The politics of religion and the religion of politics are certainly in the news these days. Not only is America in the midst (or tail end?) of another Evangelical cycle, but around the globe movies like The Passion of the Christ and The Da Vinci Code are sparking much discussion on the topic of Christianity.

Here's a quick movie review of The Da Vinci Code. It's crap. An interesting fictional mystery-novel-cum-movie. I won't spoil if for you, but here is why you should go see the movie: It is like taking a European vacation in the movie theatre. I went to see the movie with a friend I went to Paris with last year. We just kept going, "Oh they are in Paris! We were there! It was so lovely. Oh! They're in London. I love it there! Oh, there's where I threw up on that guy's shoes by Notre Dam!"

The movie did not shake my faith, did not throw me into a crisis, did not make me re-think my beliefs or cause me to start believing in conspiracies. That's why it's called "faith" retards. There is a lot of things to shake one's belief in whatever god they worship. If a movie starring Tom Hanks makes you question the existence of God then you're a dumbass.
