Read the story here.
I
understand what Opus Dei is wanting out of Sony. While Sony can say all
they want that this is “a thriller and not a religious tract,” the fact
of the matter is that this is going to be the only picture of Jesus
that many people will see. Sony could show some respect to all of
Christendom and say up front that this is a fictional account. It sure
isn’t historical and sure isn’t accurate. I don’t care who might attack
me on this (and judging by the amount of views I get, that will be
nobody) but if someone wanted to create a movie about Mohammed and
attacked the basic beliefs of Islam, would it get made? Not likely.
I
read the DaVinci code before I knew what it was about. I’m glad that I
knew Jesus before I did that. It was pretty easy to spot where they
were going after it got started. If you really want to read the book,
it’s a pretty good page-turner. However, the actual story is a pile of
crap. Jesus didn’t have children and wasn’t married. Simple as that.
