*NEW* The Davinci Code Trailer

I can't wait, it looks awsome!

I got put off anything Dan Brown writes when it turned out most of it was bs. The same goes for the film.

If what you mean by BS, yes the the book is fictional.

Yet the core ideas in his film are true nonethless. Early church history is highly controversial, especially the history surrounding Jesus christ and his teachings.

May be bs, but he still writes a damn good book.










I CANT WAIT FOR THE MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd be more interested in this is people would stop being so fanatical about it. Brown's turning into the next L. Ron Hubbard-- a fiction writer that gets stuck starting a religion of loonies.

Brown is a lucky formula writer who got people to believe he was telling them something new in the Code. The truth is that all of that had been dealt with decades before by people far more expert than him.

more like a denomination rather than a religion

Well, if a person believes what Brown postulates, they aren't following the accepted idea of a divine Christ, so I don't think Christians would consider them as one of them.

it doesnt mean he wasnt divine, it just proposes that he had children and married (both of which are not sins)

I don't really care either way, but I know a majority of Christian sects feel that that procreation would be an indication that he was not divine. Some of the more liberal, perhaps not, but the majority think that would go against Christ's purpose and holiness. Just like the idea that Mary was not a virgin her whole life causes dissention.

Mary bieng a virgin all of her life is mainly a Catholic belief.

I figure that if God had a Son, why not Jesus have some kiddo's!

I think having Jesus as a dad would make a hilarious sitcom, a la the Family Guy with a little Simpsons and South Park influence.

Good book. Should be good movie. We'll see

well Jesus does live in South Park

I don't know what's so funny about it. If you think logically, he probably was married to Maria Magdalena. First of all, no man was called Rabbi if he was not married and Jesus was consistently called Rabbi. It was an enormous disgrace for a man not to be married past the age of 30. The culture required that if a man was away from home on a trip, his wife could not leave the house until his return. He would then call for her to come out of the house. When Jesus returned the house of Mary and Martha, Mary did not come out but Martha did. Mary came out when Jesus had called for her. The clues suggest that Maria, his cousin, was Maria Magdalena and such a union would not have been uncommon. In the end, it was Maria who performed the duties of a faithful wife and stayed outside the tomb when everyone else had abandoned it.

Somebody needs to ask Santa for a sense of humor this year. I wasn't saying that because I don't believe he could have been married. I don't care either way.

I don't need anything from Santa and you should care!

Scrooge

Actually, Jesus died saving Santa from the Iraqi's.

true, but he came back to south park

I really wonder how this movie will turn out. Many sections of the book revealed information for several pages at once with Robert Langdon's speeches. So does this mean when we watch the movie, Langdon (Tom Hanks) will be boring an audience by talking about religious history for fifteen minutes followed by further plot progression?

While many people argue over the controversial material covered in the book, people tend to forget that Brown's message was simply that the winner's in history wrote the history, and in order to understand our history we must accept the fact that there were alternative perspectives of what went on.

I just mean it doesn't matter if he had children or not to me. I think the Christians have warped ideas of sex and romantic love and are looking at this the wrong way. I don't see how how his having a family would have affected anything, but most Christians don't see it that way. *shrug*

Do you really think Joseph would have stayed married to Mary if she was gonna stay a virgin? Really now, that just defies logic.

It's funny how the things that are big topics of discussion are his death or whether or not he ever had a family or when he's coming back to kick some nonbeliever ass; but nobody ever seems to mention what the cat actually taught. Which is why he looms so large in the first place. Just saying...
