Fear is the only thing I can guess.  The Bible was written as fact, the DaVinci Code was written as fiction, yet they buy into the fictional work.  The Bible prophesizes such.

It's actually the preachers who choose to distort the message that take away the responsibility.\nThese are the real hate-mongers of the world

This is bad theology concocted by the enemy to turn the focus away from Christ.  You will not find this in the bible at all.  You are right when you say that it came from crazies.  NEVER let anyone or any doctrine turn your eyes off the true and ONLY Savior...Jesus Christ\n\n1Ti 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils...\n\nHbr 13:9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines.

Becuase Jesus promised that those who would follow him would be treated just as hurrendously as he was. Christians should not be suprised if everyone is against us. It is the nature of rebellious humankind to rage against their Creator God and against his Anointed (Jesus) and his anointed ones (The Body of Christ, the Church)

because as long as there are people on this earth there's always going to be people that mock Jesus ,, and there's always going to be people that try to change the word of god ,,this way there will be a lot of people that get deceived , and want know what the real truth is, the real truth is in the bible the unadulterated word of god, and there's always someone trying to change the meaning of his word , because they don't live by it to start with , and if they can change the word of god or twist it a little to make it sound a Little different , then they can feel a Little better about there self's , i must admit , I'm always finding myself coming up a little short ,of what god expects of me, but that just gives me reason to try harder, but mankind  would do away with the word of god if they could , that way they caould live anyway they want and not feel guilty about what there doing wrongdont you dare reconsider your beliefe in god , thats why you need to be carful what you watch, if something goes against the word of god , i stay away from it, better safe thay sorry, and i live a very happy and fullfilled life, without the guilt,  .

remember what the apostles of the Lord Jesus foretold?  they said to you, in the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.\n\nthere will be hypocrites who divide up the Church.  disorder.. and spiritual death.  'tis here in these days.\n\nthere are people who say "where is this `coming' he promised? ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning.."\n\nwhere is love and compassion?  I have looked all around and see very little love at all.  I mostly see deception and confusion.. and the people who deny it.  when the truth is told people desire to cover their ears.. they close their minds and hearts.. or either their hearts are so veiled.. they can't see and understand.\n\nsome occurrences happen to harden people even more.. little do they know about what is happening.  why?  they walk in the darkness.. stumbling along.. because they cannot see behind the scenes.  there is a great scheme.  only a few people see and recognize what is happening in this world around us.\n\nlittle things as the Da vinci code appear harmless to so many.. yet it is a tiny piece of corruption to aid much bigger corruption in the future.  \n\na little yeast works through the whole batch of dough.

Whoa there. It's not like just anybody can stand up in front of a congregation and twist Scripture! That takes a special kind of talent, when you have to convince people NOT to look it up for themselves. \n\nAsk the F.B.I. Everybody thinks they're so smart, but why are so many people falling for scams and fraud every day? It isn't just when you add "God" or "Jesus," it's when you can say it in a way that persuades and reassures people that you know better than they do.

to try and discredit Jesus as nothing more that another man. They like to tempt Christians into fights, it's a bizarre form of fun for them.

I know I won't get the best answer, but I thought I should answer your question anyway.\n\nFirst thing you have to understand is not everybody believes in Jesus (I do).  Some of those people want to deny him in any way they can. (Since Jesus was proven to have excisted, they now have to do things like the Da Vici Code)\n\nSecond thing you have to understand is that morality and God was thrown out of the movie buissness a long time ago.  It's all about the money.\n\nEven the movies the churches agree with were not made to please anybody.  They were made to make money.  (Example  "10 Commandments" made a lot of money).\n\nI mean look at movies, music, ect. today.  You will see rape, murder, theft, ect.\n\nThe truth is people complain just to complain (sorry if this offends you).  If you don't want to see a movie like the Da Vinci Code then don't; but don't complain because some people do.  To me this is the same as bashing somebody elses religion.  \n\nAs for calling the wrath of God we have already been calling it for a while and believe me it will come soon.  Even though something somebody else does may not seem right to you all you can do is say, hey I don't believe thats ain't right; then leave it alone.  If you continue then you are judging them: Only one person can judge.  The church has used up there complaining of movies rights a long time ago.  Nothing they say or do will change them so let them do what they do; they will suffer for it in the end.\n\nI'm sorry I just get upset when people don't see the whole picture or bash somebody beliefs.  No, to me the movie is not bashing beliefs; it's just a movie.  Example I could tell you my beliefs that would not bash yours, but if I say mine are right and yours are wrong then I would be bashing your beliefs.  Same thing with this movie.  They are stating a belief out there, not saying hey everyone else is wrong; just stating a belief.

There are many religious people who simply believe what they're told to believe, they don't analyze it or question it, and if someone tells them that someone who doesn't believe in God is an enemy of God, they know from prior knowledge that the only enemy of God is Satan and so people who are the enemy of God must be worshippers of Satan.\n\nNot to say, at all, that any of this is true or believable, but that's the cultish Christian mind-state.

Because we have a conscience.  Unfortunately the Christians just don't understand it.  It is that sick feeling you get in your stomach when you are buying a bunch of stuff that you have no evidence for.  And, when anyone comes around and tries to talk to them about it, that sick feeling gets bigger and instead of re-evaluating their position they blame the sick feeling on your Satanic influence.

Chrisitianity teaches us to love our enemies so that we can be examples of Christ. We as christians do not force our believes on other people. Some groups in the past tried to corrupt our image, for example the crusaders and catholic sects which cast shadows of violence and terrorism by forcefully "converting" non-belivers, jews to the religion. These people took the bible out of context and did not follow true christian principles. Jesus is Love, Peace, Joy and our Redeemer.\nBe Prepared.

Pretty creative.  I never thought of Jesus as a zombie.  You make a very good point.  The sad thing is that it appears that some people do seem to lose some of their brains and call themselves followers of the zombie, Jesus.  On the other hand, most of his followers describe an enhanced thinking capacity, a greater ability to reason and a much deeper appreciation for beauty and life.  Sorry that you've seen so much of the former.  But, your analogy is truly humorous. LOL.  Thanks.

I am a Christain too. \n\nI think it's annoying when people, Christians and others, act fake. There are lots of people who claim to be Christains and try to act like they are perfect and without fault, while in reality, the love of God is not in them. That is what turns off alot of people. People can tell when a person is fake. \n\nOn the other hand a real Christain knows the Lord and is filled with His love. This is a humbling experience and it also causes the person to love, not judge others.\n\nSo to answer the question, it's all about sincerity. Don't worry about how you look on the outside or what people think. Seek God wholeheartedly. If you do, you will know Him. People will see His love inside of you and it will draw them to Him. \n\nOn the other hand, if you just seek to impress others or appear "holier than thou", you will only turn people away from you and Jesus.

I understand where you are coming from.  Christians get that stereotype because of others claiming to be a christian.  Thats not what the bible says Christians are suppose to act like but thats what everyone wants to see and judge.  But as long as i know where i stand with God it doesnt matter what anyone else says.  God Bless!!

The same reason Satan does what he does.  Because they are evil and it amuses them.
