I just needed to post this

The video will tell "the truth about Jesus", according to church officials, who are concerned that the film will "mislead people about the truth". - Church acts against Da Vinci film
This is hilarious. How is it that they feel such a strong need to "tell the truth" when they are going up against something that labels itself as not being truth? It is a work of fiction and doesn't pretend to be anything more than that. Can I even begin to describe how movies pervert so many other things. It is fairly common. Just seems like a waste and just gives the movie more publicity. I could see if it was trying to intentionally stir up something or say something like "based on real evidence". But it doesn't and it is so outrageously fiction in many cases that anyone threatened by it seems foolish to me. I already talked about how the "holy grail" doesn't exist and that is a huge part of the story. Surely there are many movies that mislead about many topics. But I've never heard of anyone being misled by this piece of work. Mainly because any knowledgeable Christian wouldn't be swayed by a single fictional movie and nobody else gives a flying fuck about the story. Most are probably just hoping Audrey Tautou takes her top off. Ha.
While I am on the topic of fiction I will address secret soceities. It is a part of the previously mentioned movie. In my short time on this earth I have come to the conclusion that the only people organized and smart enough to create secrete societies are the conspriracy theorists that come up with them. That is not to say there are not losely tied groups of people who act towards a sometimes common goal. But secret societies are the most ridiculous thing I can imagine. You don't have to meet that many people in your life to realize that most humans are dumb-asses. There is no way more than like 3 people could be involved in a secret society without it completely imploding. I don't think there exists yet a group of humans that can hold together a well-managed organization without fucking something up huge eventually. We still can't figure out exactly how the pyramids were built and those ancient humans weren't even trying to hide anything about it.
Speaking of pyramids, recently a massive one was discovered in Bosnia. It might be bigger than the great pyramid in Giza. I'd love to be an archeologist working on that right now to see what is inside. What could a huge pyramid like that hold? In Bosnia of all places?
