Angels & Demons: My Catholic view is...

first of that counts as flaming, second you don't have any form of decent argument to prove otherwise, third off the film is fictional even though it might be based on a current conspiracy theory.

One thing i'd like to point out is the language you used there Bas. what you do there is in conflict with christian beliefs already so how christian are you. the bible contradicts itself constantly and thiests wonder why people like myself don't believe.I think this is one of the reason that drove dan brown to write his books and turn them to movies, because he saw that there was something beyond what religion could provide, like fact,truth and a sense of intelligence. Religion provides childish fantasy of something watching over. this i think is something that dan brown might also believe but these are all assumations and i don't really know but those are just idea's.

Now to the topic itself without assumations as to why dan brown might've written and filmed these movies and books.you mentioned the thing about mary magdelene and how thats bullsh!t.look at the evidence and tell me that.the stuff in the books and films is just the tip of the iceburge.there is alot of evidence that wasn't in those movies so put that in you pipe and smoke it.

You think that you know everything on the subject about how it's aload of crap but yet to produce evidence on this thread to support your idea that all that stuff is wrong.i defy you to produce convincing evidence that what they say in those movies is wrong.

 

Yeah I wouldn't put too much thought into debating weather or not you see the movie. As a lot of people have already stated, it's a work of fiction. The movie Stigmata came under fire too for it's portrayal of the Catholic church as being an entity willing to dismiss true signs if God in order to maintain control of it's followers.

 

It's based on a very deep and interesting conspiracy theory, actually. A lot of the research used for the film (if not all of it) is likely linked to Jordan Maxwell. And Maxwell is a fantastic scholar imo.

Fantastic in the sense of thought-provoking; though I am not sure on his validity in his research.

 

I.e. Their interpretation of DragonBall(granted none of that stuff could happen in real life)

I have never read any of the books or seen the movies, but seriously? It's just a work of fiction that one man envisioned. He wrote it. They liked it. He made money. He scripted it. They liked it. He made more money. That's what runs this country, money. It shouldn't work that way, but it does. He has his interpretations and you have yours, which seem to be taking what the Bible says word for word. Which I believe limits creative thinking and creates close-mindedness. But whatever floats your boat, to each his own. See the movie or don't, it's up to you. I just find it ridiculous that you might not like what could be a great movie because it doesn't fit your religious beliefs.

 

i know it is but i just phrased it wrong sorry.

 

Why, how very hypocritical of you. =)

 

well first of all when i was going to see it i was not that thrilled

BUT!

i really liked it........ if you have not read the book(i am talking to everyone here) you may be surprised at the end

but yeah i liked it and i recommend watching it!

 

Flaming is classed with exclaimation points, profanities and not caring about anyone elses point of view except for those who agree.I welcome anyone with any proof as to what he said.

 

I thought that Angels & Demons was the first book i have read in a long time that actualy questioned peoples understanding of good and bad.....(Not a bad book).....ya, that might not make sense but it does to me....

 

hey if its not true then don't worry about it....unless it is true O__O

and there's something we call freedom of speech...so if U don't wanna hear what they say then just ignore it and go on with Ur life instead of seeing it and vomiting on an Athiest's Popcorn
