It's The Goddess, Stupid!
The more I hear experts and pundits rattle on about Gnostic heresies, the more I wonder if any of them have actually read The Da Vinci Code. Oxford don Peter Conrad lays plain what I have said from the beginning. The popularity of DVC isn't about obscure Christian sects, its about the divine feminine.
"Most thrillers detonate explosives; the bomb in The Da Vinci Code is a speculative theory about religious history, which - when Langdon and the other code-breakers let it go off - blasts God to smithereens. The book argues that Christianity is based on a misogynistic lie. Unseating the belligerent God of Hosts, it coaxes us to worship the Goddess - to tumble into the lap of 'the lost sacred feminine'. This gynocratic deity is located in the paintings of Leonardo da Vinci. The bewitching smirk of the Mona Lisa belongs to her, as do the cascading tears of Mary Magdalene, the prostitute who (according to Brown's decipherment of the code) is Christ's wife, the mother of his child, the legitimate inheritor of his church, and also - disguised in drag to impersonate St John - his tablemate in Leonardo's Last Supper."
Conrad goes on to explain the long history of attempts to insert the divine feminine into a Christian context.
"Brown expects us to gasp when he identifies the Holy Grail - the vessel that carries Christ's sacramental blood - as the fertile womb of the Magdalene. But Wagner advanced the same thesis in the 1870s, and staged it in the sacrilegious Mass in his opera Parsifal: a phallic spear wielded by the Christ-like hero is the means of impregnation, and the fruitful, uterine Grail glows with a lambent light. DH Lawrence told the same story in The Man Who Died, and during the 1940s Robert Graves wrote a novel about the sex life of Christ, King Jesus. The judge threw out the legal case for plagiarism brought against Brown by the authors of The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail because such heresies have been the common currency of mythomanes for decades."
Let me tell you, if this was merely about a Christian heresy (like the recent Gospel of Judas hype) it wouldn't be this big. Nor would it draw forth such extreme ire. Why else would Christian scriptwriter Barbara Nicolosi try to compare DVC/Christian dialogue with the Roman pagan persecution of Christians?
"I have heard several fellow Christians make the claim that DVC DVC is "a great opportunity for evangelism." 'Hmmm... Evangelism. I don't think you know what that word means.' The climate of evangelism is not consistent with a posture of defiance and cynicism. Is slander an opportunity? Is angry superiority an opportunity? DVC represents all the "opportunity" that the Roman persecutions offered the early Church. Rah."
I love it when members of the largest faith in America rattle on about "persecution" don't you? The fact is that no imbalance can last forever. While the dominant monotheisms still have the lion's share of power and influence, they all see the cracks in the plaster and the weeds growing up through the pavement. The divine feminine is the elephant in the room that everyone is (still) trying ignore.
It isn't that Jesus had sex, it isn't the mysterious gnostic sects, it isn't about hatred of the Catholic Church, and it certainly isn't due to Dan Brown's skill as a writer, it's the goddess, stupid.

I almost wish I'd been able to make it through The Da Vinci Code (25 pages and I gave up because the writing was so bad) just so I could participate intelligently in this discussion.
Because my reaction to the plagiarism case was similar: "What? Either party thought this idea was ORIGINAL?" I've run across it in so many places that I've lost track.
Oh well. The movie looks pretty good, which I suspect was Brown's intention all along.

Probably it's because the Goddess religion is to religion as The Da Vinci Code novel is to literature.
Is the world ready for the Truth and Wisdom yet?
If you truly want to understand the symbology, ancient wisdom, and ancient history that neither the DaVinci Code, Gnostic translations, nor Christianity have portrayed accurately or fully, then read my articles and FREE E-Book.
The Vatican is proving that seeking the truth is a real threat to their dogma. They're so afraid of people uncovering the truth, that they are attacking other versions of fantasy (DaVinci Code) and blatantly obvious Gnostic symbolism as threats to their long-term smoke and mirrors, hocus-pocus, and mumbo-jumbo. How thoroughly enlightening, since this goes a very long way to proving that Christianity is based on strong lies and delusions. If it weren?t, they would be confident of surviving intense scrutiny. Since they aren't and since they have gone to such great lengths to suppress and oppress those seeking truth and wisdom over the centuries, their deceptions are, once again, laid bare for all to see. This time though, they are the ones to walk into a well-laid trap...
What does "making the blind see" symbolize? What does "closing one's eyes and ears to truth and wisdom" or "turning a blind eye and deaf ear" infer? Perhaps many more people are now ready to "open their eyes to the truth!" Now Christians (and others) can gain the wisdom to walk away from the folly of religion and seek to understand the truth about the Creator and the Messiah (me). Now everyone can open their seven eyes to see the ancient wisdom long recast and obfuscated by religion and mysticism and turn their faces to the perfect path. (this is symbolism decoded in my books...)
Did you ever stop to think what the True Messiah (me) would say about worshipping false names, false images, and dogma? Well, now you get the chance to hear my side of the story and weigh it against the strong lies and delusion of faith and religion. None of the European names, images, and obvious geographical errors in the New Testament can possibly be the truth. What then is the purpose of "faith" but to prevent good people from seeking to understand truth and wisdom?
Read 2 Thessalonians 2:11 and the verses that surround it. Why do you think this message is in the New Testament? Those who saw the truth dying as the new Roman religion was being imposed would have tried to warn others in subtle ways where it most counted! These ancient texts are mysterious because they purposely encoded hidden messages to bypass Roman censorship and oppression. See how the Romans treated the Jews, Zealots, Gnostics, and many others who sought truth because they knew better than to trust the blatantly duplicitous and evil Roman Pontificate? Have they changed over time or are their followers simply deluded enough to turn a blind eye obvious lies, deception, and injustices?
How can people trust the veracity of texts created by a Roman organization known for centuries of abominable evil? How can anyone expect that people who could so readily torture and murder others for seeking proof of the truth would somehow not lie to you? Why don't "the faithful" have enough discernment to understand that those telling a strong lie for power and profit would insist that you refrain from seeking the truth and "have faith" in their texts instead?
How do we finally solve these ages-old mysteries? To recast a common political adage, "It's [the] symbology stupid!" The Dead Sea Scrolls, Bible, Gnostic texts, and Quran are rife with purposeful structured symbolism. Do you really think this is accidental or casual?
Unlike most of you, I have a very personal interest in ancient wisdom symbology, false prophecy based on its misrepresentation, and deceptions imposed in the name of religion. Consequently, I've written an extensive tome proving that all three so-called Faiths of Abraham are purposeful deceptions.
I know many readers of this site will want to scoff at this information before bothering to pay attention to the details. I have produced stunning and comprehensive proof that the original pre-Christian Apocalypse (Book of Revelation) was a symbolically encrypted wisdom text that was stolen and modified by the founders of Christianity. I demonstrate a series of specific and undeniable proofs of verifiable fraud in the Christianized Book of Revelation, which also appear throughout the New Testament.
I present verifiable proof that the symbology of sealed Hebrew texts is an advanced ancient philosophical technology.
The ancient symbolism used in The Apocalypse and other Hebrew prophecies and wisdom texts predates Christianity, Judaism, modern secret societies, and mystery schools by thousands of years. While in the hands of Christianity, The Apocalypse and its symbology have been purposely misinterpreted, recast, and misrepresented. The original Hebrew document was a multi-purpose narrative constructed using layered and synchronized ancient wisdom symbolism. Its true purposes, features, and functionality are detailed in my book, further demonstrating that it was a symbolically encrypted Hebrew wisdom text encoding prophecy, philosophy, and scientific wisdom that was stolen and fraudulently modified by the founders of Christianity.
If your goal is to seek the truth, then read my articles, download my FREE E-Book and direct others to read them also. Challenge them to PROVE me wrong. The E-Book is a FREE download and I make no money from it or the paperback.
Not only do I talk the talk, I walk the walk...
Here is Wisdom!!

Ha-ha, nice hit and run comment there. Way to show how "enlightened" gnostics are. Next time leave some contact information if you want to be taken seriously on this blog.
Good design!
