The “Da Vinci Code” Controversy

Have you read the book?
If you have what are your thoughts about it?
Are you going to go see the movie? And Why?

These questions are basically the main discussion among the Coptic Egyptian community in the U.S. nowadays, and some other non-Egyptian Christians.

Before I begin to say anything, lets say that the Da Vinci Code is just a work of fiction. Don’t you agree? So whatever the book/movie states shouldn’t be taken to heart and shouldn’t shake one's beliefs as well.

The debate that I have been coming across nearly every day now since the movie is out in theatres is: should you or shouldn't you watch the movie?.

-Some say “it’s just a fiction movie, what’s wrong with watching it?”
-Others say, “If you go watch it, you’re promoting the Messages in the movie, and helping it succeed. How could you go watch a movie that’s delivering the wrong picture and beliefs about Mary M., Jesus and Christianity?”

Where do_you_stand? And why?


For those of you who haven’t read the book or don’t know anything about the story, this site is to give you an idea :)

Introduction!

So it seems like everybody invaded the Blogging world but me.
Thought I’d give it a try since a lot of people have been asking me why I don’t have a blog or that I should have one, yadiyadiyada
I’m not really convinced with the idea, but what the heck! Right?
Who knows I might end up being a regular blogger!

So here goes my first blog. Don’t worry I won’t babble on a lot since I don’t have much to say anyway :)
let’s just say my first blog would be a brief introduction...

I’m a 20-year-old Egyptian American girl. Been here, in Seattle, for around 8 years as of this year (2006). I was born in Egypt, but sadly I didn’t live there long enough :(
Class of 2004- Edmonds woodway High school. And As of fall 2006 I will be transferring to Central Washington University to finish a BS in Business.

Well enough for now. I think I bored you to death already!

Will say more in the next blog :)

good day
