I watched Da Vinci Code today, interesting...

Does it not sound like the beginning of end of CHRISTIANITY?

Christ Bloodline ? alive? Church? Priorie of Sion? Holy Grail? Mary Magdalene?

Has the greatest mystery been decoded?

Chatmandude - really?? I loved Angels and Demons too!! Can't wait for the movie to come out then! :) :)

Inded it's fiction but a ction ased on semi-real story. I would rather watch THE ALBINO CODE (a brit comedy) than Da Vinci Code. DaVinci code is just a loooong boring movie with alot of hype. In other hand, Albino code is wicked funny. you can watch the trailer at www.albinocode.com

Da Vinci Da Vinci..............everywhere's is Da Vinci. i am sick of Da Vinci.
Da Vinci in the news, Da Vinci in the Vinci in the theatre, Da Vinci in the library,
Da Vinci in the bookstore, Da Vinci outisde the toilet i visited........
and now Da Vinci in Sajha tooooooooooo.
oh my god.........................help me

paradoxnemesis, Jesus is regarded a prophet in Islam, and Jews believe so as well.

Too much hype about the Da Vinci code. Yes, Da Vinci is a fiction at the best. So many historians have found the evidence to the contary but still people can't seem to get enough of the hypothesis. Christianity is an old relegion and at times corrupt, and the authors seems to be trying to exploit these vulnerability but one point I should tell you did baffle me. The Last Supper! - simply unmistakable, remarkable indeed. And by no means does the Da Vinci Code suggests the beginning of the end of christianity.
Kaloketa is right on about the prophets. Muslims believe that the god let's us know about his will though these so called prophets. Not only Jesus but other characters in Old testements like Adam, Abharam, Moses etc are also considered as prophets by muslims but they mainly follow the teachings of mohamed(sp) because they believe him to be the last of prophets and hence the most important.
Christianity, Judiasm and Islam have so much in common (Of course I am talking comparitively) but yet so much hatred.

DaVinci Code is recommended reading. I watched movie first, then read Angel & Demons and am about to finish DaVinci code. I was disappointed with movie as I was with Harry Potter movie. However, it is understandable that they cannot cram everything in two-three hours movie that's in the book.

I would say Angel & Demons is far better than DaVinci Code in terms of plot. It just held my breath after I completed about half of the book and didn't let me put down before I finished it. I would say DaVinci Code also is hard to put down however you read this book more for informatioin than plot by itself.

The knowledge which you can get from book about why church don't want to admit that the Jesus had wife and kids is that that's the very foundation of church whic claimed Jesus was divine not like any other human. The church also demeaninzed sex between male and female, and professed priest to practice celibacy to become purer. If this information is true that Jesus actually have bloodline that can shake the chritianity's principle. So, even if it doesn't matter for other religion to have gods like being a other human, for christianity it seems otherwise. It was interesting to know from the book that sex was taken as sacred act by ancient cults. The way it describes just opens a new angle how you think about sex to those who didn't know about it.
