text: do you think that the book "da vinci code" will change point of view about christianity?   nope.  it will stir up "controversy" for awhile and then die down, as others have before it.  "the last temptation of christ" had outraged people picketing theatres because it suggested that on the cross, christ might have considered other paths he could have taken -- marriage, family, quiet life, etc.  "jesus christ superstar" stireed up many of the same questions that the "da vinci code" does -- people didn't care for the portrayal of mary magdalene in that movie either, since they felt it suggested a more intimate relationship than is suggested in the bible.  personally -- i saw "jesus christ superstar" and did not find it as controversial as those screaming against it.  i think people tend to read things into movies and books.  in the case of "da vinci code", people are all excited about whether jesus might have been married and had children (which, of course, means he would have had sex).  i fail to see why this is so shocking.  marriage is a sacrament.  why should jesus not partake of it?  how can a sacrament make someone less pure, less good than they are?    the importance of jesus is his message -- it seems to me that many people are missing the important message and focussing on the trivial details that don't matter.  maybe he was married, maybe he wasn't -- i don't think it matters at all.  he came, he taught us to love one another -- surely that is more important than whether he loved mary magdalene enough to marry her and raise a family with her?  (i won't even entertain the thought that one so holy might have had any relationship outside of marriage)
