It's really not that big of a deal. If you truly believe that Jesus is the savior then what the fuck is the problem with a reading book against it? I've read the Bible. . I don't agree with most of the crap in it. GREAT. I still read it.
Why is the pope encouraging people not to read "The Da Vinci Code?" From where I'm sitting it sounds like he's not too confident that people's beliefs in Jesus and the church will stay strong. . but HEY. That's just me.

Never said I don't read other religions manuscripts, I find it interesting on how so many events are the same just in different books.
Also, people change so much. I mean, it's like a person believes in abortion, listens to an arguement, then changes their mind and decides abortion is wrong. People convert to religions.
I'm saying, people who devote their entire lives to trying to prove something wrong, and having the most biased opinions I have ever heard and then are trying to say they don't care about being right, they just want people to think when their writings clearly are anti-christ.
I will go see the movie, and it's good to read other religions books, you become wiser and understand more.
All religions and beliefs have some fact in them, you just have to dig deep to find it.
