It's been insanely busy here: with everyone having cook-outs/barbeques, work has been utter chaos; I think I did something to my shoulder, because right at the end of my shift Friday, I got this stabbing pain under my right shoulderblade. It seems okay now, but I'm leery of it. Plus, I seem to have a bit of ringing in the ears from having small ( Read more... )

So many people I know who have read That Book, say "WOW, it says that Jesus was married! So the Bible is wrong! He WAS married!" And I just say "Um, hello? It's FICTION"

Sadly, people are dumb enough to believe Dan Brown's book. Or rather, they are incurious enough to take what he says at face-value rather than actually looking into early Church history.

I still have yet to read a single page of Dan Brown's book. When I went to the library to get a copy, they were all either lost or checked out.

Isn't a video game taking things a bit far with this book? Most video games made after movies aren't very good anyhow.

"Paganism of the worshipping the male aspect variety (what do you call that actually?) as opposed to the Goddess-worship variety, since I just get plain anNOYed with the "embrace your inner Goddess" nonsense. It's a sacchrine version of the "Wymyn RULE; men DROOL" variety of feminism, which I just can't *stand*."

::Sigh:: We Call It Paganism. Dianic Wicca {That Which Focuses Only On Goddess Worship} Is One Single Branch Of Wicca. And Wicca Is One Single Branch Of Paganism. The GREATEST Majority Of Pagans Believe In A Male AND A Female Aspect Of Divinity Which Are Fully Equal And Perfectly Balanced And Complimentary To One Another. The Perfect Balance. {Just Like In Nature. You Need Both Male And Female For The Whole Thing To Work.} Sorry If This Comment Offends, But Just Like You Get Upset At People Not Having The Correct Information About YOUR Religion, I Don't Like Seeing MY Religion Generalised Incorrectly Either. ::Hugs:: So I Just Had To Get This Off My Chest. I Hope You Understand.

One of my flatmates last year was reading the book and it ended up being the topic of rather amused conversation. The general concensus seemed to be that it was probably bull but that it was an interesting idea. Their was also a bit of debate as to how you'd know who the last scion was if they actually existed that mostly seemed to center on the turning water into wine thing. No one really took it seriously.
