[About the movie The Da Vinci Code]
Atheists have absent or missing dads, hence reject the faith of the heavenly Father.
And dont tell me atheists hate this film because it promotes a historic jesus. no mainstream historians doubt a historic jesus, thats an unreasonable position.

The Gnostics were pervs, but Abraham, Lot, those guys? Sweethearts.
Have you read the book? It is, after all, a work of fiction. I suppose your taste in fiction runs more into the "biblical" vein.

And dont tell me atheists hate this film because it promotes a historic jesus. no mainstream historians doubt a historic jesus, thats an unreasonable position. And don't get me started on Disney's Monsters, Inc. ! First, there are no such things as monsters. Second, nice fuzzy things aren't very good monsters. Experts agree. Do they really expect us to fall for this? I wasn't convinced.
"Atheists have absent or missing dads, hence reject the faith of the heavenly Father."
If atheists have absent or missing fathers, shouldn't they be intrinsically drawn to the heavenly father as a replacement for their real dad?
"Atheists have absent or missing dads, hence reject the faith of the heavenly Father." "So what does this film break down to? The terrible taboo hidden shameful secret. Faith and churches, scriptures and art are turned into bearers of an unnatural unacceptable secret, much like the hidden homosexual nature.."
Somehow I just knew he'd work 'homosexual' into his post the second I saw "The terrible taboo hidden shameful secret" .
"The Gnostics were pervs if nothing else, this is the homoerotic sexualizing of jesus."
I'm confused. How is the description previous to this part supposed to be considered "homoerotic sexualizing of jesus" ?
"no mainstream historians doubt a historic jesus, thats an unreasonable position."
Unreasonable only if you have a good portion of your life invested in it being true.
<<< Atheists have absent or missing dads >>>National Treasure , incidentally - all fine and dandy to suggest that there's a hidden treasure, but the Declaration of Independence being part of the key to it? My brain spends too much time wrapping itself around that idea for me to enjoy such a story.

Sigh, why are so many people so wrong? Alright, let's get to it.and gays because he thought God told him to.
3. Atheists do not hate the film because of a historic Jesus. Atheists are rational, and do not cling to poorly-supported beliefs, thus we do not care if movies challange them. Ironically, Christians have been protesting The Da Vinci Code en masse.
No, they don't doubt a historic Jesus but a lot of them are a little fuzzy on his family tree.
I'm a 48 year old atheist. I have always had a great relationship with my father, who isn't an atheist, and who has remained faithfully married to my mother for almost 50 years.
I'm a atheist, and my father is neither missing nor absent. Actually, I have an incredibly rich family life. Although my brother and I are in our thirties, we live close to my parents and see them often.
I hated this film because the writing was crap, the pacing kept switching between inhumanely lightning fast to godawfully slow, the identity of Teacher was incredibly predictable (If you've read any other Brown books), it doesn't even try to be even remotely correct about in its descriptions of historical items (The Madonna on the Rocks thing made me cringe), and Brown, in a desperate effort to make his characters more interesting, added Flavor Crystals to them - that is, he gave them characteristics for no reason whatsoever other than for them to stick out more (Case in point: Silas, the giant albino monk, or Teabing, the knightly British cripple. Neither of these afflictions have any bearing on the story whatsoever).
Hitler? Really? You realized he targeted homosexuals, right? He was also Christian...
PS I'm atheist and my dad certainly not missing. He's making his lunch in the next room...
Confused?
