Has anyone seen the new movie ' The Da Vinci Code'. What do you think about it?

In the movie it says Jesus raped Mary Magdalene; which is totally wrong.

They are just jealous because of the movie "The passion of christ"

Haha. I'm going to watch it this thursday. I can't wait. Woot for blasphemy (if God does really exist).

guess i shud not tell u. Comments on this thread after watchin d movie. ok?

@funketobi,
I'm not so sure that Da Vinci Code was a reaction to the Passion of Christ - as many Catholics may feel. I haven't seen the movie but would do so soon enough. In any case, there's a thread by the same topic, click here: Da Vinci Code. The DVC book has been in circulation for about three years now, so it didn't have to wait for Mel Gibson's "The Passion of Christ" to be released in February 2004.

@retro,
Blasphemy does not prove the non-existence of God, and that really sounded immature. Blasphemers will wake up some day to the consequences of their actions; and until then, anyone thinking that blasphemy is a way of proving the existence/non-existence of God is missing the point.

ok

What the Bleep are you talking about?
My point: I heard that in this movie, there are lots of blasphemys, so woot for them, as in if God does exist then they are going to pay in hell. It's just another way of talking. Lighten up, don't go around assuming crap.

I'm not assuming crap, and I'm not talking the trash you suppose I was. That "if God does exist" in brackets is attributed to you rather than the Da Vinci Code crew, yes? And then your point again that "if God does exist then they are going to pay in hell" points to the fact that you're not sure about God's existence, no? You need to lighten up and not assume crap where there's none.

I'm agnostic, if you don't know what that means, look it up. If you do, good for you. This is exactly why most christians bug me, I made a SIMPLE sentence and you look at it 500 ways just to bring out a debate. I meant that if God exists then the Da Vinci Code crew will pay in hell. What's so wrong about that?

What does that have to do with my first post? What is your point?

Retro, watch out! The crusaders are comming.

Haha. I don't give a rat's a s s about them. Most christians are so up tight.

Pls dont turn it to an argument. we alll have a right to our opinion.

Ok?
Show respect . just comments on d topic not what sumone said.

I agree. I didn't start the "quoting". I have a right to my opinion just as much as anyone else does.

What's the debate - that I pointed something you said in bracket as not necessarily a way of wooting the blasphemers? Spare me. You may feel bugged, but I don't know how many agnostics would overstate things - what's with the "500 ways" when my rejoinders have been consistent? So much for your emphasis.

You can't see the points simply because you're not calm enough to see it in clear ink, so try this:

. . . how does that differ from my earlier post:

mlks_baby:

Blasphemers will wake up some day to the consequences of their actions;

Do they sound like two cultures within a sardine tin? What you said differs nothing from mine, no? Ahhh. . . perhaps you exploded on reading the first part of my rejoinder saying "that really sounded immature." Okay, if that's your trouble, I take it back. If that won't do, have it your way. You didn't start the quoting, agreed; and you're entitled to your opinion, even if it lacks some respect.

Oh my God, you're unbelievable. I wasn't WOOTING for blasphemers in the way you're thinking.
Think, please think: If God does exist, the Da Vinci Code crew will pay for it. I summarized all that in "woot for blasphemers". You know what I think really bothers you? The fact I said "if God does exist". Most christians are so close-minded. I doubt God's existence, I'm still waiting for a proof to actually believe there is a God, you want to kill me for that?
As for lack of respect, you've got to be bleeping kidding me. HAHAHAHAHA. Damn, I love your sense of humor. I dislike christians like you. Really I do, but whatever. People like you make me not want to believe in "God". Keep up the good work, dude.

Oh and "that sounds immature", I don't really care, trust me, it doesn't bother me. I don't care. We don't have the same level of "maturity" because you're just too ugh. It's really funny you know, how people ALWAYS have to say "oh how mature of you, or that sounds mature, or whatever, mature". Please, it's getting old.

@retro
an agnostic believes God exists but is not relevant. your statement "if God exists" clearly points you as an atheist, else you might have simply said "God exists"

am currently reading the book, dont want to watch a cut down version in film. have it in DOC format.

An agnostic believes its not possible to know for certain if god exist or not.

JESUS! This is so ANNOYING. If you don't know what Agnosticism is, then don't talk about it.

Agnoticism: The word is derived from the Greek word "a" meaning "without" and "gnosis" meaning "knowledge". Thus the definition of agnosticism is "without knowledge" or the belief that there is not, and cannot ever be, sufficient knowledge or data to determine whether or not God does or does not exist.

Dude, use google, it helps a lot. Inform yourself more.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=define%3Aagnostic

Definitions of agnostic on the Web:

A word first used by Professor Huxley, to indicate one who believes nothing which cannot be demonstrated by the senses.
www.theosociety.org/pasadena/key/key-glos.htm

An Agnostic [1] [noun] [OW] embraces a worldview in which the existence of deity is unknown or unknowable. Derives from the Greek agnostos, a = without, gnostos = known or knowledge. "Agnostic[ism] [CE] was coined by Professor TH Huxley in 1869 to describe the mental attitude of one who regarded as futile all attempts to know the reality corresponding to our ultimate scientific, philosophic, and religious ideas."
members.aol.com/porchnus/dict01.htm

one who believes that the evidence for and against the existence of God is inconclusive. (agnosticism)
www.summit.org/resource/dictionary/

Agnostic: one who questions religious or spiritual beliefs, and who may choose not to claim any system of knowledge.
iamuniversity.org/glossary/cv_glossarylist.php

One who holds the theory that God is unknown or unknowable
www.innvista.com/culture/religion/diction.htm

Someone who claims that they do not know or are unable to know whether God exists.
www.abdn.ac.uk/philosophy/guide/glossary.shtml

[b]Agnosticism asserts no knowledge of gods and therefore concludes there are no reasons to believe in them or not to believe in them. An agnostic follows this credo and differs from the atheist who has developed an active belief that there are no gods. When it comes to the question of existence of deities, an agnostic will respond: I just don't know.[/b]designdynamics.org/dictionary.html

someone who is doubtful or noncommittal about something
of or pertaining to an agnostic or agnosticism
uncertain of all claims to knowledge
a person who claims that they cannot have true knowledge about the existence of God (but does not deny that God might exist)
wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

Agnosticism is the philosophical view that the truth values of certain claims, particularly theological claims regarding the existence of God, gods or deities, are either unknown or inherently unknowable. The term and the related agnostic were coined by Thomas Henry Huxley in 1869 and are also used to describe those who are unconvinced or noncommittal about the existence of deities as well as other matters of religion. ,
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnostic



all i gave you was a summary of the most important points there, so bro, if you dont belief God exists, you are an atheist. do you want me to google up atheist for you?

Her comment, "If God exists" is perfectly within the realm of agnosticism.

Africanboy, please quote where in all of my posts the sentence: I don't believe in God. Please PLEASE PLEASE! I'm getting frustrated.

Thanks for repeating what I just said and thanks for using google and whatever you did.

I'm waiting. Where in all of my posts did I say I didn't believe in God! PLEASE show me.

Agnostic: one who questions religious or spiritual beliefs, and who may choose not to claim any system of knowledge.

I doubt God's existence, I'm still waiting for a proof to actually believe there is a God

That makes me an Atheist?

BELIEVE, do you understand that word? Agnostics DON'T believe. I'm waiting for a proof that could change my views. Till then, I'll continue doubting. How is that so hard to comprehend?

It does not say that.

Yes, they are. Who wouldn't be jealous of a snuff film cloaked uder the guise of religious teachings, or something.

That's more like a deist.

Now you're just being daft.

Where did you hear that one from,for christ's sake?!Typical christians,always interpreting everything they read upside down!Is that the way you interprete ya bible,too?
The movie claimed that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene,sired a child with her,and their descendants live among us today.Rape ko,Group Intimacy ni.
BTW,i just saw the movie and it was excellent.I am definitely getting the DVD when it comes out.

The movie is a rousing success despite the bad reviews from the critics.The public just loves this movie!
[b]$224 million worldwide!![/b]And this is just the opening weekend!

@jagunlabi
for u to like d movie dat means ur not a christian. cos most christians dat watched the movie tot everything d movie said about Jesus was wrong.
am i right?

You can be both agnostic and atheist. Most so agnostics that deny their atheism are in fact atheists, as atheism/theism/deism reflect belief in a supreme being, not knoledge thereof.

I'm an agnostic atheist. I do not believe in God(s), but I cannot possibly have definite knowledge of his/her/their existence, though for all intents and purposes, the possibility that such a supreme being exists is so remote, that it does not have a serious impact on my thining and actions.

The Da Vinci Code (film) is a mediocre whodunnit, entertaining, but nothing more than that. the book is far better.

I really wonder what's so blasphemous in the portrayal of Jesus in the Da Vinci Code?

ok. I respect your opinion.

That's not my case.

reserving my comments until i finish reading the book. not watching the movie yet, after the book.
