Da Vinci Code

So my wife and I (actually, just me, i dragged my wife along) went to see the most talked about movie of the year, until next week when another random movie comes out. I wanted to find out what all the frenzy was about. And so i did. What was the frenzy all about, you ask? Well, it seems that the movie has received lots of press because of an attack on historic Christianity, more specifically the deity of Christ. What should the response be of an evangelical Christian? Laughter first of all. Laughter because there is not going to be one credible historian who will back these "facts" regarding Jesus, Mary Magdelene, and secret societies. Secondly, i am concerned. I am concernced because we live in a society that believes anything that is written down on paper and claimed as fact. This movie will move self-absorbed people deeper into their self-absorbed, self-centered worldview. Gnosticism and mysticism will flourish because you are your own guide in those philosophies, no Lord, no one to answer to but yourself.
As far as a movie goes, it was exciting, entertaining, and fiction. Here is a discussion question posed by Al Mohler that i am interested in receiving comments about: Should Jesus even be a subject of fictional stories?
