Well, another tiring day at school. Nothing huge, I just turned in a project for my science class. We had to find many different species of birds and catalog them. Not so hard, right?
An update on the Da Vinci Code thing-
I found an alternative to the actual flyers. The church has a website, and on the website is a page with mp3 sermons. The topic of a particular series is "the Da Vinci Con", basically the church's response to the Da Vinci code.
Just listen to the first five minutes or so
See, the thing is, it's not religion that I have a problem with, but instead(I said this before) when religion becomes a contest. You can have your faith, and I'll have mine, and the neighbors can have theirs. So what if they worship Satan? As long as they aren't hurting others, then it should be alright. Alot of the time, people make the assumtion that their faith's rules should apply to other people or other people's faith, and then things get ugly.
So far, in the first 5 minutes, they've called Dan Brown a "con man". Has the church resorted to slander to protect it's following? Once again, I hadn't realized that faith is so fragile. Maybe it is nowadays...but even then, there shouldn't be any reason for any religion to have to defend itself against A WORK OF FICTION!
I would like to say however, that some of my friends are chrisitians(since christianity is the faith that seems to be having a problem with the Da Vinci Code), and NONE of them have anything against the book. That could be because I surround myself with rational people, but it is a compelling example of people being able to "go with the flow".
