It was ok i guess i didnt matter to me i was laughin my ass off because of Eddie Izzard's standup kept going through me head and him all talking about how god created the world and what not and then he was like. you would think that god would reach down and grab a scribs arm and write and on the 7 day got created man, but before that he created dinosaurs, but they were a bit crap so ---- em"

Re: The Duh Vinci Code
 

there is evidence supporting that God created earth and man, jesus was a fatherless child etc.? Stories ------ over thousands of years, can easily be taken as fact. :l

Do you beleive that there is a higher power in control of your life/destiny?

Re: The Duh Vinci Code
 

You don't have to believe that some things (such as Jesus being the son of God, or that God created everything, etc) but if you take it as a historical account its accurate. Take for instance, Jesus. He was a real man, and even if not believed as the Saviour, he was renouned as a "Great Prophet" by many faiths. He did, in fact, walk on this Earth.

And FYI, they weren't "------". There are original transcripts written at the time of Jesus that are still in existence, that are in Greek. When translated into English directly (which it has been done btw), it has the exact same message at "other" versions of the Bible. So they're still accurate to the beginning transcripts.

Re: The Duh Vinci Code
 

There lots of proof, but you do have to have some faith or at least some belief that there is a higher power, if not you won't really want to see it. Historically it has been proven that all of the people named as kings, the events of nations raising to be the superpower and others falling written in the bible have been confirmed by archeologists. Even events that where told years before they happened. The bible is not just about Jesus, there's a lot of history in it. A study of the bible will help understand that, but most people either don't have time, or don't want to change their ways, actually don't want to be told something they do right now is not really good for them or good to do. That's when you get people hating on it.

Then there's also the centuries of abuse by some faiths or some churches to their followers, which sadly affect how people see religion, grouping them all together, instead of judging invididual faiths by themselves.

but oh well, everyone will have a different point on this, it's part of being human I guess.
Back to the topic now.......

Dan Brown is a piece of ----. He writes gay "goosebumps-stlye" literature for adults.

Re: The Duh Vinci Code
 

Critics would only praise it if it was a good movie that could move the society to be more secular than they already are. Because they didn't think the movie was good enough to make everyone a secular democrat, they shot it down. When's the last time you heard of a movie critic that was from a cult church? ??? Churches have nothing to do with Hollywood at all. :S

Anyway, the real god is a guy named Bill, and he smoked out 8,000 people with one joint in 299 B.C. :6

Re: The Duh Vinci Code
 

Which is how faith works. You want (or need) to believe in something, so the mind satisfies this need by allowing you to "see" things that strenghten your faith in the thing you want (or need) to believe in.

It's like hearing words in a song that later turn out to be totally different than what you previously believed...

The movie put me to sleep. Whenever I woke up, I found Tom Hanks and the french ---- quivering in fear from a cripple holding a gun. At that point I knew the movie was crap but I couldn't go back to sleeep so I watched it till the end. I hold Dan Brown and the author of Harry Potter in the same esteem. Their fiction is on par with each other, the only disparity between the two is the age of their audience.
