Ted Baehr Weighs In

Okay, fasten your seat belts. Ted Baehr, Mr. Movieguide, has decoded the Da Vinci brouhaha and has revealed who the true villains are. Here's a snip:

Just a few short years ago, Christian leaders were willing to condemn such blasphemy. Now, some Christian leaders, including those involved in the arts, have decided to join Judas and Neville Chamberlain in calling for people to go see a movie that is just as blasphemous as "The Last Temptation Of Christ." ... Both "The Last Temptation Of Christ" and "The Da Vinci Code" are bad news because they deny the truth that God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, so that no one may perish but all may have eternal life through Jesus. Anyone with any sense and sensibility knows this fact.

Wow. Judas. Neville Chamberlain. Can't get much worse than that.

For the record: In The Last Temptation of Christ, a very divine Jesus, the son of God, rejects the temptation to marry Magdelene; he dies on the cross and fulfills his salvific mission. Apparently, Mr. Baehr didn't see the whole movie. IT WAS A TEMPTATION, not reality. I mean really: the title of the film gives it away.

Also for the record: Characters in The Da Vinci Code do indeed make claims that cast doubts on biblical accounts. But these characters are largely discredited, their alternate claims are shown to be hollow and pointless, and the principal naysayer turns out to be the story's villain. And once again, all of these claims are part of what is almost certainly A DREAM SEQUENCE.

Sense and sensibility, indeed.
