What? Has Erik really posted two blog entries in a single week? Maybe that small town in Michigan has finally frozen over. Anyway, those of you lucky to read this get more blogs for your money.
We recently watched the Davinci Code. I liked the movie, although I don't agree with Dan Brown's theology. Stop reading now if you don't want to hear anything about the movie. The central plot to the movie is that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene and they had a child, and this secret has been covered up. The reason for the cover up (supposedly) is that if Jesus had a child, that would somehow prove that he was not the son of God. I don't know if Jesus was married, although I believe it is possible. I am not aware of any Biblical references that specifically say he was not married. And therefore I consider it possible that he could have had children. The part that does not make sense is the idea that if Jesus had children, he can't be the son of God. Did I miss something here? That argument is basically saying that the son of God should be able to perform all sorts of miracles but can't do one thing that all healthy men are capable of doing - to father a child. Tom Hanks does figure this out at the end of the movie, but there is a large conspiracy of people trying to kill all descendants of Christ since those people would somehow prove that Jesus was not divine. The movie was fun and enjoyable, just don't base your life on Dan Brown's bizarre conspiracies.
On an entirely different note, I installed a set of glass doors on our fireplace, which really look nice - much better than the black chain which used to cover it. The installation process was easy, with one exception. The instructions said that it was important to clean the glass of any fingerprints or other dirt before burning anything in the fireplace, otherwise those spots could be burned on to the glass. However, the company put a large warning sticker on the glass of the fireplace. To make it worse, it was the sticky paper kind which are really difficult to remove. We had to soak the glass for several hours to get the sticker off. Here is a bit of free advice to people who sell products: don't annoy your customers with stickers that are difficult to remove, especially when the instructions say the the product must be cleaned before it can be used.

No fingerprints!! Companies should also not sell such items to parents with toddlers.
