The DaVinvi Code and Choosing a Church

So, I'm going to see the DaVinci Code this weekend. Actually today. I'm going to see the Matinee with my wife and father. It should be pretty cool. I know most Catholics are foaming at the mouth that a book would dare question the Catholic Church. I say Fuckem!

Many say it is Blasphemous to the church. I say that is wrong to put your belief in God in the hands of a church. For me, it's not that big a deal what deonination I belong to. Right no my wife and I are deciding which church to belong to. We tried UCC, Methodis, Roman Catholic (by defualt because we had to go to a first communion), and soon to try a Lutheran. We are leaning toward the United Methodist Church. The people are nice, I like the songs, and they do a good job making you feel comfortable. My wife, though, was a life-long Lutheran, and wants to try out the church near us.

I'm willing to accomodate becasue I'm not so much hung up on categorizing our beliefe in God by putting a label on which church we attend. Belief in God should be a private experience through you and God, without a someone stepping in and filling your head with ritual. And if you ever attended a Catholic Church, which I did for the first 14 years of my life, then you know what I mean. I much prefer my church to act as a guide in my private spiritual journey.
