I think Code will shape this day

So finally it's friday I guess. I hope my PC clock isn't playing a trick on me. Today I'll work probably until 2:00 PM or so. I thought I would work a lot longer, because there was so much to do and to be finished today, but I was winning this fight against this huge heap of work.

I didn't expected it to be this way. I think I was very motivated today. The code just came straight out of my mind, through my fingers and into this application and works without any troubles. That's a good feeling to feel so talented and I haven't felt like this for a long time.
I hate it to be proud of myself. It makes me feel arogant in some kind of way. Maybe I am.

However, this day seems to get better and better. Just a few hours separating me from my sweety and just a few more hours from going with her and some friends to the cinema. - The daVinci Code - I read the book and it totally satisfied me. Even if the katholic church and others complain about about it.
I know much about the church and religions and read a lot in the bible, went to an katholic school, read the apokryph writings and grew up in a katholic family with a grandfather that was the chairman of the church local council. Nevertheless I am no believer, but I used it as a hobby to inform myself about religion, the church and all the historical background.

For someone like me that don't believes everything he hears or sees, there is so much more information arround as we should see. I probably got a very different view to this whole topic - a more scientific one - and I think this is the reason why I liked this book so much.
Ok, maybe some facts are complete fantasy, but there are also a lot of things in this book which are based on rumors and facts, no matter if the church says that these are no facts, which are really interessting.
The story of course is pure fantasy, but isn't that the reason why I read a book? To be entertained by a greate story? A fantastic story? No matter what it is about, as long as I like it?

So why do some people say that such films should be banned? It's entertainment folks! Not more! Just because it is about religion and is not the way like the church would like it to have, there is still no reason to bann this.
Everybody has the right to think and publicate what ever he wants as long as it isn't against any law. So if a lot of people like this and no one breaks a law with this, no one should complain about it. If you don't like, don't watch it.
I will watch it and the only thing I worry about is: Will the filme be as good as the book was?
