Cool I've read the Da Vinci code but I'm personaly not sure how seriously to take it as it is written as a fiction book and I don't know enough about what it's talking about to make a well informed descision. It was interesting though.
Fai:
Science is something that has to be proven with a lot of facts. Ironcially, sience is one of my favourite subjects, and I'm Catholic which makes things a bit difficult ^^;
There are so many books out there that put their own little twist on the truth of the Roman Catholic Church, and I've read some of them, the DaVInci Code included. But I do have to say it is very interesting. The media is such a huge impact on people's perspectivies of religion now. Mine included -___-"

I'm Catholic as well, and even if I do find scientific facts that might disprove my faith, I continue to go with religion. It's not that I don't believe it, it's more that I teach Catechism and I can't teach it if I don't believe it. I can't make myself to teach something I don't believe. It's going against my faith, and furthermore, it goes against my morals. I'm constantly drawn between both sides, but I will remain with religion. I guess that makes me sound a bit shallow. I only believe because I have to and because I want to.
But if there is anything I can say to back up my beliefs, I've had prophetic dreams that help me predict the future, and there is no scientific proof to explain that, but there are statements in the Bible that prophets had prophetic dreams. I can't back my proof up except that I believe in my faith. There really is no substantial evidence that the Bible is right, but there also isn't any substantial proof that the Bible is wrong. All it comes down to is, "Do you believe or don't you?"
Ashlee:
I agree with you moezy-chan, its "do you believe or not"
mia-chan:
As a rule, I don't believe anything unless there's proof, but then I don't disbelieve anything unless it's proven to be fake. Lets just say I'm open minded.

So prophetic dreams huh? For real? I thought that only happened on the telly! :) That could really help out in life, wouldn't it.
My mum is a Catholic but she didn't raise me as one, saying that it was my right to choose what I wanted to believe, well I may decide one day!
