The Da Vinci Code controversy.
May 12th, 2006 | by john |People are calling The Da Vinci Code a controversy. Why? It is a work of fiction. It is a thriller. As infamous as I am for making up random (and yet sometimes stupid) similes, this ‘controversy’ is like human existence getting angry at machines after watching The Matrix. How ridiculous does it sound to ask for a disclaimer in the beginning of The Matrix? If it did, what is it going to say?

How was that for a half-hearted chuckle?
Although I am neither an evangelist or even a frequent church-goer, I believe and have faith in God. This book has not affected my faith. This movie will not affect my faith. The church asks the people for faith; it should learn to have faith in the people.
