World had an article about the mixed responses to the new movie “The Da Vinci Code” in its most recent issue. I’m pretty well certain that I don’t want to contribute $8 to the producers of a blasphemous film – but should I perhaps feel obligated to get it out of the library and read it so that I’m informed on that part of the culture war? If 43 million people have read it, perhaps it’d be important to know what it said, so that I know what misconceptions of the Gospel some people have?

I was actually reading that article over at your parents home tonight
\par

I checked out the book-on-CD from the library today (had a reserve on it and it finally came in). It is 14 CDs but will be doing some driving this weekend so hope to get to listen to most of it.\par

I agree. I do not want to spend $$ to see or read it, but it is important to know what people are talking about. The book is a farce, albiet well written from what I hear. \par

I plan on going to some of the web sites that have documented all the ‘facts’ that the book has ‘altered’ so that as I listen to the book I will be able to put them in context.
I was wondering the same thing. I thought that it might be important to at least know what they were talking about. All I know is that supposedly Mary Magdeline was Jesus wife, and they had a baby. Da Vinci was supposed to be the distant relative of Jesus, and then he covered up a bunch of stuff about the church. Or something. I’ve just been overhearing people at work talk about it. Do you subject yourself to it to be informed? Or not contribute to it, and just ignore it?
