The Da Vinci Code

[Kirby Ate Vash]

Hey after reading the da vinci code a year ago i decided to make a thread

In the book they say that posiden's trident was changed by the chatiotic(Spelling not right) church to make it the devil's trident and Amon, the god of fertility, was used as the devil . also the goddess Venus's sign was used as the devils sign another thing was that da Vinci the painter named the Mona Lisa after the god Amon and Ilsa and made half the pic a boy and the other half a girl. another thing was Walt Disney(yes the guy who made disney land) Had Ariel from the little mermaid made after a god( i forgot who) and one part in the Lion King the Word SEX flew over Simpas face.

Does that seem strange to you and wat do u think about those facts

[Broken Angel]

Maybe you should send a copy to Gainax.

da vinci's code was a very interesting book. i learned alot reading da code. i'm looking more into it. it was way better than angels and demons.

yeah about that simba and sex thing u know they have hidden stuff in alot of the dinsey movies... i forgot which ones and what stuff but there are more like that... and that is kinda wierd

[_TheNoLifeKing_]

they took the croos from the ahrk and isis worship ways. Alot was stolen by christianity

[BeatExeter710]

Yea, I've heard a couple bits of info on the crazy people at Disney who were apparently sex-deprived perverts. But, The DaVinci Code was one of my favorite books. Although it has elements of truth through mythology, like the Knights Templar and obviously Jesus Christ, and also some bits of information which are false, like Jesus Christ having a child with Mary Magdalene.

If you have also read the prequel, Angels and Demons it is a great book as well. If you liked mostly the pictures and riddles in The DaVinci Code, then you'll be dissappionted that there are only a handful of pictures in the book, but many many riddles and puzzles to be found. If you can deal a picture without pictures, and you can follow the story intently enough, then you will greatly enjoy this book. :wave:

My brother read that in one day. It looks like a good book.

ya i read that too and dont forget the book decepetion point

[oceanbluebaby]

most all of it is true
everything in the symbology department was at least

the thing about jesus being n outcast if he wasnt married is total bull though
in a line they say that in the jewish church he would be an outcast if he wasnt married to at least one woman.... they dont say, however, that there are many diff. tribes at this time and that some of them did NOT look down on the fact that he didnt marry

although i really dont care if he was married or not there is one thing that is the most BS i have ever heard in my life
HE DID NOT HAVE AN OFFSPRING!
this would defeat the whole purpose of what he was... stupid ****s
it was a very good book though

[T-Virus002]

I'm probably gonna get flammed for this but I haven't even read the DaVinci Code but I can already tell its just a bunch of lies just like the Apothecary. Come on, Jesus having offspring? And if it even mentions Jesus(though what they say is a lie) then why the hell introduce all of these other "gods"? For me there is only ONE GOD and thats it. Oceanbluebaby ur right about that thing about Jesus, caus since the code said he had a child, it does go against his purpose. Jesus came to enlighten the pharasies and the people, and to even change the rules now, for it says "I am in the father, and the Father is in me. If anyone wants the Father, he must go through me."

[pInkMyCOOkieLit]

i read that too! and the word sex was OVER simba's head, floating on the dust...and the god Amon is where we get the word HORNY from...haha, well...that book really freaked me out with the desciption of "madonna of the rocks" when they said that mary was trying to scratch a invisible head or crap...it's not good for christions, becuz it made me re-question my faith...i am recovering tho...but it's really an interesting book to read

[T-Virus002]

I think that I MIGHT read it just to laugh at it because of its inacracy and untruthfulness. Meh why not read something for kicks ya know?

[vash_stampede]

i wanna read this book now, it seems intriquing

[OtakuBerserker]

i love that book. im reading the other one right now. i left it at school so i dont remember the name but i think its like Angels and Demons or something.....i only started it on thursday...

[jus*me]

This remind of a
some one in my class
made a joke about this
with mona lisa

[Kirby Ate Vash]

there's 4 of em the da vinci code, angles and demons, decpetion point, and the interinaty(spelling) code

so far im reading angles and demons and deception point but i recommend angles and demons more.


P.S. Angles and demons's ending makes ppl really horrny really

SPOILER ENDING
"When all the food was eaten, Langdon retired to the edge of his bed where he sat alone, turning the Illuminati Diamond over and over in his hands, making repeated comments about the miracle of its symmetry. Vittoria stared at him, her confusion growing to an obvious frustration.
"You find that ambigram terribly interesting, don't you?" she demanded.
Langdon nodded.

blah blah too lazy to copy the whole page but heres my favorite part

Vittoria slipped off her robe. "You've never been to bed with a yoga master, have you?" :eek5: :lick:

[lilmizkong]

ooh dang that is strange. I like Leonardo Da Vinci ^_^ I learned something today.
How awesome. lol.

[Juhi]

that book was so awesome! i learned sooo much from it, and the riddles and stuff just amazed me so much.
one thing i found really cool, was that sex was looked at in such a different point of view. it really just changed the way i saw it. i really want to go to that musuem.. the llovure? i know thats wrong, i forgot how to spell it.. but ya, im definetly gonna buy angels and demons. dan brown is really really good.

[KaitlinRainey]

I haven't read the DaVinci Code yet, but I will after I read the prequel to it...Angels and Demons (what I'm reading now). This one is very weird, but good, so I'm sure the DaVinci Code is cool too. ^_^

[KazeDaBlackWind]

To what OceanBlue and T-Virus said.
The whole point of the book was to show how the Catholic Church manipulated the story of Jesus to fit their own means, creating a figurehead for the religion. You say the offspring thing is BS, since you're taking from previous knowledge gained from the church. Which is exactly the point, the church made this image of Jesus as a white, beyond-human-in-terms-of-righteousness-and-human-temptation man. This crosses over into a religious belief factor, but I guess you can't talk about the book without treading those waters.
And on the other gods thing, Virus.
Brown did not suggest that these were real gods up in the heavens; they were referring to Egyptian mythology and writings. He used them just for historical context to back up his point that symbols change with the times, as do ideals. Which leads me to what OceanBlue said.
People don't look down on the fact that he was not married now. But like Juhi said, sex and marriage meant something different back then. It was fine if a man did not marry, unless he proclaimed himself to be holy back then. A man needed to be complete, to have another half, to be holy. Most of the tribes, groupings, and people of that area and time have been proven to believe in this.
Everything Brown wrote, with the exclusion of the Knights of Templar (which did exist at a time) finding Mary's remains, was true. Of course, the basic story and mystery was, fiction too.
As for anything else, mostly the child thing, its all in you're religious belief. If you believe Jesus was the Son of God, sent here for the reason of...etc, then of course you won't like or accept the book's turn on that. If you believe he was just a man, then it shouldn't be too far-fetched. Either way, the book is still good, and almost everyone should like it overall.
I didn't mean to argue; it’s just the facts.
The book was a fun read, went really quickly. Recommended, whether you're religious or not.

[T-Virus002]

Well first of all, Jesus is not white. He was Nazarien. Now lets do a little study right now. Ok so whe all know that the Egyptians where dark-skinned. and the Hebrews are light-skinned. Now, Nazariens are in the middle. They are of a middle tone. It says in the bible that Jesus and his deciples were of a tan complextion and had coiled, ruff hair. Hmm, Coiled Ruff Hair....doesn't sound white to me! But I don't think that Jesus married Mary Magdaline, it just doesn't make sense. it might be because of my religion, but It just doesn't make sense. And I'm not Catholic either, I'm a mix of Methodist,Episcapalien, and Baptist. And I do want to read the Da Vinci Code just to laugh at it caus I know that it is false.

[KazeDaBlackWind]

Jesus is not white
Yeah...thats what I said.
Thats what the book says.
And if you look at what I wrote you would see I said: " ...the church made this image of Jesus as a white..."
As in, the church manipulating the truth to make Jesus fit the mold of perfection in their eyes.
Theres plenty of writings and evidence to show that Jesus did marry her. The only opposing arguments are rumors of her being a prostitute, etc. You can't say its false if you're just going on blind rumors and following everything you hear blindly. How do YOU know its false? Because of what you hear from elders? Who have followed what thier elders told them and so on. If no one checks to make sure rumors are fact, then any rumor can become truth.

[_TheNoLifeKing_]

While the book is very good Ive actualy heard allot of people of preofessors, etc. discrediting brown. his book still is a large part fictional.

[BeatExeter710]

I'm reading Deception Point right now! Its really good! Even though I dont like politics much, the whole science meteorite theory is interesting. Havent finsihed it yet, dont spoil it!!

Mary Magdaline was a prostitue. Jesus saved her. Ever noticed how he never was with the pharaseis rather, he was with the lowest of the low. He was found with the tax collectors, those who commmited adultry, and the prostituest. He never married her, he loved her, but never married her. He loved everyone and he died for our sins, that was his purpose. HIm marring Mary makes no sense, for it delets his purpose. Not to spread propaganda on the Catholic church, but, half of the time they really don't know what they are saying and end up worshiping idols and the wrong things.

[Kirby Ate Vash]

im now reading deceptions point too and i just finished angels and demons

but in the bible mary was a prostitue but in the book they say she wasnt actually a prostituse it was actually a cover up for the chrisitian chruch

[WoNDaH x BoY]

Angels And Demons...wow... Damn A Must Read No Doubt Fo Sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Read It More Than Once... Learn Something New Each Time!

Gotta Start Da Vinci Code Now...

Sometimes I Consider Dan Brown A Genious Of Some Sort.

Again, there is no direct proof of that. And no, The Last Temptation of Christ is not a source. Though there is plenty to support the other idea. I won't go into the purpose of Jesus, becuase that delves into personal belief.

[inexity]

And I'm not Catholic either, I'm a mix of Methodist,Episcapalien, and Baptist. And I do want to read the Da Vinci Code just to laugh at it caus I know that it is false.

I would think people of these denominations would know how to spell their religious beliefs. I don't know how you can be a mix of Methodist/Episcopalian/and Baptist, but if you would like to explain your case then please do. As for The DaVinci Code, as i understand it, is written with factual content. I don't know what you're arguing about T-Virus, but isn't it a little hard to follow 3 different religious beliefs? thats just my 2 cents.

[T-Virus002]

Kaze there is proof, its called the Bible. Read it if you like. oh and inexity, Methodist and Episcopalian are both protistan. Baptist is also like a protistan. Its mainly how the churches worship differently. The Baptist and Episcopalian churches I go to are joyful when they worship. The Methodist one really isn't but that is soon to change

[Dimensionblaze]

I think I need to read that book for summer reading this year. It sounds better then the rest of the books i also have to read...

Actually none of those are except Baptist. It is the only denomination of Protestant reform. Although the Episcopal Church isnt within the Protestant branch either its much like the Angelican Church which believes in a middle route between the Catholic and Protestant beliefs. Also it is popular in America. I've never really seen anyone or believe you can be a mix of those three denominations. If you were you're holding contradictory beliefs, seeing how they each hold beliefs that dont all go along with each other.

[ssx]

is it a good book? so far it sounds good from the post.

[kux0]

ariel was modeled after mary magdelene

[Icewind]

my cus likes that book she sez she cant put it down

[LayDeexTrinity]

What the hell is The Da Vinci Code all about?

I want to read it now.

I thought it was all about the artist (Leonardo da Vinci). ;_;

Does that seem strange to you and wat do u think about those facts

well u do no that it is only a story rite? but if u have read it then u would no that the way the author melts it all together makes fact indistuingishable from fiction. ppl have written unofficial guides on it in the book stores trying to tell which part of it is (non)fiction. o did u no it was number one on the book review for more then a year? now its like number five but then again... its been more then 70 weeks so i think that shows what a great book this is. yes in case u couldnt tell ive read that book. i would love to see the face of a serious christian or catholic when they read the ideas that are presented in this story. anger? amusement?
