Its true when I say, "Humans would always believe anything they read as long as it seems true enough" One of the top reads now(or a few weeks ago) is the book "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown. I have not read the book yet, but I have no plans to read it. Most of the things that I've heard about this immensely popular novel were that it dealt with issues concerning religion. My friends who have read the book suddenly began to question the authenticity of the Bible, and they'd sit in groups discussing certain topics mentioned in the book. Worse of all, they feel as if they have been suddenly enlightened and feel good about their new found knowledge. People read the Bible and they believe in God. Now that they've read the "The Da Vinci Code" ("oooooh"), some of them suddenly start questioning their faith, even the Muslims in my company have been rattled by the book. I've been talking to people about the bible and many of its contradictions for some time now, but they've refused to accept it. They just can't see how something that they have been reading most of their lives could be fake. Well, maybe its because I can't gather whatever I know and put it up front in a coherent manner. One problem about humans is that they believe too much in stuff that they have had no contact with. One of my friends actually believed an article in which a halo appeared above an extremely "holy" pastor somewhere in the States. When I asked him why, he said that it was because it appeared in the news and it was taught to him by his Sunday school teachers. But he hasn't seen it happening, he wasn't there, but yet he believed. What great faith! Just like how millions of people believe in a little book called the Holy Bible. Do you see the absurdity of it all now? Why guys? Have you ever asked yourself why? What makes you believe in something so wholeheartedly when all that you've known about it, is through your teachers or stories told by your friends. Why is it that, when you know that some stories in the bible don't make sense, you do not question it but instead, shrug it off as something that God planned that only higher beings would understand. As long as someone somewhere, writes something that sounds logical, people would believe it. Dan Brown's book could just be another bullshit novel that he concocted in his spare time, and now he's sitting at home counting his money. If you really wanna know more about the mistakes in the bible, click on my links, they are much more comprehensive. Then again you may not, which is no surprise. Take a look --->here Great reviews! Like how some people feel after they've read the "Holy Bible". What if tomorrow Dan Brown announces that his story is fake? Well I guess people would be disappointed. Pity.
