simon, your point is well taken but defending freedom of speech is meant to protect the right of you to say what you wish, not to protect you from being offended OR SPEAKING YOUR MIND ABOUT THAT WHICH OFFENDS YOU. This being America, I can choose to watch bad movies and praise them or deride them, publically if I so choose. I do NOT have the right to suppress bad movies, only the right not to go see them (or, thankfully, be forced to go see them)

What happened to all this freedom of expression and the defence of the right to offend. That Danmark is fighting for.

The easy to defend something that doesn’t effect you. To truly believe in a concept is to defend it when it effects you.

As voltaire said.
I do not agree with what you have to say, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it.

Support Danmark Support the Da Vinci Code.

Thanks for the post!

I am relieved to see the movie was not done too well. While this movie is clearly a device of the enemy to try and undermine what is right and good, it is like most things the enemy does. Cheesy and poorly executed.

If you swing by my blog I outlined a few notions as to why the Da Vinci code might actually be good for Christians. Feel free to add other points or tell me if you disagree : )

God bless,
