Just give it a rest already!


The whole controversy about screening The Da Vinci Code is starting to get annoying.Being a devout christian,i still do not see why there has to be so much of a problem for letting people watch the movie based on the superb book of all time?
What happened,happened.It does not matter anymore whether or not Jesus had an affair.Even though perhaps Dan Brown did not have all his facts right,it was still one hell of a read!
Today,people do not base their beliefs on religion...religion can't tell them what to do.Its all their own beliefs and opinions.You maybe very religious,but not everybody folllows EVERY single thing the church tells them to do or follow.
How do you know the bible is stating a fact?You can't prove anything happened,no more than you can prove what is stated in the Da Vinci Code actually happened.I myself don't know what exactly happened.I may believe in the bible but then again if i knew,i wouldn't have any faith would i?
If we had to do everything the church told us to,if as they state certain things aren't acceptable,then the church also said that all black people should die?So should we follow that?Aren't we all equal?
If...IF what was written in the book seems like a whole load of crap to the church...bad enough to ban a movie based on it,then what bout the talking serpent in the Garden of Eden?Rivers turning magically into blood?Now those sound very plausible don't they?
Sometimes there is no evidence of a truth or a falsehood of what you wish to prove or disprove. There may not have been evidence that Jesus and Mary Magdelene had a child...but then again is there proof that they did not?
So the fact that something is omitted from the Bible does not rule its posibility out. Just as something included in the Bible does not,make it a fact.
For the record,Mary Magdelene was not a prostitute...'Woman of devotion' was mis translated into latin and it became 'whore' (slang for prostitute today).Here again,we believed she was a prostitute just because the bibble said so?
I'm not at all worried about my religion being challenged by what a novel says.If christianity was proved...if it was proved that Jesus was the only son of Christ....there would be no other religion but Christianity.
I don't mean to offend anybody...I'm a Christian myself and i'm not putting Christianity down...this is just something i believe.I just find it ridiculous to make such a huge deal out of screening the one film the whole world has been waiting to watch.

I'm so with you on this one Misch. Just take it in. People are not imposing their views on others. You don't HAVE to watch the movie or do anything else for that matter.

Good job Mischuuu!!!
;)

Michelle said...

=>ado - i wonder too!

=>suga - i know totally...they din even hafta read the damn book!But no,they gotta make sucha huge deal bout it all

Michelle said...

i think the same(the part bout this book bein one of the best thing ive ever read).Its not bout whether his work was ficiton or reality,bottom line-the church shudn diss sumtin they cant prove fo themselves...

Vipul said...

hehe;)
sooooooooooooooooooooooooo.........

ppl have rite to express their views and raise voices they aint just a puppet of some pope or catholic church that they can act according to their will!!

Atleast this book as well as the movie motivated the ppl to See through in their religions and those of whom were least interested!

Even an atheist or an agnost would prefer watching it !!

Curosity helps in clearing facts and to explore things!!!

This book only helped in creating curosity among the ppl and it doesnt matter wat is true and wats not!

Hell noone protested a Magical boy waving his wand saying avada kadevra!

And why is the church paying so much attention to it when the author wrote in the beginning of the book itself tat ITS ALL FICTICIOUS!!!

and why are they protesting on the release of movie knowing the fact that the book was written ages ago!
Were they dozing of then?

It isnt about religion! Many ppl dont believe in anything while the others do!
Mebbe some are ardent followers of christ while the others arent!!

Movies arent always based on the truth hell most of the times they aint!

There is no need to raise an issue on this hell its so kiddish of someone to even think of banning it!!

lol and if they were to censor it they wouldve had ended up deleting all the scenes cuz everything in it is anti-catholic!!

good its here for us to watch cant wait for next week!

Dalicia said...

it's only a FICTION...i don't know why people are making such a big deal out of it?? i know that my catholic friends refused to read it.
anyways...the bible was written many years back. who really knows what is right or wrong? but, lets be open-minded and let ppl decide for themselves.

exasparater said...

jesus and mary magdelene married and had a child??? its fiction naa....

why there is so controversy abt that???

fiction is fiction... one shd just consider "da vinci code" as yet another fiction like "angels & demons" or some kind of that....

media rules in this case!!! its hype r the root of everything happenning around.......

Michelle said...

=> kath - yeh true we all hav a choice :)

Love you longtime! said...

Forget christians or non-christians... the whole thing that people taking their religion a bit too seriously (any religion) and showing intolerance towards anything which speaks against it... is disturbing!

Btw.. I loved the book, but it isn't the greatest. U read 'Shantaram'? It's very good too!

Michelle said...
