Do you believe the DaVinci Code is true?

Answer 1

No, the book is a work of fiction...a novel...and even states so right on the book. It is a very good novel though and I really enjoyed it. If you haven't read it, I recommend it.

Answer 2

It still amazes me about the amount of ppl who have answered this question (and others like it), who cannot look at a book or film or any piece of work that may look at their belief system from outside the square, with out getting on their high horse with comments such as: "There is no biblical foundation for it" - well of course there isn't THAT'S THE POINT!

or: " of course it isn't / It is just another ploy by the adversary, the devil to "try" to get our attention off of Jesus Christ!!! " - again conspiracy theorists could say that that is what the church wants you to believe so that the truth remains hidden.


or "well, its under the catogory as fiction, so i guess the question comes down to do you believe in science or religion". True the author said that it is a novel. But think about if the publisher had had the conviction to catergorise it as non-fiction there would be a much louder outcry than there has been. And the question does not come down to science or religion. Science has nothing to do with this book. The book doesn' t question religion as such but more trust in the truth and those that are supposed to be telling us the truth. Ppl with true faith would not doubt in Jesus just because he may have had some humanity. That's what brings him closer to us. One could argue that he was made incarnate so that we could understand true spirituality and the truth, but it appears we stuffed that up. Enough for now.

Answer 3

No.

I've done the research and looked at some of the book's claims. A lot of them are plain laughable. Constantine didn't browbeat the Council of Nicaea into declaring Jesus divine, there weren't 80 gnostic gospels floating around on equal footing with the four that are accepted today, the pope didn't order a king to wipe out the Knights Templar (in fact, it was more the other way around.) The Priory of Sion has been proven to be a hoax and Opus Dei is mostly full of regular people, quietly living a devout Catholic life.

In my own experience, I've seen how difficult it is for two people to keep anything a secret, let alone hundreds or thousands of people keeping a secret of this magnitude for two thousand years. Even if Leonardo did think Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene and showed that in his paintings (which I highly doubt) why should we take his word for it? He lived 1500 years after all that happened!

Answer 4

I personally think that aspects of the book are true, or why else would the Catholic Church make sure a stink over it? If something isnt true, just dont even comment about it, let people judge for themselves. While the book is a piece of fiction, I doubt that Brown could of categorized it as non fiction because people would of been even madder and he would of lost credibility about it. I think the book is a carefullly researched one, full of some facts that may be stretched a bit, but its based on actual facts. I see the book as the same as a Tom Clancy novel, a disguised piece of truthful events, thats made up as fiction. Clancy has his sources in the government as I am sure Brown had his sources in the religions and historical world.

Answer 5

Umm, even the author says it's a piece of fiction. Sure, it has a lot of actual historical material in it, but when is everyone going to get the twists out of their knickers and enjoy the material like it was intended?

Answer 6

The author of The Da Vinci Code talks about books' relevance to reality. Visit it. http://www.danbrown.com/novels/davinci_code/faqs.html

Answer 7

Well, if you think about it, it is kinda stretched in the movie, but I believe that there is a code, not necessarily the same as the movie, but definitely one out there waiting to be discovered!!!

Answer 8

Of course not. There is too many part in the story that don make any sense.

Answer 9

No. God does not work in "riddles & codes". Read the Bible it is really straight forward.

Answer 10

well, brown says that all the documents cited are true, so there's a lot of evidence supporting that, as opposed to little evidence supporting the new testament.......
