WWJD? He'd Say It's Just a Movie, People!

Jesus H. Christ, people; get over it already.

The Davinci Code was not that great a book. It's controversial only because people like to keep their heads buried in the sand, and don't step outside their little boxes to read about all the different alternative views out there about their own religion. There is very little that Dan Brown presented in his book that hasn't been said before.

What he did, however, was turn it all into a decent work of fiction.

Wait, let me say that again: fiction.

FICTION!!!!

Holy mother of god, folks; are you that threatened by what a movie might say about The Lord They God, that you have to raise an uproar and threaten to boycott/protest the movie over it? You don't like it? Don't go see it. End of story.

Instead what you're doing is adding to the hype of a movie that, by all accounts, is not all that interesting. You've become the reason more people will go see this, because they want to see what all the fuss is about. People who haven't read the book now want to see this movie, and do you know whose fault it is?

Yours.

Calm down, play with your rosary beads and take a chill pill. Sheesh.

It's not like this is a Muslim cartoon, you know.
