the contrary, it is how we see and perceive things that is most important. don't let a book our a movie be the reason of waning what we believe in. don't let anybody take away what values you have. let us rejoice that we have the power to choose and understand what is right or wrong. i say this with confidence that i am still a christian and a firm believer . . . . . . . . . . .
