Tad Williams' Message Board

Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies -- 'God damn it, you've got to be kind.'
-    Kurt Vonnegut, 1922-2007

Re: da vinci

My (tenuous) understanding of it was that The DaVinci Code was based on a rather old and frequently recycled myth. And by old I mean as old as Christianity.

Re: da vinci

Yeah it was based on all the myths on how the vatican tried to keep secrets about everything...
I like the idea though...would love to believe in a plot by the vatican...been to the vatican and it would be a lovely place to plot...*loves plotting herself*
There are btw much more stories and films that touch on this subject(the plotting i mean)...one of my favourite...Stigmata...yumm...
Am trying to get my hands on all the films that have a semi-religious theme ( especially when there's a lot of plotting)

Re: da vinci

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops have recently set up a webpage that deals with all these ominous "myth" and "plotting" of the more or less gnostic sort. much has been said about the topic. but whatever your personal beliefs may be, here you can find some really interesting and informative facts that might not be as thrilling as the distorting plots of the novel, but...

oh btw, this seems to be the wrong place for this topic. gonna move it. mantic powers! (hmh... do they actually resemble episcopal powers, i wonder...)
