The Da Vinci Load
All we've been hearing about lately is the Da Vinci Code debate. It's everywhere, everybody's talking about it, and yet I don't think we know what we're really "debating" about. Is it "Jesus is real" vs. "Jesus was not real?" Is it "Jesus isn't God's son" vs. "Jesus is God's son?" Or is it "This book is based on fact!" vs. "This book is based on fiction?" I don't think anybody knows.But it's this that we're all sure about, we don't know what to "debate" about and what side to be on simply because there is no side. If your views is that the book is a work of fiction, you'd be saying that Jesus isn't real either. But if you're an atheist, then you have believe that Jesus was an actual person, only the Jesus you believe in was different with the one the Christians worship. Such a messy situation, aye? For once in the entire history, it's not Christian/Atheist separated.
Dan Brown is such a genius. Not because he wrote a fabulously well-written mystery novel, but because he actually created a book that is confusing everybody and making everyone walk around the room, not knowing which chair to sit on.
One thing is sure, no matter what side you're on and what you're trying to say, this whole thing is all about the lovely hippie who lived 2000 years ago: Jesus. That's why I gave him his own personal photo for this article. I'm giving him a bit of pity, because it seems like Christians are so obsessed with themselves that everybody's ignoring the main character of this whole issue.
I'm sure there are a lot of other books that are based on "real people" (if you believe Jesus exists) but based on fictional events. The authors of those books must be biting their lips on how stupid they were for not using a religious symbol and pissing religious people off with it.
The riot with the Christians being against Da Vinci Code is complete bullshit. I thought they were seriously until I saw this article. It's not about the words or what the article said, it's the picture that proved how unrelated this whole boycotting thing is. Now there's finally an explanation on why Christians refuse to believe Global Warming's existence. George Bush doesn't believe in it either. The reason seems to be that Christians are refusing to give up their best way of protesting: burning books. It was exactly the same with Harry Potter. These morons are burning so many books, creating so much smoke, obviously causing more and more pollution, simply because that other book - what the name - oh yes, The Bible says it's "wrong." If only who ever written the fucking book would've replaced "let's hate fags" with "let's love our one and only earth," maybe the world would be so much better - at least cleaner.
And for some reason, all the smoke these people create always end up in Hong Kong. God hates fags - does he hate Chinese people too?
