DaVinci Code ?Fascist?

Check out the latest from my partners blogs,his newest politically relavent gnostic site: Against Archons.
Gnostics and DaVinci Code Fascists

Are there actually any Gnostics in the DaVinci Code at all? Are any of the characters clearly Gnostic? Are any of the groups Gnostic?

The answers may surprise you... There is no real indication that ANY of the characters in the DaVinci Code are actually Gnostic... and the Priory of Sion isn't Gnostic either.

Scandal, Secrecy, Special Knowledge..

Secrecy can give rise to suspicion. People may assume that there is wrongdoing. Excluding outsiders may lead to charges of arrogance, elitism, lack of charity, or bigotry. Reserving certain teachings for only a select few, may lead to charges of censorship or of withholding knowledge from people who are deserving.

It may be counter-argued that some things are best done in private. The term privacy may have better connotations, but abuse can happen in private. The issue is not done away with so easily. Some things are kept private so that it is easier to sidestep challenge or criticism that could be expected were certain words, deeds, evidence, or facts to come to the light of day.

1. Not so much Fascist as historically inaccurate and just plain
stupid.

3. Right, that too. The New Testament is just a Vatican
conspiracy perpetrated by Opus Dei. Jesus's progeny by Mary Magdalene are alive and well somewhere in the south of France.

4. Did you read the link?

It doesn't say that the DaVinci Code is fascist, it mentions that the founder of the modern Priory of Sion was a French Fascist and that the founder of Opus Dei wrote a letter of praise to Spanish Fascist dictator Franco. The irony. Priory of Sion is not Gnostic at all.

5. It's a fucking NOVEL - a NOVEL - who cares?
Who gives a shit if anyone in the NOVEL is a gnostic or a fascist or a donut-raping teatotaler?

IT'S FICTION.

That's like bitchin' that Ishmael wasn't Catholic; or that Huck Finn wasn't a conquistador; or that Mickey Mouse isn't a democratic socialist with proclivity toward parliamentary structure.

Who gives a shit?

6. What about the word "Fiction" do people NOT understand?
I really think this is a riot. The Catholic Church doesn't acknowledge any of it's EVIL past history - hell - they don't even acknowledge it's current wrong doing - (pedophilia) ..

I'm laughing my ass off with all of this hysteria.

Catholic Church and it's Supremacy feeling threatened, Anglo America and it's Supremacy feeling threatened, English feeling threatened.

Good! They all should feel threatened - they are all liars, cheats and thugs. as well as killers and molesters.

I hope that FICTION grabs the church by it's hypocritical jugular and wring it to it's complete destruction.
