Lesson learned from Angels and Demons

This is good movie, but i like better the hype and the interest the DA VINCI code has generated, even the church contributed in hyping it by banning the film to the catholics..hehe Going back to the Angels and Demons film, conspiracy films, secret societies etc. are a fun to watch, makes you think that they are actually existing, I recall a quote from "bones" tv series how mr. bugman says that to think that secret societies don't exist is so naive..

I tend to disagree with you. Yes, there are a lot of people who are selfish and use religion for their purposes. But remember that in the name of religion a lot of good also happens. History is proof that more people have done good deeds in the name of religion than atheists. Similarly, one can argue that more bad deeds have been done in the name of religion than atheists. I personally think that it finally boils down to individuals as if an individual is greedy he would use any tool that he has at his disposal including religion!! Cheers! Ram

I like all of his movies I think that they are great they open alot people eyes about the church and what they do and how they "brain washed" the kids ,I was raise Catholic Church and we were always told about our sins and that was at the age of 7yrs old we were scare that if we did something bad that God wouldn't let us into heaven which I am glad they had the Da Vinci Code come out to let you know I like the movie Angeles and Demons it was Good as well!!!! cd

I will love to read it

science and the church cannot co-exist with each other, science is the way of future while the church is the old goat path, religion is only for traditional people while science is for people that are too curious. That's why there are too many problems that are occurring today because of religion. Ex. middle east, islamic fundamentalist and the islamic extremist, sunni and the shiite, the west and the islamic countries and of course christians vs. muslims. people tend to kill each other because of difference, they differ in religion, thinking and culture. I hope all the people will someday be enlighten and just woke up and tell to their selves hey why do we kill other people in the name of whatever god there is, why should we do this and that i just hope that people will someday realize that the future is not in whatever god they believe but themselves. PS. There's no god only aliens :p

by the way, does anyone have a question in mind, which involving religions function in society nowadays? does angels and demons really exist? or is religions exist just as morality guidelines for human races. refer back to the dark ages, the catholic churches controls most of the government bodies in Europe. anyway, for me it's just the matter of belief and faith.

i watched the film just for the sake of seeing it. because i really love the book. even like it better than da vinci code. i started making ambigram after reading it and found out that Illuminati is real. only not as how it was depicted in this story. as far as i remember (in the book), although the methods are not something we could think of as righteous and just, the main villain's goal is actually to put back everything to faith in God and separate science from religion. it's not really that he fell into deep sh!t because of power trip. he had his own opinion of religion and being religious and he didn't like the way his master or the Pope before him, made efforts to as if reconcile with science that's why he killed him. he wanted every beliefs about creations to remain as is and don't like science interfering with it. just like when the church imprisoned Galileo for theorizing that earth is not the center of the universe, contrary to what the church usually teach before (probably the reason why in this story, said scientist is part of the Illuminati). in other words, he fell into deep sin because of his "own" faith. people always have their own opinions and own way of doing things. for religion, his goal is not as bad as it seems but the end does not always justifies the means (or maybe it never did). i personally think science and religion can always work together if each can accept what each can't explain. even in his latest book, dan brown had something about their integration, which made me think he's not a hardcore atheist. he just merely wanted to present possibilities after all, he's a fiction writer (i still think it was the way people reacted on his first book that the church branded him as an atheist). religion i believe is not the absolute truth, however i look at it. since, it's part of a society's culture, it has so much variations. it differs from one society to another. but as part of a culture, it indeed had done a lot of great things for us. some people stay on the right track just by having their faith. and i do agree with you, that if everything else is made possible by God, i'm sure atheists are included. the secret is to open our minds, whether you're an atheist or pro-God. in every battle between two "whatever/whoever", both sides will always have their strong points and valid arguments. if atheists read dan brown while people with strong faith read paolo coellho, why not read both?

I have not seen the movie and it sounds like it’s worth seeing! It is true that a balanced life is a healthy one physically, emotionally and spiritually. Everyone has a reason for being here, atheists too. It is a matter of personal beliefs. There are many good people that have done much for humanity and they happen to be atheists.

do u mean that atheist have the reason to exist? and the reason is to balance us from doing bad and good?

i saw that movie is very good to strengthen on faith. though one d not need to experience whatever happen in the movies. some are misleading while it end with a moral lesson.

I have never thought of being thankful to the atheist until now. Robert Langdon is an atheist but he was the one to save the church. It's like the parable of the good samaritan in the bible. The samaritan would be the atheist and the man that was robbed would be the church. Of course it doesn't mean that the purpose of the atheist would always be saving the church because they also need to be saved too

I respect your views Mr Knight, but for me, the acting was good, but i dont like people making movies with a catch about religion, especially like this one, not one plot is the film is true, i mean does the Library really exist?

I have not watched the movie and for books that have been transformed into movies like the bourne series too, i always fail to get the messages well enough when compared to the books, which are well structured and illustrated. I read the book and i was glad i did, Angels and Demon was another great book by Dan Brown. The enemies of church have risen against the church and the only reason why this is so is because they percieve they can handle the church better than who is in-charge, their thoughts are that they have a better understanding why the church is created.
