Satan will use any tool he can to take our focus away from God or try to get us twisted and confused in our beliefs in God.

The problem is the fact that some people are so unlearned in Biblical studies, that they think this is some sort of documentary or historical treatise, which is ludicrous. If people want to know the truth in these matters, they should study the Bible carefully, and study the works of true scholars, such as Bart D. Ehrman, who has many books on the truth of what we know, and do not know about Mary Magdalene, etc. The truth is that we know so little about Mary Magdalene, that it allows the imagination to run wild. But that makes for an exciting book/movie. I will see the Da Vinci Code as soon as possible, but this is just for entertainment. I will always study the Bible and the other historical documents that shed light on the Bible. The 2 things have very little to do with each other. One is entertainment. The other is scholarly research.

Anything prohibted, controversial with religion attracts people, because they hold a fascination. The fascination may simply be due to lack of knowledge, the fact that other people are talking about it - we're talking abt it and if someone who didnt know about such films saw our discussion; even he would grow curious about it since there is so much talk about it. And the last reason is rebellion. plus in today's hi-tech world,watching a 2 hour movie with glam and action is so much better than reading the old fashioned book for people.

Be active and read and don't secede or succumb to the ways of the dumb grab a book and look make your mind aware and don't always stare at the glare of the movie just because people think its groovy!

Whether you think the premise of Da Vinci Code is fact or fiction...the story is entertaining. I happen to enjoy religious based thillers. Do I think the church as keeping Satan's son in a module in the basement of a small church in New York (1987's Prince of Darkness)...NO. Is the church(es) so paranoid about people's faith that this is such a concern. I guess so. The also tried to stop the printing press, supress the Renaissance. I have a very strong faith...I just don't get the concern. Also, what if Jesus was married to Mary? I don't think that would lessen the fact that he is the Son of God.

I will go to see 'Da Vinci Code'. Its supposed to be about conspiracies and secrets about one of the most influential religions on Earth. I may not be a Christian, but I was raised one. And I'm all about learning something new about things that are being kept from the public view. Rome took Christianity and created a whole new religion out of it, in my opinion. They maintained power and influence despite no longer having an I'mperial Army to enforce their Will. Im curious about Devinci Code.
