Is the Davinci Code True?

A new study released last week says that 1/3 of Canadians who have read the Davinci Code believe it’s true. Read it here. 32%? It shows the stunning ignorance of history that’s out there.

For those who haven’t read it, this is what that 32% believes:


Among those readers, 32 per cent believed the story that "a holy bloodline exists and that this secret has been protected through the ages by a dedicated society," the television channel announced yesterday.

In other words, that Christ fathered children with Mary Magdalene.

I would probably be more horrified by the percentage that believe the Left Behind books are factual. This just proves that Christians have a lot of work just teaching their own. If you’ve forgotten, go back and read this post on The Davinci Code and the Left Behind series.

God bless,
Jay

Scarey is it not?

I agree that the DaVinci Code is pure blasphemy. Unfortunately, many "christians" believe it is true, or at least some of it is. And even worse, many more people ("christians" and non-christians)will believe it after Hollywood and Tom Hanks make it into a movie.

As for the Left Behind series, I am not a fan nor have I read any of the books. I have seen the Kirk Cameron movies based on the books, however. I don't see any harm in them as long as people understand that it is totally fiction, albeit based on what the bible tells us it.

May God bless you always,
Ernie

According to Dan Brown Da Vinci was a prankster, and is Dan Brown. Why believe in pranksters?

No, it's not true. Anybody who's ever picked up an encyclopedia should know that the DaVinci code is fake. That's the problem. People won't pick up an encyclopedia.
