da Vinci is the man
I just finished reading The Da Vinci Code and I can honestly say that it blew my mind away. It’s a book which is hard to put down and it really makes the readers think, question the establishment, and raise awareness of the struggles in Christianity. I was raised as a Catholic so at an early age, I was made to believe that the Bible is the truth, that Jesus wasn’t entirely human, that the Church couldn’t harm a fly. But I learned to ask questions about the religion a long time ago and there were just a lot of aspects in it that doesn’t make sense. Ever since then, I considered myself pagan and chose to worship the Goddess. The Da Vinci Code made me aware that there are secret societies who worship the Goddess form and are there to pass on and protect the knowledge from generation to generation. I became aware that there are controversies concerning the true holiness of Jesus Christ (him never being married, etc.). I also became more aware of how ugly the Church can really get. But what I find strange is that the book made me admire Jesus. Although I don’t worship him or anything, the book threw him in a different, more human life. The book even said Jesus was a real feminist and that’s really something.
The version I read wasn’t the illustrated one so I’m searching the net for photos of Leonardo Da Vinci’s works. I find him intriguing now after learning about his flambouyant and genius past. If you want more resources on the book, there are a lot on the net.
