Church, work and stuff

[owl]

We're having a meeting at church tomorrow night on the Da Vinci Code. It's a sort of evangelistic judo, to use it for starting discussions on 'how reliable are the NT documents' or 'who was Jesus, really'. I managed to miss the bit where we trek around the town (we have the Hilliest Town in the County Down) shoving invitations through doors because I was at work (it has to be good for something).

If I were taking the meeting, it would run thusly: 'Frankly, I've seen better research in the pages of the Sun, and if Dan Brown told me the earth was round, I'd want to verify it before I believed it. Oh, and the characters are cardboard, the plot has holes big enough for dolphins to escape through, and the style stinks. Any questions?'

It's a good thing I'm not, then :)


Sometimes I love my work. Today I discovered that one of the other area teams had labelled their Deductions, D[eceased] file, "The Book of the Dead".

I've spent the last week or so watching all the Discovery Channel shows debunking the book! Much fun, that. But I'll still go see the movie, and then read the book.

What's more interesting to me are people's reactions to the idea of Jesus being a family man, than whether or not he really was. The religious furor on both sides is whacked.

I think that whether or not he was married is irrelevant to the issue of whether or not he was God. I do think that his hypothetical kids would have been mention in the context of the early church, though.

Ditto.
