Fiction
I am sure everyone has head of The Da Vinci Code by now. I am also sure you have heard people talking bad about it. Kind of how some people are about Harry Potter. I don't get what the big deal is. They are both works of FICTION. I quote M-W: 1 a : something invented by the imagination or feigned; specifically : an invented story.
Did you see that? Fiction is something that is made up. It is an invented story. So what I want to know is why people get so upset about fiction. I could see the problem if it was not clear that something was fiction, but most of the time this stuff is clearly marked. Maybe I am missing something, if I am someone please tell me what it is.

the problem the religious right has with this movie is that people are taking it to be the real truth. they believe that jesus and mary m. had a relationship and a child. plus it also says that there is some sort of conspiracy through the ages to leave out books of the bible. i could go further to disprove this but all i wanted to do was answer your question. hope that helps...

Fiction or not, it's still sacrilege.
Since we're quoting definitions,
sacrilege
2 : gross irreverence toward a hallowed person, place, or thing

Good points. See this is why I ask. You people think of stuff I don't.

even though Jesus' entire life is not documented in the Bible it doesn't matter. we have to remember that the reason Jesus could die on the cross to take away our sins was the fact that He had no sin. i can't think he was ever "attracted" to a girl except that He loved everyone equallly. we are thinking of His life from a human perspective when in fact He was only human to the point that He had a human body. not thoughts or otherwise.

i wasn't downplaying jesus' life. he WAS only human in body form. if he were truly human he couldn't have not sinned...it is impossible. yes we are made in the IMAGE of God but we are below Him because we are not Him. it seems we are both kinda saying the same thing here.

He was conflicted because He was taking on the burden of our sins. I'm not disagreeing that pain may have been an issue but He obviously was conflicted about taking on the sins of humanity when He had no sin.

To answer the first question, the problem is people are stupid, pure and simple.
There will be people out there that go to see this Sci Fi movie, and take it as fact. Just like there are crazy people who practice Scientology even though it also was created by a Sci Fi author and written as Sci Fi. Even though that's true, I do believe their are tiny robots that are taking over Tom Cruise's mind. haha What a bunch of losers.
