Ridiculous Religious Reactions

Greek Orthodox church slams Da Vinci Code

You know, it makes me sad when people take fiction too seriously: like when the Harry Potter series was accused of promoting satanism, or when The Matrix Trilogy was criticized for being too unrealistic. This time, the Greek Orthodox Church is whining on about the evils of Da Vinci Code, by Dan Brown, just in case you've been living in a cave. Now, I haven't actually read the book myself, but I know two things about it:

1. It's fiction.
2. IT'S FUCKING FICTION

Now, I don't know what kind of retards would be, after seeing the movie, convinced of whatever sensational conspiracy theorys it spews forth, but apparently, the Greek Orthodox Church is worried that people will begin to lose faith in god as a result. As a side note, I'm only mentioning the Greek Orthodox Church because they happen to be the focus of the above article that I found, and there are other religious groups that oppose the movie and the book for similar reasons. And yes, they're equally as asinine.

The damndest thing is this quote in the article: "The Orthodox church, to which 97 percent of Greeks belong, 'does not call on people either to see or not to see the film, or to read or not to read the book ... but it is sure that those who do will see the lies and reject its riduculous content.' "

So what the fuck are they pissing their pants about? If they have so much fucking faith in their god and the members of their church, and they apparently don't believe that the movie will not compromise anybody's faith, why fucking complain? These little shits need to find something better to do than pester the masses with their oppressive ideology. Well, in this case, it's more comical than oppressive. But still.
