'On the pagan day of the sun god Ra, I kneel at the foot of an ancient instrument of torture and consume ritualistic symbols of blood and flesh.' ______________ Open your minds. We all fear what we do not understand. |

Church on sunday with holy communion? Catholic version? Get to church on sunday, kneel beneath the crucifix and take the communion wafer. |

I love Dan Brown's writings - all of them. I like the way he wraps his thoughts around history so people can generate conspiracy theories from them. ![]() ![]() |
Re: Religous Riddle - Please Solve If You Can by Purist(m): 4:58pm On Aug 20, 2010 |
Yeah, the statement was made by Robert Langdon in Dan Brown's "The Lost Symbol". I love Dan Brown! ![]() |

kokoye: lol. . . naah, I read the book last year September. ![]() |
Re: Religous Riddle - Please Solve If You Can by kokoye(m): 5:39pm On Aug 20, 2010 |
reading it now . . .just got the free e-version on my android phone. I dont pay for these books . . .actually prefer to see Dan Brown's writings as movies before reading the books . .so I dont get too disappointed. But I am enjoying this read. |
Re: Religous Riddle - Please Solve If You Can by Purist(m): 5:59pm On Aug 20, 2010 |
I also read the e-book. The hard copy novels I read, I borrow. ![]() I don't like watching movies before I read their book. The suspense would have been lost already, which is what primarily makes a book a good read for me. That's why I haven't read The Da Vinci Code till date, 'cos I watched the movie already. |
Re: Religous Riddle - Please Solve If You Can by kokoye(m): 6:50pm On Aug 20, 2010 |
I also have not read the Da Vinci Code - I love it so much I watch it at least once a month . . got all of Dan Brown's movies on my DVR. But I do have the e-book already though, so I know I will be reading it. Guess I could not wait for the Lost Symbol movie to come out. ![]() |
Re: Religous Riddle - Please Solve If You Can by kokoye(m): 6:52pm On Aug 20, 2010 |
The Angels & Demons movie is different from the book. same concept but a whole lot of differences. I love it! |

This is a riddle? it's EASY, plus it's not even original. Next. |
Re: Religous Riddle - Please Solve If You Can by nuclearboy(m): 7:20pm On Aug 20, 2010 |
^^^ Bros: That wasn't very fair and remember, "there is nothing new under the sun". I think it was better than much of the rubbish bandied about here - at least this particular quote from "the Lost Symbols" could engender a desire to look under the obvious for other realistic realities. |
Re: Religous Riddle - Please Solve If You Can by Purist(m): 7:41pm On Aug 20, 2010 |
kokoye: I was so so not happy when I watched that movie. So many things were changed. That's why I'm bothered about them doing a movie on "The Lost Symbols". |
Re: Religous Riddle - Please Solve If You Can by kokoye(m): 7:43pm On Aug 20, 2010 |
Dolemite: Like you ARE original . . show me your papa house for London. ![]() In case you want to know, I created this thread so that people could free their minds. People fear what they do not understand. Obviously you did not see that line at the start of the thread . . or you are just full of negativity. Relax and have a nice weekend. |
Re: Religous Riddle - Please Solve If You Can by kokoye(m): 7:45pm On Aug 20, 2010 |
Purist: That is exactly whay I prefer to watch the movie first. Just could not wait for the movie this time around. But I'll enjoy both all the same. |

You took the holy communion on sunday? kokoye: |
Re: Religous Riddle - Please Solve If You Can by Bastage: 10:01am On Nov 01, 2010 |
There was no weekly day of worship for Ra. He only had one specific day set aside - 26th May. The instrument of torture that Brown refers to (obviously meaning the cross) was more connected to Horus and not Ra. The main reason I can't stand Dan Brown is that he totally distorts religion but presents it in a way that makes gullible people swallow it. |
Re: Religous Riddle - Please Solve If You Can by nuclearboy(m): 9:46pm On Nov 01, 2010 |
@Bastage: Maybe you should look at it like this - "On the day named after the Sun God, I kneel at the foot of the crucifix (designed for implementing a painful death) and consume symbolic ritualistic fare." I'm not certain Brown believes Sundays are set aside for Ra or that crosses were symbols affliated to Ra |
Re: Religous Riddle - Please Solve If You Can by kokoye(m): 9:58pm On Nov 01, 2010 |
Bastage: It is not his fault some people are gullible. ![]() Same with the church today unfortunately. Some pastors present their cases in usch a way that gullible people swallow it hook line n sinker |
Re: Religous Riddle - Please Solve If You Can by e36991: 10:39pm On Nov 01, 2010 |
Bastage: kokoye: @^^^ Inspite of the half truths, distortions, fiction and falsehoods Dan Brown's novels are good enjoyable reads that can be revealing Take "The Da Vinci Code" for example, talking about an object of seduction and romance - the rose the Da Vinci code: In the same novel, he gives some information about phi (i.e. 1.1618) and why it is called The Golden Ratio or Divine Proportion What really beats me is how do readers miss the below disclaimer ![]() ![]() ![]() Dan Brown's Disclaimer: http://www.ncregister.com/site/article/18061/: |
Re: Religous Riddle - Please Solve If You Can by kokoye(m): 1:33pm On Nov 02, 2010 |
^^^ The problem with people is that they get too carried away and forget that it is purely fiction. Locations and timelines do not have do be accurate in fictions. But of course, some others fuel the fire because they want to generate income by creating chaos and conspiracy theories from those fictions. |
Re: Religous Riddle - Please Solve If You Can by Purist(m): 12:16am On Nov 03, 2010 |
