Disclaimer: This is not about the movie. This post is a direct reaction to the christian response before the movie was released in local theaters.
Prior to the worldwide release of the movie The Da Vinci Code last month, conservative quarters from the roman catholic church went up in arms to ban the public exhibition of the movie in local theaters. As expected, I reacted with much hostility with the nosy demeanor of the christians. Alas, once again, these christians were deluded into thinking that they own the world.
Right in Two [Part III: Atheism, dekonstrukted] May 19, 2006

Due to the palpable sense of confusion, bigotry and misconception by some visitors in this site, I’ve deemed it necessary to write a position paper on atheism – or whatever you think my philosophy should be called. If you feel that my atheism is not as consistent with conventional atheism, you can attribute that to the fact that I didn’t read a reference book on philosophy first prior to choosing to be an atheist. This article’s purpose is to allow those who are willing to understand have a fair access on how I see things and why I am taking a hard-line stance against christian bigots who seek to derail the flow of discussion in this site.

The sound was deafening.
I swear I didn’t see it coming. I’ve always looked on both sides before crossing this very intersection. I’ve done it a million times, but as I am about to know in a few moments, it only really takes one mistake to have it all crashing down. It was blunt force that overcame me.
It happened so fast.

Since time immemorial, it seems like man has always been obsessed in dichotomizing the realm of possibility. It’s not necessarily a bad thing considering that the early man’s perception in being able to discern whether something is edible or toxic by merely looking at something could’ve improved the chances of the species for survival, but unfortunately man has taken to a level that simply defies all mores of common decency and ethics. For more than three thousand years, man has learned to discriminate against those who don’t belong to their side of the dichotomy.
