dumbfounded.

the catholic church is trying to block the screening of da vinci code in the country for reasons of protecting the religiousity of the people. they're afraid that it could have a great effect on the people's belief on Christ's divinity.

amazing that the people who destroy the people's faith are the people from the church themselves. they cannot preach about the people having the capacity to think and act according to their knowledge and faith and undermine the people's ability on ascertaining the truth at the same time. fine, the movie could really have an effect on the people's faith, but supressing the movie is way very much uncalled for. their job is to spread the word and to lead people toward the eternal belief that Christ is divine. the problem witht the catholic chruch as regard to the book of dan brown is that they have not done so much to bring to the people Christ's divinity. instead of supressing the movie why dont they write a book or make a documentary that answers all the questions that arose in the people's mind after reading the book.

a reactor said that the problem with reading the book is that the people no longer try to balance the things they know and the things they have read in the book. true. when i read the book i never cared on reading the bible and see if what was written in the book is true or not. but that is not the author's problem. it is the church who should lead the people in knowing the entire truth about it. present their facts goddamit!
