ROTK is a KO
Wednesday, December 17th, 2003Saw it this morning! It was most excellent! A worthy finale to the awesome trilogy.
I’m still grinning from ear to ear.
Humor Me, Elmo
Tuesday, December 16th, 2003If there ever was such a toy, a guaranteed hit among Pinoy shoppers this Christmas would be “Otso-Otso” Elmo.
Thanks to the internet and to my brother-in-law’s TFC, I’m up on the Philippines’ latest dance craze. Yeehaa!
DaVinci Code Deception
Tuesday, December 16th, 2003“What I like about The Da Vinci Code is not so much the story (in fact, the story was just run-of-the-mill), but how it shows that Christianity as we know it today was really only concocted by men in the third and fourth centuries.”
This statement by an acquaintance of mine made me realize just how much this work of fiction is impacting credulous readers eager to discount the historicity of the Christian faith. Brownpau last month posted an excellent set of links pointing to the Christian response to this growing fascination for gnostic writings. Ever-vigilant Paulo posted more relevant links today. I’d like to contribute this link to an audio discussion (check out the Nov. 30, 2003 broadcast) from STR.org.
Update (01.06.05): More liberal thinkers likewise say Brown’s claim to present facts through fiction is itself fictional and misleads readers.
