I got this from someone at my very large company, because we sponsored a free showing of the DaVinci Code

But the Jedi and the Force are real, right?
Well, the sad thing is that there are plenty of morons out there who will think it's real.

Yep. Darrell and his brother Darrell and their other brother Darrell are REALLY starting to get on my nerves here at work....

And no, George Lucas would be more like Moses-Allah-Buddha-Jesus. Carrying tablets, spewing forth lasers of death, being calming, then levitating ....

What would that make George Lucas? An apostle of The Force?

What?

Stupid people believing that The DaVinci Code is not fiction = George Lucas is an apostle of the force? :confused:

How did that person's boss not blow a fuse?

The kind of harrassment suit possible makes any intelligent boss demand that company email not be used by such things.

If I was there, I'd tell my boss that if that's ok, then I'm going to broadcast homestarrunner cartoons to everyone.

4 managers sent out emails, complaining about sending this to every Bay Area employee.

I found the email amusing, except when it looked like I was going to be spammed by my co-workers. And trust me, my company looks very poorly on spammers.

In a society where hordes of people worshipped the "blessed virgin Mary" on a pancake and Jesus on toast, I think we'd better warn people that the X-Men aren't real people.

Sanjuro and co. remind your Christian friends who are reminding you that the DVC is fiction that the same holds true for the Left Behind movie and books and that it twists Scripture and has just as much of a political agenda as the DVC does............

Another note to those of you struggling with Christian co-workers who are having a fit about this movie.

One of the things the movie inaccurately shows is how the Gnostics taught that Jesus was totally human and not divine. Gnosticism in reality taught that Jesus was totally spirit and not human.......being human is "bad", the material/physical world is bad and evil and the spiritual world is good.

So, I've heard Christians rant on how they would never see that Gnoscitc movie...........we'll it's not really Gnostic. On the other hand, the "Christian" Left Behind movies/books do embrace the Gnostic idea that the world is bad and Christians should go to a "good" place (Heaven) to escape this evil material/physical world. Again the irony is so thick you can cut it with a knife.

Just some ammo for those of you struggling with outspoken Christians.
