The Da Vinci Code
Well it's here, the movie based on Dan Brown's runaway best seller The Da Vinci Code. In a sort of Orwellian twist, the promos for the film admonish the viewer to "Seek the Truth". Only you don't have to. Brown provides all the answers. The gospel stories were made up by Constantine. Jesus was married and had kids. Their descendants are still around. You may have had espresso with one of two of them in Paris, facts the Vatican has been hiding from Christian ignoramuses for almost two thousand years.
Boy I'm glad Dan Brown wrote his book and showed us the light. You laugh, but many actually believe this drivel. It's truly amazing the masses of people that are ready and willing to believe falsehood, even in the information age, on the slimest of evidence imaginable. Frightening really.
You think Iranian President Ahmadinejad really believes the holocaust took place but just says he doesn't to identify better with his fellow Muslims? You'd be wrong. He really doesn't believe the holocaust happened, and neither do millions of other Muslims around the world who've been sold the same pack of lies despite overwhelming and uncontroverted evidence, including tons of tangible evidence, government files, film footage, photographs, the direct testimony of thousands of survivors, confessions from the perpetrators, myriads of eye witnesses including Allied soldiers, German and Polish citizens.
All made up says Ahmadinejad. A conspiracy, just like the Christian gospels. Dan Brown told us so.
Well, for those of you who encounter Brown's true believers I have two suggestions: 1) Don't pass the opportunity to challenge such a blatant lie, and 2) learn the facts. There are plenty of good resources around. Here are a couple of good examples you may want to refer to. The first comes to us from the Catholic Communication Campaign. The other site comes courtesy of Ron Rhodes. Both are excellent sources of information.
Crash the Da Vinci Code

In these days it is well to remember the thoughts of Edmund Burke: "All that’s necessary for the forces of evil to win in the world is for enough good men to do nothing".
Do something.

Hello Mark,
Here's some truth to chew on. Remember, scoffing leads to blindness and patience is on the path to wisdom...
It is quite a joke that the Vatican and Catholic Church have the gall to accuse the author of a novel of attacking their fantasies and dogma. Remember that this is the same organization that manufactured fake relics and miracles for many centuries. This is the same group that massacred and tortured people for seeking the truth and having a mind of their own. This is the same group of deluded deceivers that makes more noise about a fictional book and movie than about child raping priests, aids, famine, or even the Holocaust! At what point does the Vatican's behavior go from the absurd to simply purely evil?
It is undeniable the New Testament is framed by symbolism and allegory. The same is evidenced in the Dead Sea Scrolls, Gnostic texts, biblical apocrypha, and other related texts. All ancient religious, mystical, and wisdom texts have been shrouded in mystery for millennia for one primary reason: The ability to understand their widely evidenced symbology was lost in antiquity. How do we finally solve these ages-old mysteries? To recast an often-used political adage: It’s [the] symbology, stupid!
It's amazing the Vatican still tries to insist the Gospels are literal truth. It is beyond obvious they are replete with ancient Hebrew symbology. Every miracle purported for Jesus has multiple direct symbolic parallels in the Old Testament, Apocalypse, Dead Sea Scrolls, and other symbolic narratives and traditions.
Likewise, the following Washington Post article ( The Book of Bart) demonstrates how many changes and embellishments were made to these texts over the centuries, unequivocally demonstrating they are not original, infallible, or truthful.
What then is the purpose of "faith" but to keep good people from seeking to understand truth and wisdom? It's no wonder the Vatican fears the truth more than anything else. Now comes justice, hot on its heels... (symbolism...)
Revelations from the Apocalypse
Here is Wisdom!!
