I saw the movie, i read the book, and so i understand everything they are trying to pass accross up to its minutest detail. but can it be true?
anyone who has read the book, or better still,seen the movie THE DA VINCI CODE will not find what i have afore said strange.
The writer of the book Dan Brown along with a teeming number of scientists, reserachers, archiologists, and all what not would have us believe that Jesus was indeed married to mary magdalini and the begat a daughter , and mary fled to paris and her descendants birthed the merovingian dynasty and the blood line continued like that.
They also tried to prove that history as the church would have it,and as it is in the bible,(including all the miracles of Jesus) was as a result of resolutions reached at the council of Nicea presided over by the Emperor Constantine who was in fact a pagan who only wanted to unite the then Roman Empire under one religion.
These claims were substantiated by the support rendered it by the paintings of the renaissance painter Leonardo Da Vinci. one of these is the painting of the last supper where he painted a female figure, supposedly mary magdalini, on the left hand side of Jesus at the table.

one is then forced to ask the question , Could all these be true? for someone with the kind of background i,and indeed a substantial number of us have, have, it would be considered an abberation to believe in such things, but with a plethora of facts such as those presented by these historians, what would/should the rational mind hold true?

what would/should the rational mind hold true?

Nothing. Avoid religious dogmata. It'll do you no good.

Dan Brown's work The Da Vinci Code is sitting where it belongs: the fiction shelf.

@Topic                                                                                                                                 So-called religious leaders are afraid of this movie because it attacks Christianity and exposes it for what it really is…a fallacy. They're afraid that people will sift it through and find the truth that they have kept hidden from you for too long.

Those who have sifted it through have found the Da Vinci Code exactly what it is: fiction.

I love the book! It's fiction and a good reading. No need to get twisted up if you have faith in your belief.

i agree wt u on dat one.
