DA VINCI CODE FICTION: Quote
from the Da Vinci Code FACT page: "FACT: The Priory of Sion---a European
secret society founded in 1099---is a real organization. In 1975, Paris's Bibliotheque Nationale discovered parchments know as Les Dossiers Secrets,
identifying numerous members of the Priory of Sion, including Sir Issac
Newton, Bottecelli, Victor Hugo, Leonardo da Vinci, and Donald Duck".
(Okay, we added the last one. At least we admit it when we make
something up).
The
Priory Of Sion, one of the oldest
surviving secret societies on earth, kept a "stash of hidden documents"
that not only told of Jesus' marriage to Mary Magdalene, but also traced their "royal bloodline"
to this day which was documented by many "reputable historians".
FACT: I guess incredibly old secret societies
only last around 50 years nowadays. Did you know that the basis for the
entire premise of "The
Davinci Code", The Priory Of Sion which supposedly “kept the
secret” of Jesus marrying Mary Magdalene and not being divine, was
actually CONCOCTED, FABRICATED AND FORGED by a 20th century French ex-convict
(and con man) named Pierre Plantard? He FORGED the “factual” secret documents "Les Dossier Secrets"
and actually planted them in the National Library Of Paris (aka Bibliotheque Nationale) in 1967.
Plantard
also FOUNDED the organization the Priory Of Sion in France in 1956,
originally devoted to the cause of "Low Cost Housing". It was NOT founded
by the king of France in Jerusalem in 1099 as the Da Vinci Code tells us
(surprise!). Brown got that absurd claim from Plantard's "creative"
writings.
As for tracing the "royal bloodline",
Plantard was actually good enough to forge in himself as one of Jesus’
descendants, and therefore an heir to the French monarchy (surprise
again!). So according to the documents he forged, Pierre was not only
French royalty, but probably part
Divine too (yikes! maybe we shouldn't make fun of him). No word yet on Plantard's resurrection after he died in 2000. Oh, did
we mention he was
jailed for fraud and embezzlement in 1953? He was also involved in the
occult and was an virulent anti-Semite. His groups' periodical, "Vaincre" (Conquer)
was darling little neo-Nazi publication loaded with anti-Jewish and
pro-Nazi remarks. Hey I wonder if Plantard ever forged any Holocaust
denial stuff? Dan Brown can probably use that "evidence" for "Da
Vinci Code II: The Holocaust Was A Fraud Too, and I Can Prove It."
An excerpt: "Hey, the Mona Lisa isn't really a painting of Mona Lisa...It's
Hitler! Everybody's buddy!"
DA VINCI CODE FICTION: Brown
actually claims Jesus' "royal bloodline" (through Mary Magdalene) was
documented by many reputable historians.
FACT: This is absolutely
correct if by reputable historians you mean 20th century conspiracy
theorists and UFO abductees. Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh and Henry
Lincoln wrote a fun little tome called "Holy
Blood, Holy Grail" (and then sued
Dan Brown in the UK for plagiarizing
THEIR fictional idea). Is is reputed that Baigent et. all. just
ADORE UFOs. These are Dan Brown's "reputable historians". Folks, we need
to do some housecleaning in America's Universities! What do we need these
highly educated, University historian-type guys for, when we've got these
brilliant Grail geniuses to
educate us all about REAL history? We never learned about UFO
abductions in our history classes. Another conspiracy!
Watch for their new book (and
hopefully movie) "Holy Blood, Holy Grail II: Captain Kirk Is the
True Messiah". (I hear the movie screenplay will be adapted by
James Frey).
And I want to sincerely apologize to all of the UFO abductees out there
for lumping Dan Brown in there with you. You folks have WAY more credibility than
he does.
DA VINCI CODE FICTION: As for
anything at all to do with the artwork of Leonardo Da Vinci, like "Mary
Magdalene" supposedly to Jesus' right in "The Last Supper"...
FACT: It is actually St. John,
Jesus' closest apostle and author of the Book Of Revelation. Note there
are ELEVEN other apostles in the picture. What...did Leo just feel like
leaving one of Jesus' favorites out? I guess John was out getting a pizza
during the LAST supper. How are we supposed to definitively determine
anything from a centuries old, flaking painting on a plaster wall?
Even if Brown's interpretation were true (which it obviously isn't) it
make absolutely no difference. It's like Thomas Kinkade painting the Last
Supper and substituting Al Sharpton or J.J from "Good Times" for St. Peter. Who cares?
Other Points To Ponder:
"The earlier gospels were outlawed,
gathered up and burned. The Dead Sea Scrolls and manuscripts from Nag
Hammadi, Egypt, were "the earliest Christian records," not the four
Gospels." -The Da Vinci Code
The Dead Sea Scrolls said
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about Jesus, the Gospels, Christianity and/or the New Testament
because
they were written CENTURIES BEFORE JESUS WAS EVEN BORN. The Qumran
community, which wrote or preserved these scrolls, had absolutely,
positively nothing to do with Jesus or Christianity. So if the Church was
trying to "outlaw, gather up and burn" them, as I guess they didn't want anybody to read about
the Old Testament since the Dead Sea Scrolls didn't even contain the
New.
(Major, major blunder, Danny. You can't get anyone to believe your
atheist fantasies unless you get your facts straight. Didn't they teach
you that in public school?).
The pyramid of the Louvre in Paris
is "constructed of exactly 666 panes of glass" according to Brown.
But the
Louve's official website says "673 panes of glass" (DANG it!
There's one of those pesky facts again! Wait! Wait! It's a Louvre
cover-up! I have the documents to prove it! I got them from a French guy!)
Brown claims "almost everything our
fathers taught us about Christ is false." - This
is EXACTLY the type of statement we would expect from an atheist and
accused plagiarist, but it is ironic since it is Dan Brown who can't seem to get
even the most basic and obvious historical facts in his own bestselling book correct.
There is a deliberate agenda here. To confuse to uninformed, to cater to
atheists and to take advantage of an unfortunate ignorance about the most
important topic in history. This is how the above quote should actually
read: "Almost everything Dan Brown taught you (actually, made up) about
Christ is a big, fat bald faced lie."
...We could go on and on about this
(there are lots of books and resources that do),
but you get the picture.
Dan Brown has as much credibility as
Scott Peterson saying "I didn't do it!!!" as he's crossing the Mexican
border with bleached blonde hair, a fake I.D. and $10 grand cash in a
knapsack. Or perhaps as much credibility as Hillary Clinton at a Right To Life rally
(or being a Yankees fan). Do a little more research next time Danny-Boy,
and try not to plagiarize your fellow atheist conspiracy theorists. Come
up with your own fantasy...like Pierre Plantard did.
Perhaps something "good" will come out of
all of this. Maybe Dan Brown will become the next L. Ron Hubbard. Why
should L. Ron have all the fun of starting cults from science fiction?
Move over "Dianetics", here comes the
