dan brown's such a charmer, in this, well... brave new world we live in.
finished reading brown's angels and demons.
hollers aside, it rekindled the fascination i had with the da vinci code, (not with how explicitly he wrote about christiany in the reins of controvesy, wroughting the firmest believer with that penetrating tinge of a doubt, mind u), but simply his skill to weave a tale, however tall it is. wonderful read, like the da vinci code.
could almost imagine the painstaking efforts put in the book. hours and hours in the
brown study.
heh.
some stuff i've gotta get down before i forget.
at this point i must state, purport even, that my faith is definitely not stirred by the delightful read. I firmly believe in the sanctity of God and how my faith has carried me thought in times of trouble.
it is but fiction my dear friends. or if we cant find the blurring line,
we need to take a step back and consider what ready matters.
Personally, i feel that Christians, armed with sturdy faith, would do well not to have their feelings stirred by a piece of fiction. It is akin to being aggravated by an incredulous, or purposterous proposition. it's a mere tale, a tall one that falls short. A well written world of fiction, that is but mere entertainment.
My faith is christianity is not shaken, simply because it is so much a reality for me.
i'll do well.
on another note,
All the halabaloo about cloning and how it's just not right to play god and stuff; i will not open a can of worms by stating my stand on this.
i feel that for many it, not the sanctity of human or conscience (god forbid) that mandates their stand, especially for naysayers. They're not in deliberation because we might be doing the world thing, or abusing technology... but are cringing, to think that the man is developing technology akin to be powers of god.
the powers of god, in man, in the hands of the most volatile of all creatures.
we are afraid. very afraid.
faith, my friend.
on a lighter note, i went for the nj dance concert today.
now that's a quality production, nice histronics.
wow-ed.
