Dan Brown and the Da Vinci Code
Dan Brown is a great communicator and storyteller, but he is a failure in the philosophy and history departments. He seems to be emotional and angry with the established church for its historical oppression of women (listen to this talk) and he holds to the erroneous idea that "history is written by the winners." The problem with that idea is that losers have also written a lot of history. Josephus was a Jewish Historian, in spite of the destruction and defeat of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. Not only this but just because the winner writes history doesn't mean necessarily that he is going to twist the history to make himself look better. He might. Brown assumes he must.
Brown has an obvious agenda to promote his own New Age-styled Pluralism (this is confirmed in his talk). The masses will watch the movie. Many have already read the book. Most will be confirmed in what they already sort of believed, namely, if I am just a good person, surely that will get me to God somehow or another, if there is such a being. After all they think, as Brown failingly attempts to show, the Bible cannot be trusted.

If this the man I think it is,he presented something about Jesus and Mary Magdeline being married and having a child.Well,I believe that Jesus could not have been married because He would not have been the Savior.If He was married,then how could He be our savior when His devotion would be to his family,wife and child.That does not make any sense to me.This is getting more and more on the entertainment and fictional stories type of productions,than actual events.It is entertaining to me cause it's so false that it has to make you laugh.But,I also feel saddened to,that so many buy into the lie,and write it,and make movies about it.Also,look at the way that Hollywood and others make Jesus look in the movies.He looks as if he's been out at California surfing,with his golden locks of hair and dreamy blue eyes,and not to mention the bronze tan.Come on,it is so glamorized!I'll be blunt,Jesus came from the Middle East region,so He probably had really dark skin and dark hair,and please don't take this wrong people,but He probably looked somewhat like our enemies who we are in constant war with over oil.What I really want to know is,what was Dan Browns purpose in the book?What was he trying to show us,or portray to us and most importantly,was this for the goodness of Gods kingdom or just to impose a different belief because he got bored with the same thing that the Bible has always said? If we as Christians stick to our beliefs in what we know to be the TRUTH, then we will see that this is just another ploy to get us to turn away and fall into the "worlds ways" and be acceptable in "mans eyes".
I really do not see how Jesus' relationship with Mary Magdalene would affect him as our Savior. Even Jesus himself was born with a family,with parents. Having a family of his own would make no difference.
What interested me most about the book is the subject about the lost sacred feminine.
I believe that God is both: masculinity and femininity. God did not create Eve as a slave and inferior being to Adam, but as a companion, his supposedly other half. But I am saddened by the fact that over a hundred years, God is portrayed only as a masculine being, the Father. Even nuns were not given the right to become priests to better serve the Lord, just because they are simply women.
