the mind chooses to see what it believes.

ultimately, it doesn't matter what you see but what you believe.

the da vinci code will show non-christians a side of christianity that's so unconventional they may actually like it, packed in this extremely entertaining chase for the holy grail. it will give christians a lot of explaining to do. why the controversy? it makes christians and non-christians think- do we believe too easily? do we believe what we see without a question? is jesus "the greatest lie" according to the da vinci code?

when i read the book i was really convinced by dan brown. then when i watched the movie i started to see the flaws. even if the church did decide which gospels they wanted, but if you believe in God, you believe he's all powerful, surely he's already known what gospels will be in his bible, and surely all the gospels of today's bible are there for his reason. i don't think God is so weak and vulnerable to have to have the priory of sion help him to fight for a secret bloodline. if you want to question why those gospels were chosen for the bible, you might as well question why those writers, and then you might as well question God. wait a second, who are you to question God? even if Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene, it doesn't deny the fact that all the gospels, including those rejected, say that Jesus was a wonderful person who preached love and did many miracles because he believed in One God.

and if you believe in the power of numbers, then you will know that if the church did vote on which gospels/doctrine should be inside the bible, simple maths, surely majority wins for a reason.

its an entertaining story, but its a story. so Dan Brown says in the story, it doesn't matter what you see, but what you believe.

yeah, ironic, cos those da vinci advocates should really learn from this line. it doesn't matter what you see in the movie, but what you believe. is God real or not? does he exist, and if he's living right now, he must have the power to preside over everything in life, and i'm sure that includes the book about him.
