Where You Can Be Safe From ‘The Da Vinci Code’

It’s a good thing Idol Chatter didn’t wait until its long-awaited Solomon Islands vacation to see “The Da Vinci Code.” The N.Y. Times reports that the small Pacific nation plans to ban the controversial movie… even though there are no movie theaters in the entire country.

It’s comforting to know that, should some entrepreneur suddenly see a business opportunity in the cinema-deprived Solomon Islands and quickly open a theater, the country’s 500,000 residents (97% of whom are Christian) will be protected against any inclinations this savvy business person might have to launch his venture with Ron Howard’s little art-house flick as its first feature.

If all it takes is a movie to shatter my faith, what faith do I have. If you look behind the story, your faith could be stronger.>
