DA VINCI CODE IS A LITMUS PAPER
Da Vinci Code has become a litmus paper to unveil the state of
Christianity in our country. It turned out that Christianity is not a
state of being for us whereas it should have been an ideology, a means
of communication between us and God, preacher of Bible Church Samvel
Navoyan told a press conference today.
In his words, the film is banned even in Azerbaijan whereas in Armenia
you can rent it at DVD Centers. Khachik Stamboltsyan thinks that the
film and the identical book are released by masons who aim to support
the unbelievers and nihilists. He also thinks that it tries to
`confuse people and redirect them from real Christian faith.’ The
producers have reached their aim since the premier of the film was
held on May 18 in 70 countries at the same time.
In Armenia Da Vinci Code is shown in Nairi cinema only but soon Moscow
Cinema House will also show the film. The tickets are sold off very
quickly and the book costs about $10 in the country. Some say that the
large-scale criticism has caused even more interest among the
people. 75 of people said in a TV survey yesterday that Da Vinci Code
does not cause any harm to Christianity. /Panorama.am/
