(Dec. 4) - What makes Jessica Simpson want to go to college and study theology? It's not the fact that her father used to be a minister, but her love of Dan Brown's book 'The Da Vinci Code.'
"I've been contemplating taking a college course in religion," the singer-actress tells Marie Claire, the New York Post reports.
"I love religion. I remember whenever the book 'The Da Vinci Code' came out, the Discovery Channel did this three-night piece on it that I TiVoed and then watched eight times," she adds.

FredBear: "The Da Vinci Code", the reason most people of religion say its all fiction is that they are not willing to think, they would rather "walk by faith then by sight" like sheep on their way to slauter. The Bible can also be said to be a wounderful book of fiction also, written by man for man.Thank you.>>>>THANKS for your personal opinion Fred."The only way we can discern the True from the false is to know the Shepherd's voice - God's Word. Measuring philosophies or theologies or opinions or sermons or books or doctrines or counsel by the Word of God is like exposing the crookedness of a stick by placing a straight stick next to it."

bxboy56- there is nothing stupid in a person saying that the only true faith is the Christian faith because this is showing wisedom. All the other so-called religions are false except for the Jewish faith which was at one time the only true one but was replaced by Christianity. God is narrow minded -your way of thinking it on the human level with all its imperfections and limitations that are found within. His thoughts are not your thoughts and his ways are not our ways. We are used to and have been brought up in this society that everybody is correct as long as it does not hurt anybodyelse with sending flowered rainbows to one and all. The lord isnt a God of confusion-he set a path in the garden of eden and carried it through by means of the Jewish people to be extended to the whole world. He is God-not you or me so he has the right too set up the rules and regs for a person's salvation. like it or not-its the Bible way or its the road too the LKAE OF FIRE WHICH IF YOU LAND THERE -THE...

good stuff, Nascarfreak, keep it up. I often tell people that Jesus' main antagonists on Earth were(are) the "religious." Both Old and New Testament show this. The problem for most people, I suspect, is that it's far easier to live with "religion" and rules than to live by faith. Everyone has their religion, their comfort zone, even the atheists.

FDPJR: codes not withstanding you've actually got it completely wrong. God absolutely DOES care that you believe, belief in Christ is fundamental to eternal life. Upon His crucifixion and resurrection Jesus fulfilled that you spoke of, a law whose purpose was to point out our sinful nature and turn us to Christ, who is our savior. Salvation is NOT found in the law or our ability to follow it, because ultimately we can't.

I can't believe the stupidity of some of these posters saying "don't believe in religion, just believe in Jesus and Christianity!!! WTF. This is exactly what's wrong with religion...... Zero tolerance for other people's believes and thinking. That's why I believe in MY GOD GANGA. We accept all and have absolutly no discrimination against anyone!!

Look God stayed in Heaven becuase somebody had to run the place- jesus was his son- one of the angels- still rubs me the wrong way that he had his kid killed so tragically but he did get a few hundred pages in the bible. I thinks it's nice jessica wants to study religion some. It can lead to a good foundation. I prefer to look at the Bible code for relevenat information that may be needed for this time and place. if you don't know what the bible code is you can google it or watch the history chanel when the tv show on the bible code airs. By the way you don't have to believe, all he cares about is that you try and live a good life based on his laws. he gave the laws so that you would know there is some retribution if you don't behave well. Go for it Jessica. Studyinmg religion can't hurt. .

Not long ago she was gushing about having six kids, about how she loves Tony, about how she checks his phone... I guess it pays to be dumb and blond with the media in america. Jessica dear..do yourself a favor and stay out of the media..everytime you open your mouth you make a fool out of yourself.
