My Almost-daily Journal |
|
| About I love trying out new things, especially when it comes to internet technology. I never really kept a journal, but it's something that I've always wanted to do. Now, everybody will get a chance to look inside my twisted, and somewhat-warped mind.
I've also subscribed to Audio Blog, so a few times a week, I'll leave actual voice blogs. Very cool!XML Newsfeed Previous Posts

The DaVinci Code I'm almost done reading The DaVinci Code. I think that my friend Steve Egleston lent it to me. Now I think we have two copies in my house. Note to self: remember to give back this book to Steve. I know the book is totally fiction, and totally made to entertain the masses. But what this book does offer me, personally, is REASONABLE doubt of the Church's original motives of early Christianity. Here is a quote from US News and World Reports "Secrets of the DaVinci Code": "What I find interesting about Dan Brown's book is that it raises a very important question: If they-- meaning the leaders of the Church-- suppressed so much of eary Christian history, what else don't we know about? What else is there to be known? And as a historian, I think it's a really important question because the answer means a great deal." - Professor Elaine Pagels I personally denounce Christianity. No offense to its followers, of course. Just don't ask me to come to Bible Study, and don't bring prayer into my schools or civic functions. Keep your religion at home. I think the next step is to demand from the Catholic Church, namely, The Vatican, that they turn over all historical records, art works, notes, scrolls, books, etc., to historians for review. Can The Vatican be sued or subpoenaed? If they don't comply, we use force. What the heck are we waiting for? Oh... lemme guess...

The book is great, I rented it on a long drive a few weeks back. Much better than reading it.
