The Christian establishment worked itself into a lather this past week over the movie “The Da Vinci Code.” Yes, it (and the book on which it is based) is a heretical mess. Sermons have been preached about it and ministries have put out treatises debunking it. All of which is fine - if things are bad, get the alarm bells ringing.

But last night the movie came out with a resounding thud. Here was a typical review:

"The Da Vinci Code is a terrible movie. It’s a movie that’s too stupid to appreciate it’s own stupid origins, and so it takes itself completely seriously.”

Four out of five reviewers thought it was a bad movie. Just thought you should know: the sky isn’t falling. Everybody can go back to watching all the other nonheretical Hollywood movies in the theatres.
