The Dull-Vinci Code

There is a lot of talk right now about the movie that came out Friday, The DaVinci Code. Christian circles are buzzing about whether or not Christians should see it. Non-Christians don’t see what the tizzy is all about. “It’s fiction?, they say. I don’t want to get into the whole debate too far. I choose not to see it. My main reason is that, fiction or not, I don’t want to support anything that slanders and defames the Lord I adoringly worship. Yes, I can go in and not have my faith shaken. I could use it to discuss the movie/book with Non-Christians and be better informed by what exactly takes place in the story. However, giving Hollywood $8 to see it just sends the message that making blasphemous, slanderous hit-pieces on Christ is profitable. They are already hypocritical enough in that they would never release a movie that slanders founders of other religions, I don’t want to send the message that their hypocrisy is okay with me.

If I ever see it, it will only be because someone else has already paid, and the damage is done. An example may be that I am visiting someone who has already paid to rent/buy the DVD and they are going to watch it regardless of my view on the issue.

As far as the content of the story, I’m not going to bother saying too much. It’s a dead horse thing. The claims of the book have been refuted and debunked so well and so many times that I don’t get why anyone takes any of it seriously.
