More Insights about Brown's Useless Book - Da Vinci Code
The Da Vinci Code: The facts behind the fiction - Amy Welborn
What is The Da Vinci Code?
The Da Vinci Code is a novel by Dan Brown that has held one of the top two or three places on best-seller lists since early summer. More than 3 million copies (ed: now over 40 million) are in print.
In Brown's novel, the "Da Vinci code" refers to cryptic messages supposedly incorporated by Leonardo Da Vinci into his artwork. According to the novel, Leonardo was a member of an ancient secret society called the "Priory of Sion" dedicated to preserving the "truths" that Jesus designated Mary Magdalene as His successor, that His message was about the celebration of the "sacred feminine," that Jesus and Mary Magdalene were married and had children and that the Holy Grail of legend and lore is really Mary Magdalene, the "sacred feminine," the vessel who carried Jesus' children.
Sounds like an intriguing bit of lost history. Is it? Long story short: No.
Is the Holy Grail really the "sacred feminine?"
The legend of the Holy Grail has taken many forms throughout history, but it has always identified the Grail as the cup Jesus used at the Last Supper. The idea of identifying it as the "sacred feminine" and tying it into a supposed bloodline emanating from a union of Jesus and Mary Magdalene is lifted whole cloth from the 1981 classic of inventive esoteric wackiness, Holy Blood, Holy Grail.
Is the "Priory of Sion" a real group?
No. Brown begins his book with a statement, under the title "Fact," that there are documents supporting the existence of the Priory in the Bibliotheque Nationale. These documents have long been understood to be forgeries, placed in the archives by an anti-Semitic supporter of the Vichy government named Pierre Plantard.
Does Da Vinci's The Last Supper really contain a code?
No. First, the idea that Da Vinci used any kind of code pertaining to any issue Dan Brown raises is unsupported by art historians.
Brown says that in this painting Da Vinci is telling us that the figure always identified as John the Evangelist is really Mary Magdalene, and that these two figures together form an "M," and that, because there is no grail in the picture, Da Vinci is telling us the "grail" is the sacred feminine of Mary Magdalene.
Unfortunately for Brown, art historians tell us that the effeminate-looking John is quite a typical representation for the time, as is a Last Supper portrayal emphasizing betrayal rather than the institution of the Eucharist. In addition, the Last Supper is a dramatization of a scene from the Gospel of John, in which the institution narrative is not even described. No chalice? No problem. In context, it makes sense.
Besides being logically and historically flawed, The Da Vinci Code is filled with more minor, but no less risible, errors.
Here are a few:
One of Brown's scholars says, "As the prophesied Messiah, Jesus toppled kings, inspired millions and founded new philosophies." We'd like to meet those toppled kings.
The Emperor Constantine did not make Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire in A.D. 325. It happened under Theodosius 50 years later.
Gothic architecture was not "masterminded" by the Knights Templar, a medieval military order that had nothing to do with the construction of Gothic cathedrals.
The Church did not burn 5 million witches during the Middle Ages. During the period 1400-1800, an estimated 30,000-50,000 people accused of witchcraft (20 percent of whom were men) were executed by Catholic and Protestant institutions and governments.

Da Vinci Code - The Good for Nothing & Non-Sense Book
What is happening to people? People are making this good for nothing book a best selling book.
Some atheist argue and support Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code movie/novel, they are appreciating the depth of the subject, effort and creativity. Some people are talking about growing up.
It's absolutely non-sense, i think the whole idea of this book/moive is purely ANTI CHRIST. It's insane to make jesus christ as main subject to point out. all this for make his (brown) living and to make more money.
brown is a very good best seller novel writer, instead of writing some comforting, inspiring books, which are very essential in this cruel & complicated world. Certainly brown is mis-using his talent to write such crap about christ.
its real sad that brown being a christian wrote such a novel. I doubt, whether he goes to church every sunday and listens to the word of god.

I have Learned
I've learned...
. . . that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is stalk them, hope they panic and give in.
. . . that no matter how much I care, some people are just assholes.
. . . that it takes years to build up trust, and only suspicion, not proof, to destroy it.
. . . that you shouldn't compare yourself to others - they are more f*cked up than you think.
. . . that you can keep puking long after you think you're finished.
. . . that we are responsible for what we do, unless we are celebrities.
. . . that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades, and there had better be a lot of money to take its place.
. . . that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down will be the ones who do.
. . . that we don't have to ditch bad friends because their dysfunction makes us feel better about ourselves.
. . . that no matter how you try to protect your children, they will eventually get arrested and end up in the local paper.
. . . that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon and all the less important ones just never go away.

FAMILY
Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family we left behind will feel the loss for the rest
of their lives.
And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than into our own family, an unwise investment indeed, don't you think? So what is behind the story?
Do you know what the word FAMILY means?
FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU
of their lives.

Thoughts for Life
You can't make someone love you, all you can
do is be someone who can be loved, the rest
is up to the person to realize your worth.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No one can go back and make a brand new start.
Anyone can start from now and make a brand
new ending.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
God didn't promise days without pain, laughter
without sorrow, sun without rain, but He
did promise strength for the day, comfort
for the tears, and light for the way.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disappointments are like road bumps, they slow
you down a bit but you enjoy the smooth road
afterwards. Don't stay on the bumps too long.
Move on!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you feel down because you didn't get what
you want, just sit tight and be happy, because God has thought of something
better to give you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When something happens to you, good or bad,
consider what it means.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There's a purpose to life's events, to teach you how
to laugh more or not to cry too hard.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's better to lose your pride to the one you love,
than to lose the one you love because of pride.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We spend too much time looking for the right person
to love or finding fault with those we already love,
when instead we should be perfecting the love we give.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Never abandon an old friend. You will never find one
who can take his place. Friendship is like wine, it gets
better as it grows older.
do is be someone who can be loved, the rest
is up to the person to realize your worth.

My New Sony Music System
The clarity is Awesome!!! of course "Sony is Sony". :-)And the sound is mind blowing...
specially Dire Straits - Money for Nothing song...the initial beats in the song are thumping... its amazing!!!
Is there a God?
What difference does it make, in terms of concrete choices? Would you suddenly stop trying to be a good person if it were revealed that there is no God? Would you suddenly become an altruist if you learned there was? What's right is right, whether or not God exists, and the qualities that make a good person are widely agreed upon in any case. Is there any reason to care, aside from pure curiosity?
The questions that do affect concrete choices have to do with the rather more general question, "Does an entity with the power and motivation to do X exist?" For example, selfish people considering a conversion to altruism want to know if God exists and will hold them to account. Even if you knew whether or not God existed, it wouldn't answer the question. If you knew that God existed, you couldn't conclude God was interested in holding you to account. If you knew that God didn't exist, you couldn't conclude that no entity held the power of retribution.
When you know exactly why it matters whether or not God exists, when you know what choices depend on the question and why, and exactly which type of entity would satisfy the definition of "God" for that purpose, you will usually find that you already know the correct choice. - by Eliezer S. Yudkowsky
