Da Vinci Code - thoughts of a mad man!!!

I was wandering around the house, doing a bit of daily cleaning, feeling joyful because the sunlight was streaming through the windows and jnr turning hte house upside down...getting lost in my thoughts, considering changes of spring and renewal and the new year beakoening... I started thinking about ties that bond us.....what keep that bond thru relationships and religion..

Dun let me start talking bout religion and belief..I punch so many holes thru there the hole in the Titanic would be a pimple...its not cussing or discouraging ppl to believe but... trying to understand why they believe... Religion and Belief

As human we are ke-po-chi...lol...yeah we are...We all have a need to know where we come from, why we are here, what our purpose is and if there is something greater out there in the universe. Having a higher greatness or a life beyond this one is something we all desire and are curious about. It’s an innate trait that humans have. Part of that quest to discover our spirituality requires some direction. We want to know where we fit in the big picture. We want answers to what will happen next. To think that when this life is over that we completely cease to exist is almost inconceivable to is. We have so many question where (in my opinion) no one in the present life that we know and our generation before could not also answer or hand down the answers.

That is why so many people are drawn to religion. It gives us some common ground with like minded people on the theories behind all these big questions. So then you have all the branches of religion, each with there own idea of the answers. I think most religions are similar in their norms and morals.

Reading DaVinci Code (DVC) open my eyes to ever more grey area..what if you woke up and very foundation ur belifef, ur life has been tailored upon was fake, was man made, was actually a story,... as I read thru the book it was punching holes and asking question and in certain aspects the right kind of questions...go read it before the movies comes out. Trust me its worth it.

Alas DVC is a fiction thriller but god dammed it punched holes alright.

"History is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon." -Napoleon - how true that is and how similar that is our beliefs

"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind." -Albert Einstein

WOW...Blockbuster perfection. An exhilaratingly brainy thriller. Not since the advent of Harry Potter has an author so flagrantly delighted in leading readers on a breathless chase and coaxing them through hoops.
--Janet Maslin THE NEW YORK TIMES


A stunning new thriller that will provoke much debate. Dan Brown's extensive research on secret societies and symbology adds intellectual depth to this page-turning thriller. His surprising revelations on Da Vinci's penchant for hiding codes in his paintings will lead the reader to search out renowned artistic icons as The Mona Lisa, The Madonna of the Rocks and The Last Supper. The Last Supper holds the most astonishing coded secrets of all and, after reading The Da Vinci Code, you will never see this famous painting in quite the same way again. --BOOKREPORTER.COM
