Why Christians ought not to watch the Da Vinci Code

Hi everyone, before opinions start flying about regarding my title of this post, let me just say that I obtained the following excerpt from an email that is being circulated around the internet. Here it is:

Dear all,

A question: if a man beats up your father, would you then pay him $10 to watch the video of the beating? No, of course you wouldn't. Why would you wanna do something like that? It's crazy.

How about paying $10 to watch a movie that trashes the very figure of Christianity that you have come to know and love? The Da Vinci Code claims Jesus had sex with Mary Magdalene and had a child together. Sure it's a work of fiction, you say. However, the cover of the book claims the story is based on facts. It's very convenient also that the author failed to point out which are facts and which are not.

Hence, many people have been misled into believing Jesus did indeed had sex with a woman and that He was not all that special. Afterall, if Jesus had sex then that just means that He gave in to sin (coz he couldn't control his sexual desire) which also makes Him normal like the rest of us.

So then, why would you want to profit a person who insults your faith? Why would you want to put money in the pocket of a man who repeatedly refused to back down from his hare-brained claims? According to him, your Bible is nothing more than a fairy tale story fit for bedtime.

Jesus stood alongside me throughout many difficult moments of my life. It's now my turn to stand alongside Him. I'm sure He has stood alongside many of you many times before as well. So, I urge you to join me in boycotting this movie. It's not very often we get a chance to stand up for Him like this...

Doing my part for Him
