Listen to me rant, I think you might find this interesting.

So check this out. Yesterday in convo, I learned for the first time about the Da Vinci Code and how seriously theologically screwed up it really is. All of this stuff about Jesus and Mary Magdalene, their children and the kings and queens of France is actually quite humorous. I personally think that it is still a good storyline and yes, I am still going to read the book and see the movie...........what a sinner. It opened my eyes to one very interesting fact however about the human race.

We cannot, under any circumstance, understand perfection-- that's a duh huh. We can't even understand something that is remotely good. If something seems too good to be true, we take it upon ourselves to personally screw it up. We've been doing it since we were three! Remember spending a good ten minutes setting up a stack of building blocks only to get some joy out of taking two seconds to knock them all down? This book is a classic example of taking something that is perfect and then destroying it with our own ideas and objectives.

The human race cannot fathom the fact that Jesus Christ had no other motive upon coming to this earth except to give his entire life to show us that He loves us, and then prove it to us by dying for us and then raising again three days later. We can't understand the fact that He genuinely desires to see us saved and be free from the torture of sin and destruction - so instead we have to twist this precious story of grace and mercy and add that this "perfect" Christ was not so perfect after all and He had a sexual affair with Mary Magdalene and through that relationship, conceived children who now rule one of the "softest" countries in the entire world! (Seriously, I think God could have done a better job in His country selection here, don't you?)

Girls are another example. I have actually heard of three stories in the last month alone about girls who have looked guys in the face, told them that they are "everything that they have ever wanted" and then say, "I just can't date you because you are too nice." WHAT! That is the dumbest thing that I have ever heard, seriously. Isn't that what you want? Apparently not. Once again, we as humans "need" something to be wrong for it to be right. Apparently these girls need some tool that will treat them like trash, cuss them out in front of their friends and get wasted on the weekends..........because that would be the ideal situation.

Seriously though. God loves us as humans. He is the epitomy of perfection because only He can be that and only the perfect love and grace of God gives us.........me..........any reason to get up in the morning. Why can't we just realize that? Good is good......especially the story of redemption. That is good.........that is perfect........it should never be tweaked in any way. Believe that and go read the Da Vinci Code.
