Kim Robinson - outside reading # 2

As I said before I read a lot over spring break and just happened to be on a Dan Brown spree. After reading Angels and Demon, I read The Davinci Code. I had seen the movie already like most people have, but I had never read the book. People try to say that both books are far out there and nothing like the events could ever happen, I think that they aren’t that far off. The premise of The Davinci Code is that the church has been hiding the secret that there was/ still is a descendent of Jesus Christ. To me, at least, I don’t understand why this belief is so unreasonable. Although Jesus was sent to this earth in order to show man how to live and to sacrifice himself for us, he was still a man. He still had the same desires as all men. I guess one reason that I’ve been reading books like this and getting out of them the question of the church’s power is because of my paper for this class. My paper focuses on how the church does not have to be the only place that one receives faith. If someone receives their own faith by believing that Jesus Christ’s descendent walks among us today then why question it. It’s interesting just to read how this could all play out if an event like this did occur. It just makes you think about all the possibilities that life holds and what questions are still out there for us to judge.
