More on The DaVinci Code

Honeymooning wrote this over on her blog about The DaVinci Code:

Here’s what I think:

  1. The book is a work of fiction. do not use this book for spiritual guidance, that’s not its purpose, it is made for entertainment.
  2. The controversy is not new – it’s as old as the nicene creed.
  3. The church will survive the exposure.
  4. This book gets people thinking and talking (and unfortunately, some people talking without thinking).
  5. If this book makes you think and even question your faith, that’s good. Unthinking and unquestioned faith is one of the sources of our current problems in the world (and yes, I mean Christians too).
  6. Use your brain. Try to avoid knee-jerk reactions.

    IMO, The Church needs to be more worried about the sex offenders in the priesthood then a book/movie.

  2. How true, B. You nailed that one on the head!

  3. I read the book and enjoyed it. I have always found Da Vinci a fascinating historical figure for all the things he did. I often wondered what he would be able to do in today’s time. As for the book and movie, people need to remember it is fiction. People are really protesting too much.

  4. Well said.

    You are so right. Agreed!

  6. Thank you SO much. Yours is the first rational Christian voice I’ve heard on this mess aside from my husband’s. It’s good to know there are rational people left in the belief.
