Why are our Christian Ministers/ MPquiet over Da Vinci?
-
The movie about 'Breaking the Da Vinci Code' is less controversial and is shallower by all counts when compared to the book itself.
Why will the secular (atheist) Singapore Government get itself embroiled over a movie, when the book is available at all bookstores ?

anyway the people who think the book speaks the truth... ur F**King problem ok... dont get others involved in you dam useless imaginations... -
Actually, i find all the so-called protests about the show, especially from the Christian and Catholic faiths, rather amusing.
They rant that Muslims are overly-sensitive.
Just look at their own belligerent response now...
It's FICTION dammit! -
yup, movie damn boring..... sheer waste of money. Not faithful to the book.Originally posted by oxford mushroom:the movie damn boring la..
Why protest? Let people watch it...I dun believe any christians will lose faith by watching it, although they will certainly lose good money on it -

If they preach and practice their narrow perspective of what they deem to be their 'religion', what kind of argument, no matter how substantiated, can hope to influence them or their decisions?

Old folks says since it can be shown on the cinemas then it must be the real truth or else how can it be shown in the cinemas
Now a lot of old folks talk about this movie and laughs -
rumour has it that most world leaders are members of the new world order, illuminati, descendants of jesus

I've read the book, it's not that blasphemous.. but then, it's my personal opinion.Originally posted by laurence82:Thing is, its not intended to be a fiction by the author, and it is used primarily as a charge against Muslims. -
The Illuminati are a different kettle of fish altogether. Don't confuse the 2 groups.Originally posted by OldMan:rumour has it that most world leaders are members of the new world order, illuminati, descendants of jesus

hehe, I find even the book damn boring lor. I would read Lord of the Ring the second time, keep Indiana Jones DVD, I won't even pay RM7 for Da Vinci Code.Originally posted by Chin Eng:yup, movie damn boring..... sheer waste of money. Not faithful to the book.
But I think if anybody were to write a fiction about a conspiracy involving LKY, a big bank account with billions in Bank of China, Chinese government, Shuzhou development.....this fiction or whatever story, will be banned and the author sued. -
cause there's something called secularism? and just because a religious body objects to something doesnt mean that their views can be enforced on the rest of usOriginally posted by spurs88:Can't understand why our Christian Ministers/MPs are so quiet over the screening of the movie, Da Vinci Code in S'pore?
Aren't they supposed to speak up for Christians like what our MM said they are elected to do when GRCs in elections are first introduced, just like what the Malay Ministers/MPs are doing for their Muslim community issues? -
Lucky Adam and Eve no Chinese..If we have chinese Adam and Eve, this is likely...Originally posted by maggot:The forbidden fruit tastes better
If Adam and Eve were Chinese, we would still be in paradise because Chinese would have ignored the apple and eaten the snake!
Just for laugh only.. -
Looks like SIngaporeans never fail to kpkb.....not even christians.
