What do you think of the Da Vinci Code?

Question

what is your opinion on it?

Answer 1

Erroneous garbage

Answer 2

I think that it has been disproven enough that it cannot be historical fact....I am a Christian but I even found it to be entertaining literature but I am not as narrow minded as many Christians are....it is a work of fiction....and if Dan Brown were trying to make a point that is fine but I took it as nothing more than an entertaining work of fiction....the movie was a little cheesy as I could never get past Tom Hanks hair...It made me read Dan browns other works as well as watch programs about it on the History and Discovery channel.....good story although conflicting with my faith, but just like Dan Brown I am free to believe as I want

Answer 3

I think it was an okay movie. It got kind of long at times, and I had a problem with how easily the two main characters solved riddles. For the most part, though, I viewed it as pure entertainment with small bits of history mixed in. My husband kept griping the whole movie about Tom Hank's hair. We even played a video game based on the movie the next week. Trust me, it was awful and should be played again by anyone.

Answer 4

Since it does relate to religion, the person who stated it was reported is out of line.
I agree with Mama...it is a great book, but it was stated as fiction. It is a scenario of what could have happened..but didn't..but, it would not change Christianity one iota if Jesus had been married. Some of the apostles were married. While there was a lot of corruption in the early Church, I don't think anything that big could be covered up.

Answer 5

I thought it was an interesting take on the research done in "Holy blood, Holy Grail" An an interesting view point of the whole issue. Do I believe there is some big conspiracy over the descendants of Jesus? While it is feasible, and entirely possible, I don't think the circumstantial evidence supports the claims.

Answer 6

The premise he based it on was very likely. The first commandment for a Jew is to be fruitful and to multiply; therefore, children married at very early ages. Men were not considered to be adults until they had married. If Jesus had not been married, he would not have been considered to have been an adult and he would have had no followers whatsoever.

The same still applies in the Muslim world. Men must be married before they can be taken seriously.

Answer 7

With this book Dan Browne exploited the tension that exists between Christians and Atheists and went laughing all the way to the bank.

Answer 8

As thriller fiction it rates a poor second to Umberto Eco's "The Name of the Rose" as well as his "Foucault's Pendulum".

As a device to create divisiveness it succeeded. *pity*

As a movie it was third rate, well behind the films of Agatha Christie's work.

As an attempt to promulgate a VERY old myth it is good.
But "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" did it better.

Overall, a mediocre effort that paid Dan Brown well. Wonder how he plans to spend it. Buying the fanciest coffin in the cemetery perhaps?

Answer 9

Its nothing but fictional drivel.Have you ever noticed that just before Christmas or Easter they always have something that will cause a uproar in the religious sector?What really gets me is,the author himself said it was all fiction ,nothing but made up stuff.Yet the non religious sector still wants to believe it is so.I have to admit it was good writing but I didn't approve of it.

Answer 10

The book is fiction. Yes, it is based on other writings that were presented as fact, but have yet to be proved. It's a good story, but it is totally fiction.

Answer 11

I think it was a fairly well written thriller novel that was never meant to be anything but fiction.

I think its translation to the big screen suffered greviously because of the involvement of the actors chosen for key roles.
