Da Vinci Code from Hindu Perspective (8) Kalki Gaur © 2006 Copyrights “Da Vinci Code and Gospel of Judas as Clash of Civilizations.”
(1) Rise of Christian Goddess of Holy Spirit
One. From Hindu point of view, through ‘The Da Vinci Code’ resurfaced sacred feminine that had been banished from Europe by Christianity in the most violent manner. Had in the Christianity the Jesus Narrative developed with emphasis on Magdalene-Jesus as the Yin-Yang emerged instead of the emergence of Jesus Narrative as the tool of patriarchal Judaism, imperial Rome, the spiritual evolution of western humanity would have taken a better course. Western Christian Civilization today is a battle field that requires the extermination of the theological ‘others’ for each battling side in the ongoing war between matriarchal tolerant inclusive Gnostic Christianity and patriarchal iconoclast intolerant Judeo-Christianity.
Two. From Hindu point of view, the Da Vinci Code presents to Christian Laity and the popular psyche of the West, a chance to take a peek at the immensity of the harm done to Christian heritage by the suppression of the sacred Feminine by a power-centric theological authority of Jews dominated Orthodox and Catholic Church leadership. The Da Vinci Code that convinced almost every Christian laity that Christian Bible based on the Lie, and that Church leaders conjured up notions about patriarchal monotheist God, Immaculate Conception of Mary, Divinity of Jesus, Original Sin, Biblical Story, Concept of Salvation, Sacrament. The Da Vinci Code convinced Christian laity that Christian conception of God is an androgynous concept of God both a male and a female. The Da Vinci Code convinced Christian laity that Christian Goddess Holy Spirit is as Christian sky-god and sun god Mithra renamed as Christian God the Father. For Hindus whose daily life in immersed in a whole cultural milieu that reverberates with the Goddess, this is a dream come true that a fraternal Christian civilization of fellow humanity realize the sacredness of Feminine Holy Spirit in the Christianity. The Da Vinci Code convinced Christian laity that the aggressive iconoclast exclusive patriarchal monotheist theologies of monoculture of the Judeo-Christianity, Roman Catholicism and Orthodoxy were the Lie perpetrated by greedy Bishops at the 325 Council of Nicaea at the orders of Emperor Constantine. The Da Vinci Code convinced Christian laity that the real roots of Christianity lay not in Judaism but in Mithraism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Manicheans. The Da Vinci Code made many Christian laity demand to expunge Jewish Old Testament from Christian Bible and New Testament. After Da Vinci Code and the emergence of sacred Feminine Holy Spirit in the Christianity, Hindus hope to see a change in Christian perspective and this shall benefit and deepen Christian spirituality. The inclusion of the Christian feminine Holy Spirit and acceptance of Mary Magdalene as the leader of the 12 apostles with Hindu concept of Goddess and Hindu Mysticism seems to Christian laity more fruitful and suggestive than the alternative of taking Christian myth to the exclusion of Hinduism.
(2) Hindu Origins of Christianity
One. From Hindu point of view, the Emperor Constantine was a Hindu and he worshipped Hindu God Mithra. Hindu Roman Emperor Constantine ordered under the pain of death Christian Bishops at 325 Nicaea Council of Bishop, to develop a new cocktail of a new religion called Christianity, based after his personal name Constantine, by mixing the concept of Hindu god Mithra with Jewish concept of exclusive patriarchal religion of sword, around the brand name of Jesus of Nazareth.
Two. From Hindu point of view, it is not just with Sol Invictus of pre-Christian Rome that Jesus shares many characteristic features. Starting from Egyptian sun God to the Goddess traditions of Sumer and even Canaanite Goddess worships, many elements centuries older than the period ascribed to Jesus, find their place in Jesus myth. At the 325 Council of Nicaea the Christian framework of historic and Gnostic Jesus is replaced by Hindu Jesus that is exclusive as well as universal, and a earthly dimension of Hindu Brahman the impersonal Godhead of Hindu Vedanta. To the Christian theology at the 325 Nicaea Council this view of Jesus was definitely a quantum jump.
Three. From Hindu point of view, most Christian religious concepts are drawn from non-Judaic sources. The concept of Baptism had its origin in Hindu-Sumerian ritual for the Sumerian water God ‘Ea.’ The Christian baptism ritual practiced by John the Baptist, depicted in synoptic Gospels comes down from the Sumerian rituals for the water Deity Ea. More interestingly the analysis of the etymological roots of John proves that it is derived from Hellenic ‘Oannes’ the Sumerian Hindu water god ‘Ea.’ English ‘John’ is Hebrew ‘Yohanan’ which is Latin ‘Johannes’ which in turn is Greek ‘Ioannes,’ which in turn is derived from Hellenistic ‘Oannes’. That is the name of the Sumerian water God Ea.
Four. From Hindu point of view, ‘the Da Vinci Code’ has brought to the realm of Christian laity’s public stare and debate the innumerable aspects Jesus narrative shares with undeniably Mithraism, pagan, Hindu, Egyptian, Babylonian religions more than Christianity shares with Judaism or Islam. Long before Dan Brown, scholars like Joseph Campbell and Alan Watts who studied Christianity in the light of comparative mythology with an emphasis on Hindu Indic spiritual traditions anticipated this post-Da Vinci Code trend, not just in public psyche but also in the world of scholars. With the synthesis by institutional Christianity at its very early period as ‘politics of monotheism, Jesus became and continued to be ‘an artifice of aggression’ to serve the interests of the Jewish-origin leaders of the Orthodox and Catholic Church.
Five. From Hindu point of view, the Biblical story of the divine birth of Jesus borrowed the astronomical event of the double eclipse of Jupiter in the year 6 BCE on 20th March and 17 April. Three instances not mentioned in ‘The Da Vinci code’ shall prove the point. Michael Molnar an astronomer studied the astronomical/astrological symbolism of ancient Roman coins and discovered that the star of Bethlehem was a double eclipse of Jupiter in a rare astrological conjunction that occurred in the constellation Aries on 20th of March in 6 BCE and again on 17th of April in 6 BCE. This event is not astronomically as significant as it is astrologically significant. Molnar corroborates his thesis by, Mathesis, a book written by Maternus in 334 CE. To the author of this book, a pagan convert to Christianity, this astrological event signified the birth of a divine king. Molnar pointed out that the early Christian theologians buried the knowledge of the star's astrological roots and in time it was forgotten.
Six. From Hindu point of view, the Da Vinci Code convinced Christian laity that the Divinity of Jesus Christ and exclusive nature of sacrifice of Jesus that formed the core of the Catholic theology that formed the rock of Catholic Church’s power structure is Lie and conjured up notions at the 325 Council of Bishops, and all Bishops throughout have known it that it was a Lie and false doctrine. The major Churches and hundreds of evangelist organizations in India are aggressively marketed in India the image of Jesus as the exclusive historic messiah and the only Son of God. Earlier, Hindus, saints and scholars, even though had accepted Jesus as a divine personality but had totally rejected the Catholic emphasis on historicity and the claims of exclusiveness of the Divinity of Jesus as Son of God. The Da Vinci Code convinced the Christian laity that the entire concept of the Divinity of Jesus, Immaculate Conception of Mary and Jesus as the son of Holy Spirit’s union with Mary, and the concept of Jesus as the Son of God, were a Lie and conjured up notions at the 325 Council of Nicaea. Now, Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Jains, Zoroastrians and Jews have no fear to openly declare that Jesus was not a Messiah, Jesus was not a Son of God, Jesus did not have a Divine Birth and that all these assertions of Roman Catholic Church were no more than the false propaganda and lies of Bishops that felt compelled to produce a conjured up notion of religion, and the succession of Popes used brutal force to maintain and perpetuate this conjured up lie. Da Vinci Code proved to the satisfaction of Catholic laity that Catholic Bible based on Lie.
(3) Harvesting of Orthodox & Catholic Souls in 21st Century
One. From Hindu point of view, after the Da Vinci code the hunting season began for what the late Pope John Paul II said in Indian during 1999 Synod of Asia namely, ‘the harvest of the souls,’ with a provision that the harvest of the Catholic and Orthodox souls began in 2006. If Gnostic and Protestant Reformed Christianity entered into tie up with Buddhism and Hinduism, then matriarchal religions could easily harvest more than 500 million Catholic and Orthodox souls before 2012, before the end of the period of 20 years after the 1991 demise of the Soviet Union. It is possible that Roman Catholic Church and Orthodox Church could turn into dust before 2012 because of the revelations of Da Vinci Code and result in the mass exodus of Catholics and Orthodox to Gnostic Protestant Reformed Christian Church, Islam, Buddhism or Hinduism. Gnostic Christians believe that Pope John Paul II was correct in demanding the fundamental human right of religious conversions. Every Catholic and Orthodox has a fundamental human right to convert to Gnostic Protestant Christianity, Islam or Buddhism, if he believed the assertion of Da Vinci Code that Catholic Church and Orthodox Church based on a Lie. Let the harvesting of Catholic and Orthodox souls begin.
Two. From Hindu point of view, ‘the Da Vinci Code’ phenomenon is a subtle affirmation of this Hindu view of Jesus in the Christian psyche of the Christianity. A Hindu often views the narrative of the life of Jesus as mythological than as historical. Hindu attributes symbolic, psychological and spiritual meanings to the Jesus narratives just as Hindus do for Hindu mythologies. Self-realized Enlightened Jesus of Nazareth can be an instrument for the individual realization of impersonal Godhead within, to unlock the secrets of the Kingdom of God residing in the heart, even if one were to reject altogether the Divinity of Jesus and Immaculate Conception of Mary.
Three. From Hindu point of view, Jesus of Nazareth was a Hindu as well as a Buddhist and the Mission of Jesus was to reveal the Hindu and Buddhist concept of God to Jews. Jesus of Nazareth had rejected Jewish concepts of Law, Circumcision, Sabbath and Original Sin. Jews killed Jesus, and his brother Apostle James the Just, Apostle Paul, because Jews realized that Jesus of Nazareth was not a Prophet of Jews, while he could be a Prophet to preach Hinduism in the Holy Land of Jews.
Four. From Hindu point of view, the Gospel of Mary Magdalene, Gospel of Thomas, and other Gnostic Gospels proved beyond doubt that the principle mission of Jesus of Nazareth and his 12 disciples was to bring the mysticism, worship of goddess and religious knowledge of Hindus and Buddhists to the Jewish peoples of Holy Land.
Five. From Hindu point of view, the 325 Nicaea Council of Bishops created a new religion named “Christianity” named after “Constantine,” around core concepts of Vedic Hindu god Mithra and religious of Mithraism renamed God the Father, around brand name Jesus and Jewish system of organized religion of sword organized around Roman system of management. Hindus accept the Orthodox and Catholic God the Father in its real identity as Vedic Hindu sun God Mithra. Hindus accept the Orthodox and Catholic Goddess Holy Spirit as the other name of Goddess Shakti, the Sanskrit name of Holy Spirit. Hinduism welcomes Orthodox Christianity and Catholic Christianity to join its Mother, the Hinduism and realize its fulfillment as sects of Hinduism. Christian laity should be free to join Hinduism if they want without any interference of Orthodox and Catholic Church, especially since Pope John Paul II declared at the 1999 Synod of Asia that Right of religious conversion is a basic human right of all. Hindus want Catholic and Orthodox Christian laity to exercise their right to convert to Hinduism, the Mother Religion of Orthodoxy, Roman Catholicism and Gnosticism.
Six. From Hindu point of view, the term Jews and Jesus derived from Hindu Vedic Greek God Zeus, the king of gods and god of thunder. The terms Jews and Jesus derived from Greek term “Zeus.” The nomad Jews is an offshoot of the nomad Aryan. The religion of Judaism is similar to the religion of Vedic Hindu Aryan patriarchy. Aryan scripture Manu Smriti is the mother scripture to Jewish Law. The ancient religion of patriarchal nomad Jews took roots and seeds from a similar mother religion of patriarchal nomad Aryans.
Seven. From Hindu point of view, at the time of Jesus more than 95 percent of the then civilized world was Hindu. The religions of ancient Egyptians, ancient Greeks, ancient Romans, ancient Persia; and religions of Taoism, Buddhism, Shintoism; and religions of ancient Incas, Mayas and Aztecs as well the pagan religions of black Africa are just interrelated independent sects of Hinduism.
Eight. From Hindu point of view, Hindus do not want to convert Christians to Hinduism. Hindus want wants Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism to become a part of Hinduism. Hinduism is like a giant Milky Way and it sucks galaxies of religions. Hinduism believes that there are infinite paths to directly reach Divinity and no path can claim to be the exclusive path to reach divinity. Hinduism does not want to destroy Christianity, it simply wants Christianity to develop and evolve as a member of Hindu family of religions. Hindus do not want to impose their gods on other people. Hindus want gods of other religions join the pantheon of Hindu gods. In Hinduism the impersonal God Brahman co-exists in harmony with the pantheon of Hindu Gods and Goddess. Hindus do not kill and destroy the God of rival religions, Hindu simply place the head of the rival religion as one of the multitude heads of its Maha Vishnu God. Hinduism does not seek to convert individual Orthodox or Catholic soul, as Hinduism simply want to convert the religion of Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism itself, so that Orthodox and Catholics could continue to worship Christian Holy Trinity as a Hindu.
Nine. From Hindu point of view, amalgamated invention of Jesus myth and the fusion of these diverse elements into Jesus as done by the Orthodox and Catholic Church ensured the creation and maintenance of an ironclad Church power structure that survived for 1700 years obliterating all religious diversity or Theo diversity in Europe. But for Hinduism that encouraged for centuries the evolution of his Deities inter-changing divine qualities and mythological motifs, this comes as no surprise. Nor does this make the relation between the Deity and devotee dry and academic in Hinduism. In Hinduism the Deity is only a tool in realizing the universal impersonal Godhead residing within your own heart. Thereby Hinduism does not see not as blasphemy the deconstruction of the Hindu Deity or for that matter Christian deity in timeline by religious scholars. Paradoxically in Hinduism, such a deconstruction of a Deity, into its historical constituent elements, has only increased Hindus’ love for their Hindu Deity as such Hindu scholars also turn out to be very ardent devotees of the very God or Goddess they deconstruct. It is the lust and greed for power and money that inhibits the mainstream Christianity as represented by Catholic Church and other dominant protestant Churches and Evangelists in accepting the Theo-evolution of Christian Deities and Christian concept of Jesus and Holy Trinity.
Ten. From Hindu point of view, if Hindus were to accept the challenge or gauntlet that Pope John Paul II threw at Hindus during 1999 Synod of Asia, by declaring that Right of Religious Conversions is a Basic Human Right, then Hinduism would like to convince to the Christian laity that Jesus of Nazareth was a Hindu. Besides the Religion of Christianity that 325 Council of Nicaea created was a form of the religion of Vedic Hindu god Mithra or Mithraism. If Roman Catholic Church wants to convert poor Hindus and tribal Hindus then Catholic Church should not mind if eclectic tolerant inclusive infinite Hinduism gobbles up Christianity in its entirety and makes it a form of Hinduism. Hinduism is an Eternal Religion (Sanatan Dharma) and an infinite Universe that can gobble up multitudes of religious galaxies or multitude of religions or multitude of gods, without using any sword or fire and without firing a single shot. Hinduism is ready, willing and capable for peaceful takeover of Christianity, with all its theology, Holy Trinity, and Clergy. Hinduism can do it peacefully by using the power of Idea and power of Pen only. Christian Church must stop proselytizing Hindus in India, lest black hole of Hindu Milky Way gobble up Christian Galaxy itself, with all its souls, Church, Clergy and Holy Trinity. Infinite Hinduism can easily gobble up multitudes of infinites and still remain unchanged as an infinite Eternal Hinduism. The Da Vinci Code and Gospel of Judas and Gospel of Mary Magdalene provides to Hinduism a window of opportunity to make the world Religion of Christianity a part of Eternal Hinduism during first half of the 21st Century. Suddenly in 2006, the Hindus worldwide developed an insatiable desire for the peaceful complete takeover of the religion of Christianity.
Eleven. From Hindu point of view, the Idea that Jesus of Nazareth was a Hindu and that Christianity has deeper roots in Hinduism than in Judaism, is an Idea whose time has come. The idea that Christianity is an offshoot of Judaism is an Idea whose time has gone. No power in the world and no sword of the intolerant religions of sword can stop the Idea whose time has come. The 21st Century is the Century of Asia as well as the Century of tolerant Oriental Religions. Christianity in general and Gnostic Reformed Christianity in particular is part of the Oriental Religions as Christianity has deeper roots in Hinduism than in Judaism. Old Testament is not part of the Christian Bible and New Testament. Christian concept of God and Holy Trinity totally opposed to Judaic monotheist concept of God Yahweh as well as Islamic monotheist concept of Allah. The only thing that artificially united Judaism, Christianity and Islam was the fact that Jews albeit converted Jews held top religious leadership positions in Christianity as well as Islam. Jesus of Nazareth wants Christianity to break its ties with Judaism and renews its ties with Hinduism. Jesus of Nazareth as expressed in Gnostic Gospels wants Christian Church to expunge Jewish Old Testament from Christian Bible and include Hindu and Buddhist scriptures as Old Testament in Christian Bible. Paradoxically the Da Vinci Code has opened the religious third eye of the Christian laity that suddenly realized that Jesus had rejected all such religious concepts that Jews inserted into Christian Bible and New Testament. True Christianity is the total negation of Judaism as well as purist exclusive iconoclast patriarchal monotheism. Hinduism welcomes Christianity for a peaceful union with Hinduism. In terms of Hegelian dialectics, Hinduism is a thesis, Christianity is antithesis and the eclectic union of Hinduism and Christianity after expunging Old Testament is the Synthesis. The peaceful eclectic inclusive reunion of Christianity, Hinduism and Buddhism shall create a new world Religion that shall dominate the world for next 25,000 years. The idea that Christianity should join Hinduism and Buddhism is an Idea whose time has come. Oriental Religions welcomes Christianity of Jesus and Holy Trinity with open hands and open minds without any reservations and welcomes the union or merger of three equal world religions. Infinite world religions can merge into one another to form new Infinite Religion without losing their individual identities. In the eclectic tolerant inclusive androgynous Oriental Milky Way separate galaxies of world religions such as Christianity, Hinduism and Buddhism would maintain their independent individual existences. This is Oriental welcome to Christianity of Jesus of Nazareth as well as to the Christianity of 325 Council of Nicaea. The force of eclectic tolerant inclusion is more powerful, than the force of purist intolerant exclusion. Hindus welcomes Reformed Christianity to join the winning team.

Hegelian Dialectic of Religion in Da Vinci Code (7) Kalki Gaur © 2006 Copyrights “Da Vinci Code and Gospel of Judas as Clash of Civilizations.”
(1) World is Product of Ideas: One. The world we live in is the product of our Ideas. When we change the reigning Idea, the world we live in also changes. Ideas make history and the matter does not makes History contrary to what Marxist dialectical materialism would make us believe. Two. The Da Vinci Code apparently a fiction and a movie has changed the Christian laity’s Idea of Christianity, Biblical story, Immaculate Conception of Mary, Divinity of Jesus, Salvation, Sacrament, Original Sin, Circumcision, Old Testament, Monotheism, Patriarchy, Holy Trinity, Mysticism, Polytheism, Goddess Holy Spirit and Role of women in Church. The Da Vinci Code says the present Catholic Bible and Catholicism and Orthodoxy based on Lie, hence no longer infallible Word of God. The Idea underlying the very foundation of Christianity has changed and old ideas stand discredited. Since the fundamental tenet of Christianity has changed the Christianity as well as Christendom has changed and old order cannot come back.
Three. The World, the Civilization and the Religion that we live in are the products of our Ideas. Whenever the people and the laity change the reigning Idea or challenge the fundamental Idea, on which was based the civilization or religion or culture, the world, civilization, religion and culture also changes.
Four. The intolerant exclusive purist patriarchal religions of Swords dominated the first and second Christian Millennium. The inclusive eclectic matriarchal religions with mighty sword of tolerance shall dominate the third Millennium.
Five. The year 2006 is a turning point in history. The unprecedented rise of the Da Vinci Code and Gospel of Judas, in May 2006 shook the mind of the Christian laity worldwide and Orthodox Church and Catholic Church would never again be able to browbeat the Christian laity by force of sword. The rise of Evo Morales the Aymara Inca Indian as the President of Bolivia, who nationalized the white-owned Bolivian oil-gas energy companies heralded the comeback of the Inca Civilization, Inca Religion, Inca Culture in Andean America, Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru. The Cold War staged a comeback in May 2006.
Six. No power in the world and no amount of swords can stop the Idea whose time has come. No power in the world and no amount of swords can sustain an Idea whose time has gone. The secret of the success of the Da Vinci Code is that Christian laity after reading it believes that inclusive tolerant Matriarchal Gnostic Christianity is the Idea whose time has come and the patriarchal iconoclast purist exclusive Judeo-Christianity is the Idea whose time has gone. The Rise of the Gospel of Judas coincided with the Da Vinci Code in the May of 2006.
(2) Man Creates the Idea of Good & Evil
One. Man is a value giver that is why he is a Man. The values are the result of value giving. Man without the power of value giving will make the nutshell of man’s existence hollow and sterile. Neither the Clergy nor the Church but the Laity creates the Idea of Good and Evil of its time.
Two. Zoroaster is the Prophet of the Prophets. Prophets Moses and Joshua owe their monotheism to Zoroaster. The Prophet Zoroaster, the founder of first Occidental Religion, Zoroastrianism, the dominant religion of the world for thousands of years, discovered the goods and evils of many peoples. There is no force on the earth greater than the force of good and force of evil. Many things that one people call good other people call them ridiculous and shameful. Many things that in one civilization called evil, the other civilization honors it with purple colors. Men gave to themselves all what they call good and evil. Men did not find the good and evil at some place, they did take it from some one else. The idea of good and evil did not drop on them as voice from the heavens. Man himself is the value giver that is why he is a Man. The values are the result of value giving, without value giving the nutshell of existence will be hollow.
Three. Christian laity after reading the Da Vinci Code and the Gospel of Judas wants to assert their right as a Man the power of value giving. Christian laity wants to redefine Christian religious values as an tolerant inclusive eclectic matriarchal Christianity and expunge from Christianity the purist exclusive Judaic influences of patriarchy intolerance and monotheism. Christianity does not believe in Judaic iconoclast patriarchal monotheism.
Four. American Christian laity is concerned that Christian concept of Salvation that supposedly earned for Christians the right to enter heaven just because of the sacrifice of Jesus at the Crucifixion was a Lie, and it meant that no Christian that believed in the false doctrine of Salvation could enter heaven after death during last 1700 years. False Doctrine of Christian Salvation might have sent billions of Christians to Hell rather than Heaven during last 1700 years. This is the core argument of Da Vinci Code, Gospel of Judas, Gospel of Mary Magdalene and Gnostic Bible. Only Gnostic Mystic truths could save the Christian Souls rotting in the Hell during last 1700 years. Salvation can only be achieved by good mystic deeds, mystic meditations, mystic knowledge and good karma. False faiths can only lead to hell not to heaven. This had also been the argument of Philosopher Friedrich Hegel, Protestant Reformed Christianity and Reformation that sale of Indulgences by Papacy could only lead to hell not heaven. Papacy could enforce this Lie on the European Christian laity by sword only. It is moral imperative that hegemon Christian King of his time resides at the White House and he must wield Christian Sword of Religion to enforce that Christian Bible in the 21st Century based on Truth not on Lie so that False Clergy must discontinue preaching false doctrine that led Christian believers to hell rather than heaven after death.
(3) Hegelian Dialectic Idealism
The dialectic of Idea is more powerful than the dialectic of Matter. The Dialectic Idealism determines History, more than the Dialectic Materialism. Idea always improvises the idea it replaces. The Thesis is the Idea that degenerates and becomes Antithesis, which is the Counter-Idea. The Antithesis or Counter-Idea faces opposition from the original Idea that results in the Synthesis. The antithesis as well as thesis finds its self-fulfillment in synthesis.
(12) Religion of Sword is Antithesis
The eclectic religion of tolerance inclusion is the thesis. The intolerant exclusive patriarchal iconoclast purist religion of sword is the antithesis. The eclectic mystic religion with a mighty sword of tolerance inclusion is the synthesis.
Two. The mystic religion that allows believers the direct access to Divine is thesis. The priest-ruled religion that requires intermediacy of priest for laity’s access to the Divine is antithesis. The priest-supported mystic religion that requires the intermediacy of the mystic priests to understand the esoteric secret mystical practices is Synthesis.
Three. The decentralized religions of goddess without any centralized system of priestess, where women alone can become the Priestess is the thesis. The centralized patriarchal religion of god, where god is a man only, is the antithesis. The centralized androgynous religion of God, where god is both a man as well as a woman, is the synthesis.
Four. The religion that Jesus preached to the Jews based on the secret knowledge of Hindus and Buddhists and Zoroastrians is the thesis. The Christianity of Council of Nicaea that adopted the worship of sun god Mithra renamed as God the Father, and Judaic religious management as religion of sword, on the brand name of Jesus, borrowing Hindu biblical story of Krishna and religious con concepts of Mithraism backed by the Roman power is the antithesis. The reorganized Gnostic Protestant Reformed Christianity that believes in the God the Father, Goddess the Holy Spirit and Jesus as an Enlightened Self-realized Prophet, backed by the eclectic Sword of tolerance inclusion is the synthesis.
(13) Da Vinci Code Biblical Story: (13) Da Vinci Code demands Reformation
One. Three years and 45 million plus copies since its publication, “The Da Vinci Code” has evolved into its own subculture. And with film version of the bestseller hitting the theaters, expect Da Vinci mania to grow even wider. It’s the Star Wars of the publishing industry. It is a phenomenon beyond books or movies. Dan Brown struck upon, the untold secrets in biblical history, and culturally the moment is right for that too. But the big thing is that it shows there’s a lot of interest in this topic. Da Vinci Code leads to a centuries-old conspiracy that one character in the book labels “the biggest cover-up in human history” to cover up the explosive truth about Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene. The Da Vinci Code questions the basis of Christian laity’s religious faith. Da Vinci Code suggests that Orthodox and Catholic Church and Bible based on a Lie and therefore it is not an infallible Word of God. The Da Vinci Code might have permanently damaged the very moral foundations of Christianity, Catholic and Orthodox Church. The Da Vinci Code has been dragged into a world of Christian laity who thinks that revelations are true and real stuff, or at least as much an infallible Word of God as Bible is. Unless Catholic and Orthodox Church succeed in convincing the Christian laity that Church and Bible not based on Lie, it might turn Orthodox Church or Catholic Church into dust in not so distant a future. Orthodoxy as well as Roman Catholicism might demise like the 1989 demise of East European Communism. Orthodox and Roman Catholic Church might face demise like 1991 demise of the Soviet Union, without any shot fired and without any hostile foreign act. It is high time that world develop infrastructure to manage the inevitable decline or demise of the Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism as well as the demise of Orthodox and Roman Catholic Church in the 21st Century. No power in the world can save an idea whose time has gone. No power in the world can stop an idea whose time has come. Roman Catholicism and Orthodoxy is an idea whose time has gone. Gnosticism and Protestantism is an idea whose time has come. The Da Vinci Code, the Gospel of Judas and spate of legal cases of Catholic pedophile priests and priest sex abuse cases convinced Christian laity that defect has arisen in the Catholic Church and Clergy.
Two. The Christianity, the Christian Bible as well as Christian Church must undergo Reformation to meet the challenge posed by the allegations in Da Vinci Code, regarding Defect in the New Testament Christian Bible as well as inside the Christian Church Organization. The Da Vinci Code has raised two fundamental challenges to the Christianity as a religion as well as to the Christian Church as an Institution or organization. Failure to reform Christianity as well as Christian Church may permanently damage Christianity as a religion as well as faith of the Christian laity worldwide.
Three. Roman Catholic Church met the similar challenge in the past by murdering many tens of million Christian laity in the past, such as after 325 AD, and during Inquisitions and Counter Reformation Wars. However, this option is no longer available, as the Sword of tolerant eclectic Protestant Reformed Christianity mightier than the Sword of Papacy today. It is time to revisit all the heresies that Orthodox Church and Catholic Church declared heretical during last 1700 years including those during Inquisitions and Counter Reformation Wars.
Four. The Da Vinci Code alleged that Christian Theology, Dogmas and Bible based on Lie. Da Vinci Code alleges that Biblical Story, Divinity of Jesus and Immaculate Conception of Mary are conjured up notions and a Lie. Da Vinci Code suggests that Gnostic Gospels, including Gospel of Judas, Gospel of Thomas, Gospel of Philip, Gospel of Mary Magdalene, Gospel of Truth and Gospel of Sophia of Jesus Christ present True Original Christian Bible and the New Testament based on Lie. These theological issues raised by Da Vinci Code need to be addressed in democratic and scholarly manner. It requires that a Congress of Clergy should be directly elected by Christian Laity to legislate on Christian Theology to produce Universal Christian Bible common to all Christian sects, denominations and Churches worldwide. It is a moral imperative that New World Council of Christian Bishops should be convened, as soon as possible and it should decide whether to include Gnostic Gospels as Canonical Gospels of the New Testament and Christian Bible.
Five. The Da Vinci Code alleged that certain secret societies and organizations that operated out of the Vatican and secretly controlled the Roman Catholic Church and Papacy and they indulged in criminal activities. This raised the political issue that Christian Clergy should reform the political and secular management of the Christian Church to make Church more accountable to the Christian laity. It required political reformation, crusades of democracy inside the Christian Church and democratic nation building in the Church. It is a moral imperative that New World Council of Christian Bishops should be convened, as soon as possible and it should decide on democratic institutional building inside the Christian Church to make them more responsible to the will hopes and aspirations of the Christian laity worldwide.
Six. The Da Vinci Code challenged the theology and Biblical story of the New Testament the Christian Bible and it would require the theological, spiritual reformation of Christianity and Christian Bible New Testament. The Da Vinci Code challenged the management and administration of the Church, alleging that criminal elements or murderous priests could control the leadership of the Church, behind the scene. It would require the political and secular reformation of the administrative and management of the Christian Church.
Seven. The Da Vinci Code vindicates the centuries-old religious stand of Jews that Jesus of Nazareth was not a Messiah or Prophet as the term understood by Jews. The Da Vinci Code absolves the Jews and Israelis of any involvement with any secret society referred to in the “Protocols of the Meetings of the Elders of Zion.” The Da Vinci code suggests that the secret society referred to in the “Protocols of the Meetings of the Elders of Zion,” is certain secret Catholic society operating out of the Vatican that might go by the name, “Priori of Sion,” or “Opus Dei,” or any other unnamed secret organization of the Papacy that secretly controls the Papacy and the Roman Catholic Church, and styles itself as the “Hidden hand of the Proverbial Snake World Ruler.”
(14) Crusades of Democracy inside Church
One. President Bush declared during second inauguration speech in January 2005 that Crusades of Democracy and Democratic Nation Building would be principal foreign policy goal of the Second Bush Administration. Christian Church especially in North America and Europe needs Crusades of Democracy and Democratic Nation building more than ever.
Two. Tyrannical totalitarian dictatorial oppressive non-democratic fundamentalist Christian Church is an anathema to White Western Christian Civilization of North America and Europe and threatens to descend New Global Dark Age on White Western Christendom in the 21st Century.
Three. Unless White Christian Church of the White Western Civilization reformed and developed democratic institutions for Church self-governance that democratically reflected the will aspirations and hopes of the White Christian Laity, not only Christianity shall decline but also White race would decline.
(15) Separation of Power inside Church
One. The defect in the Clergy and the Church arose because the Church organized around the outdated principles of Roman Empire that perished in 415 AD. Roman Catholic Church organized like Roman Empire that perished 1700 years ago. New Roman Catholic Church should be organized around sound constitutional principles of the 1777 Constitution. United States is the leading Christian King residing at the White House, and it is moral imperative that Christian Church –Catholic, Orthodoxy and Protestant- organized around the constitutional principles of the 1777 Constitution of the United States of America. The White House and the Capitol should not hesitate to the use of the political might of the United States and the Sword of eclectic inclusive Tolerance to reform Christian Church of all sects and all denominations. It is a moral imperative that the White House and the Capitol led the Reformation of Christian Church worldwide.
Two. American constitutional System of Separation of Power of the Executive Branch, Legislative Branch and Judiciary should form the basis of Reformation of Roman Catholic Church, Protestant Church and Orthodox Church.
Three. The Christian laity worldwide shall directly elect Pope or President of Christian Church once every four years. Church Senate and Church Congress shall have the authority to impeach the Pope of the Presidents of the Church. Roman Catholic Christian Vatican is an independent sovereign political State, a member of the United Nation as a State, organized like a totalitarian theocracy, no different than the theocracy of Ayatollah-ruled Iran. Vatican and Papacy is no less a theocracy or totalitarian or fundamentalist or extremist than Ayatollah-ruled Iran. The head of the State of the Vatican, the Pope should be directly elected by the Christian Laity just like the President of France or President of the United States. No priest should hold the post of the head of the Vatican or Papacy. Women should have equal opportunity to hold the political office of the Papacy, the head of the Vatican State, just like in any Western democracy. Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry, Senator Kennedy, President Chirac of France, Chancellor Gerard Schroeder, Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi of Italy and Mrs. Sonia Gandhi of India are ideal candidates for the post of Pope, the head of the independent sovereign State of the Vatican. Similarly President Bill Clinton, President Jimmy Carter, and President George H.W. Bush (senior) are ideal candidates for President of the Southern Baptist Church in the United States. Prime Minister Tony Blair shall be an ideal candidate for the post of the President of the Anglican Church of England.
Four. Every country, whether small or big, shall send two Church Senators to the Church Senate. The Senate of the Church shall represent the political and legislative interests of the Christian Laity of various nations of the world. The Senate of Cardinals, Council of Cardinals or Council of Princes would represent the Princes of the Church, the secular temporal power of the Church. Like the Senate the Senate of Cardinals should represent the political interests of the Christian Laity worldwide. Every nation should have two Cardinals. The number of white Cardinals from Italy or France or Germany or the United States should not exceed the black cardinals from any African, Caribbean, South American country. No country should have more than two Cardinals or two Church Senators. The Senate of Cardinals should follow the procedures of the US Senate. Every country shall send two Church Senators and they shall serve for a period of four years and they are eligible for reelection. Church Senators can serve for the maximum term limits of two terms of four years each. The Church Senators shall legislate the institutional changes inside the Christian Church to make Christian Church more responsive to the will needs and aspirations of the Christian laity. The Church Senators shall decide on the procedures to transfer the ownership of Church property into a Trust controlled by Christian laity. The Church Senators shall decide how every National Church shall be independent and manage its national affairs independently to meet the aspirations of its nationals and local Christian laity.
Five. For every one million population of Christian laity, there shall be one Church Representative that Christian Laity shall elect to send to the Church Congress once every four years. The Congress of the Church shall represent the theological and religious interests of the Christian Clergy or priests word wide. The Congress of Bishops, the Council of Priests would represent the interests of the Clergy and the priests and legislate on the theological issues and organized like the Congress. The number of Congressmen or Bishops or Priests that every country shall send to the Congress of Bishops shall depend upon the number of Christians in various countries. Every country shall send Church Congressmen depending upon the population of Christians in that country. Greater the total population of Christians in a country, more Church Congressmen that country would send to the Congress of Bishops as Representatives. Church Congressmen or Representative directly elected by the Christian laity for a period of four years and they are eligible for reelection. The term limits for the Church Congressmen is two terms of four years each. Only priests eligible to contest and hold the office of the Church Congressmen or Church Representative. The Church Congressmen shall legislate whether to include Gnostic Gospels as canonical Gospels of the New Testament. The Church Congressmen shall legislate whether to expunge Old Testament from Christian Bible New Testament.
Six. The Ecclesiastical Court of the Church shall be organized like the independent Judiciary, free from the interference of either the Executive branch or Legislative Branch of the Church.
Seven. The principles of separation of power shall grant Executive powers of the Christian Church to the Head of the State of Vatican, the Pope and to the President of the Church of other sects and denominations. The Pope directly elected by the Christian Laity for the period of 4 years and he shall not serve more than two terms of four years each in his life. The Pope of the Catholic Church and the President or top leader of other Churches shall all be directly elected by Christian Laity worldwide on the principle of one-man one-vote and single district constituency system. No priest and clergy eligible to hold the post of Pope or President of any Church. The Executive Branch of the Church headed by politicians. The elected politicians shall direct the political activity and political role of the Church.
Eight. The Christian laity shall directly elect the Church Trustees at the World, Country, Province and Local level Trustees. The ownership title of all property of the Church shall be held in trust for the Christian laity and governed by the directly elected representatives of the laity. The Christian laity shall periodically elect the Trustee of the property of the Church time to time.
Nine. Foreign National Churches, State or Provincial Churches and Local Churches should be organized on constitutional principles and consensus one finds in the United States.
(16) Future of Christianity- Gnostic Protestantism is the Future
The religion that Jesus preached to the Jews based on the secret knowledge of Hindus and Buddhists and Zoroastrians is the thesis. The Christianity of Council of Nicaea that adopted the worship of sun god Mithra renamed as God the Father, and Judaic religious management as religion of sword, on the brand name of Jesus, borrowing Hindu biblical story of Krishna and religious con concepts of Mithraism backed by the Roman power is the antithesis. The reorganized Gnostic Protestant Reformed Christianity that believes in the God the Father, Goddess the Holy Spirit and Jesus as Enlightened self-realized Prophet, backed by the eclectic Sword of tolerance inclusion is the synthesis.
(17) Christianity is too important to be left to Pope Clergy and Church.
One. Philosopher better qualified than priests to interpret Scripture. Clergy has a vested interest to misinterpret Scripture for economic political and social gains. The theology of Salvation is too important to be left for Pope to decide by arbitrary ideas. A wrong theology of Salvation would send Christians to Hell rather than Heaven or Paradise after death. Either a Defect in Clergy or in Church could theoretically make a religion of God into an irreligion or religion of Devil. Faulty doctrine of Salvation could make a good religion into a bad religion.
Two. Only a Church Congress led by Christian Representatives directly elected by Christian Laity worldwide could decide on sensitive Christian theological issues and arrive at common legislation to make definitive statements on Universal Christian Bible Gospels Theology and Dogmas. No religion should be based on arbitrary ideas of the priests. Every world religion must satisfy the theological controversies to the satisfaction of the philosophers and scholars, as every world religion is per se logical and based on sound philosophy.
Three. Any religious doctrine that cannot meet the criteria of philosophic inquiry and spiritual logic must not clothe itself as a Religion and it would either be false religion, Irreligion or hoax of the charlatans. Religious truths are historically arrived after centuries of deep philosophic inquiry and deep spiritual insight and deep meditations. All world religions must meet this benchmark before they may call their faith the “World Religion.” Roman Catholicism and Orthodoxy must pass the test of philosophy and mysticism to get recognized as a legitimate world religion. Religions of Sword cannot get recognition as world religion simply because of the power of its sword in 21st Century.
Four. The Da Vinci Code has implicitly the challenged Roman Catholicism and Orthodoxy to prove that their faiths could philosophically and theologically cross the high bar of true world religions. The Da Vinci Code divides the Religions and Scriptures into two camps, namely, the camp of true religions and true scriptures and the rival camp of false religions and false scriptures. Every world religion must prove to its laity and believers that their faith is a true religion and their Scripture is a true Scripture not based on Lie or conjured up notions. The ball is in the court of Roman Catholicism and Orthodoxy and Protestant Reformed Christianity and Gnostic Christianity watching the turn of events very carefully, waiting for new opportunity to convert hundreds of million new converts to Protestant Christian Church sect faith and denomination. The fate and future of Christianity itself is at stake. Truth shall triumph over Untruth.
(18) Fundamental Human Right to Convert to Other Faith
One. Pope John Paul II, on a visit to India in 1999 said that religious conversion was a human right. Vatican believes that everyone should have the right to convert to another faith. Fundamental right of religious freedom includes the right to make authoritative critical comments on the scriptures of other faiths to encourage the people of that faith to convert to more advance faiths or better faiths.
Two. Gnostic & Protestant Reformed Christians have a fundamental human right to convert Catholics and Orthodox. It is better for the Catholic Church that Catholics and Orthodox convert to Protestantism than to Islam or Buddhism.
Three. The Da Vinci Code has permanently damaged the Roman Catholic Church and Orthodox Church and Old Church would never regain its past glory and dominance. It is in the interest of Christianity that Old Church gives way to New Church of Reformed Christianity. It prudent that Protestant Reformed Church and Gnostic Church rises to accept new Catholic and Orthodox converts, otherwise Catholics would convert to Islam. Catholic and Orthodox Christians have a human right o convert to Reformed Christianity. Dan Brown and Da Vinci Code have a fundamental human right to convert Orthodox and Catholics to Reformed Christianity by challenging the very foundation of Catholic and Orthodox faith.
(19) End of Time for Idea for Catholic and Orthodox Church
One. No power in the world can save the Idea whose time has gone. The 1989 demise of Communism and 1991 demise of the Soviet Union took place because the time had gone for the ideas of Communism and the Soviet Union. The Communism in Eastern Europe fell in 1989 without firing a shot and without any foreign intervention, because the time had gone for the idea of Communism and the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union ended in 1991 without firing a shot and without any foreign intervention. No power in the world can save the idea of Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism whose time has gone. The Orthodoxy lost in 1917 Bolshevik Revolution where Papacy supported the Bolsheviks hoping the demise of Orthodoxy shall empower Roman Catholic Church. Roman Catholic Church was damaged in 1870 when at the imperial orders of King of Italy succession of Popes were confined to House Arrest in the Vatican and Popes remained prisoners of the Vatican from 1870 to 1929. The Idea of Roman Catholicism and Orthodoxy lost its lure to the Christians as Infallible Word of God because of Da Vinci Code and Gospel of Judas.
Two. No power in the world can stop the idea whose time has come. The Idea that Catholic Church and Bible and Orthodox Church and Bible based on Lie is an Idea whose time has come. No amount of bloodshed can restore Orthodox Church and Roman Catholic to its earlier grandeur. The 1989 demise of Eastern Communism and 1991 Soviet Union occurred because the Idea of Capitalism, freedom and liberty arose in the minds of the people of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. All the weapons of the Soviet Union could not stop the fall of Berlin Wall and the breakup of the Soviet Union, because the time had come for the idea of Capitalism, liberty and freedom. Gnostic Christianity and Reformed Christianity is an Idea whose time has come and Roman Catholicism is and Idea whose time has gone. Roman Catholic Church was based on a Lie and it expanded and maintained itself by the power of Sword of the Catholic Church during last 1700 years. It is the power of the simple Idea of a fiction “The Da Vinci Code” that gave the idea that Roman Catholic Church and Bible based on a Lie. That idea took on a life of its own, and this idea would bring down the Orthodox and Roman Catholic Church to its knees. If Roman Catholic Church and Orthodox Church refused to accept the fact that the time has ended for its Idea and that the time has come for the Idea of Gnosticism and Reformed Christianity, then Roman Catholic Church and Orthodox Church would turn into dust, as happened to the Soviet Union and Eastern Communism. The Idea of Gnostic Protestant Reformed Christianity is the Idea whose time has come, and no power in the world whose time has come. The Idea of Roman Catholicism as well as Orthodoxy idea whose time has gone, and no power in the world can save the idea whose time has gone. Failure to accept the inevitable might be counter-productive and any use of force may turn Roman Catholic Church and Orthodoxy to dust earlier than expected.
Three. The Goddess has sealed the wombs of the white Russian women as well as the wombs of the white European Catholic women in Italy, France and Germany. Not only the time has gone for the Idea of Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism the Goddess has also sealed the wombs of Russian Orthodox and European Catholic women. No power in the world can save Roman Catholicism and Orthodoxy because the time of its Ideas is gone forever. The time for Gnostic Protestant Reformed Christianity has come and no power in the world can stop it. Failure of Papacy to give in to Gnostic Protestant Reformed Christianity may permanently damage Christianity and encourage disgruntled Catholics to convert to Islam or Buddhism or Hinduism. Church of Rome supported Ottoman invasions of Byzantium. Church of Rome used Crusades to undermine the power of Byzantium Empire. It is possible that guided by animosities of the Counter Reformation Wars the Roman Catholic Church might prefer that Catholics converted to Islam rather than to Gnostic Christianity or Protestant Reformed Christianity. Throughout history more Protestants died at the hands of Catholics than Muslims died at hands of Catholics. It is no accident that Muslims and Catholics have joined forces to demonstrate against the Da Vinci Code. Roman Catholic Church might prefer to weaken Christianity itself rather than weaken the alliance of purist exclusion intolerance fundamentalism extremism patriarchal monotheism among Catholicism, Islam and Judaism. To protect the vested interests of Clergy, Roman Catholic Church might harm the interests of Christianity itself. This is a choice Christians have to make themselves.

(6) Why Socrates Jesus Gnostics Murdered? (1) Absolute God Higher than god Zeus Yahweh Apollo Chapter 2. Page 20 © 2006 Copyrights Author Kalki Gaur, “Da Vinci Code and Gospel of Judas as Clash of Civilizations.” (1) Monotheist Gods do not Know Supreme God One. Even the highest god of patriarchal monotheist religion would not know about the Almighty Omnipotent Omnipresent God that also resided in the heart of every living being. The Creator god is a Junior God. Even Zeus and Yahweh did not know the nature of Real Absolute God. Philosophers are better qualified that priests to interpret ancient scriptures and define the concept of God. Socrates was poisoned and Jesus crucified because they made two fundamental challenges to the contemporary religious structure. Firstly, Socrates and Jesus argued that the God that Created the universe, the Creator god is a junior god and much weaker god than the Absolute god of the Universe. Secondly, Socrates and Jesus argued that even God Zeus, Ossir (Asur), Apollo, Mithra and Yahweh did not know the identity of the absolute God Brahman. Thirdly, Socrates and Jesus challenged the competence of the priests and clergy to control the interpretation of the Scripture and interpretation of the conception of God. The highest god worshipped in patriarchal iconoclast monotheist religions is not the highest Almighty Omnipresent God. (2) Higher Immanent God preached by Socrates and Jesus Two. Socrates and Jesus were murdered because they challenged the earlier concept that Creator God is the Supreme God. Socrates and Jesus were murdered because they challenged the earlier concept that even god Zeus, Yahweh, Apollo and Mithra did not know the nature and conception of Almighty Absolute Brahman, the Being that created all these gods. Socrates and Jesus were murdered because they challenged the earlier concept that the Absolute God resides in the heart of every living being as Atma Soul. The Kingdom of God is inside your heart that undermined the income potential of the priests of Athens and Jerusalem, because it would allow people to directly approach the divine without paying gifts to the Temple, Church or Priests. Socrates and Jesus were murdered because they challenged the earlier concept that patriarchal monotheist god Yahweh was in fact junior small gods much inferior to the Absolute God Brahman. Socrates and Jesus were murdered because they challenged the earlier concept that male gods had greater knowledge than female goddess. Both Socrates and Jesus believed that female goddess was more powerful and more knowledgeable. Jesus was murdered because Jesus told Jews that Yahweh was a very junior god and there are gods much higher and much more powerful than god Yahweh. Socrates was murdered because he told them that there was a god much higher and much more powerful than the gods that Athenian worshipped. Jesus and Socrates were murdered not because they wanted to launch a new Religion, but because they promted the concept of a new type of Immanent Almighty Omnipotent God or Goddess that was more powerful than all gods of the ancient world put together and that resided in the soul of every living being. (3) Zeus Yahweh Mithra did not know Absolute God Brahman- Kena Upanishad Socrates and Jesus had borrowed these concepts from Hindu Upanishad Kena Upanishad. Kena Upanishad describes that God Zeus, God Mithra and god Apollo became arrogant and thought that they had the power because of their own merit and that there was no god higher than them. Absolute God emerged in front of them as a Being and asked every one of them to apply all their powers to affect a small blade of grass that he placed in front of these gods. God of fire Mithra Surya Agni could not burn that small blade of grass. The God of Air could not blow away that small blade of grass. The god Zeus even could not see the blade of grass and that being disappeared. Then Goddess emerged and taught God Zeus about the secrets of Absolute God Brahman, who allotted to these gods the powers they claimed they were born with and he could take away these powers whenever he wanted. Kena Upanishad established that Goddess gave the knowledge of Absolute God to the male gods. (4) Creator God is a Junior God The concept that Creator God is much junior to other Gods is borrowed from Hindu Puranas. There emerged a rivalry between three highest gods of Hindu Trinity, god Vishnu-the sustainer, god Brahma –the creator and god Shiva – the destroyer. There emerged a Great Shiva Linga that encompassed from one part of the universe to another part, and it was decided that if Creator god Brahma or god of sustainer Vishnu could find either end then he would be recognized as the senior most god of the Trinity. Creator God Brahma faked that he had seen the upper most edge of the Linga and for this one of his five heads cut off by Shiva in anger. It established once for all that the Creator god is junior to other gods. The consistent theme of Jesus of Nazareth and Gnostic Gospel is that the Creator god is a Junior God than to the Superior God that resides in the heart of every man as Kingdom of god resides in the heat of a man. (5) Socrates Jesus taught about the highest Almighty Omnipresent God Jesus followed the example of Socrates by deciding not to run away from the looming death but to court death gracefully to fully expose the fallacy of the dominant priest class and the fallacy of the dominant religions and gods of their times. Socrates and Jesus were killed because they both had direct understanding of the real higher god than what was known to the ruling priest class of their times. Throughout history rulers used swords to impose their local god as the monotheist iconoclast god to ruthlessly destroy the worship of other gods and goddess. Throughout history philosophers have challenged the claims of iconoclast monotheist religions that its iconoclast monotheist god is the only true god and other gods are either false gods or no gods at all. Throughout history philosophers have claimed that the philosophers are better trained than priests, to interpret Scripture and study Religions and religious doctrines. Socrates was poisoned at the orders of the city of Athens, because he taught them that philosophers better trained to interpret god religion and scriptures. Socrates challenged that gods that Athenian worshipped were not the highest god, and there are higher gods than what Athenians worshipped. Jews murdered Jesus of Nazareth and his brother Apostle James the Just, because Jesus and James claimed that the Jews’ god Yahweh is not the highest god and the iconoclast monotheist belief of Jews that Yahweh is the only true god is wrong and that one can directly reach divine without the intermediacy of the Jewish priests. Murder of Jesus destroyed the political future of Jews in Jerusalem, just as the murder of Socrates sealed the fate of the Athenian priest class. Murder of Gnostic Christians sealed the fate of Christianity in the Mediterranean Africa and Asia Minor. Demonstrations against Da Vinci Code book and movie might also cause grievous damage to Catholic Church, Orthodox Church, Judaism and Wahhabi Islam. (6) Jesus Rejected patriarchal Monotheism Jesus of Nazareth and apostle James the Just were murdered because they challenged the faulty Judaic claims that their god Yahweh is the only true god and all other gods are either false gods or not god at all. Jesus and James were murdered because their conception of god was just opposite to the Jewish conception of patriarchal monotheism. The present day monotheism accepts the existence of three monotheist gods, three monotheist true scriptures and three monotheist religions, so even today they accept Trinitarian monotheism and it so happened in 2000 years. Monotheist Religions all worship personal god that is exclusive to them, and there cannot be three personal exclusive god in Middle East and all cannot claim to be monotheist religions and their religion only could claim to be true. To win the argument of victory of monotheism the three rival monotheist religions should go to war and destroy the other two monotheist religions and the winner only could claim to be the true monotheism. (7) Socrates and Jesus Rejected God of patriarchal Monotheist Religion as Junior God Universal monotheism implies not only faith in a single creative god but also faith in a god who is the uncontested master of history. It is wrong to believe that Monotheism is a later development in the history of religions than polytheism. It is not the oneness of god that counts in monotheism but its uniqueness. One god of monotheism is affirmed in Monotheism as an expression of divine might and power. The weakness of monotheism cannot answer the question regarding the origin of Evil or origin of Devil in a Universe under the government of one god. Monotheist religions falsely proclaim that monotheism is a self-evident axiom. Monotheism is the belief, in the existence of one god or that God is One. For Jesus and Socrates God permeate throughout Universe and these two are not separate realities. For monotheism there are two basically different realities: God and the Universe. The god of Monotheism, in Judaism and Islam is a personal god. Monotheistic conviction results in the rejection of all other belief systems as false religions and this rejection partly explains the exceptionally aggressive intolerant stance of the monotheistic religions in the history of the world. Monotheism’s depiction of all other religions as idolatry has often served to justify the destructive and fanatical action of the religion considered being only true religion. The monotheistic conception of god differs essentially only in one respect from that of other religions: in the belief that god is one and absolutely unique. (8) Jesus Rejected Exclusive Monotheism Jesus of Nazareth and his twelve apostles rejected the concept of Judaic patriarchal monotheism. For exclusive monotheism only one god exists, other gods simply do not exist at all or at most they are false gods or demons. While in the Jewish Old Testament the other gods in most cases are still characterized as false gods, in later Judaism and Islam, monotheism argued that their god is on and only god and other gods are not considered to exist at all. Christianity does not believe in the Judaic and Islamic conception of god as exclusive monotheism. Jesus and Gnostic Gospels rejected the Judaic concept of Yahweh as the monotheist exclusive jealous wholly other god. For Jewish monotheism Yahweh is the only god and Islamic Allah is no god at all and at best a false god. (9) Jewish Priest-Power system adopted in Orthodox and Catholic Church Jewish leaders of Christian Church rejected eclectic religion of Jesus and Gnostic Christianity as it harmed the incomes of the Christian clergy by encouraging direct worship of the Divine bypassing the Church and Clergy. The Jewish leaders of the Early Christian Church led by Sadducees converted to Christianity engineered the coup in the 325 Council ordered by Emperor Constantine to monopolize over Christian clergy positions to the detriment of gentile Clergy, women clergy and Pharisees clergy. The Jewish leadership of Orthodox and Catholic Church conspired with the Damascus Jews and Jewish leadership of the Mecca’s Islam to impose Islam over the Gnostic Christian Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, Libya, Algeria and Tunisia to profit Damascus Jews by the loot of the property of Gnostic Christian Egypt and Christian Mediterranean Africa in 7th Century.

Why this Furor over the Da Vinci Code? (4) Kalki Gaur Da Vinci Code and Gospel of Judas as Clash of Civilizations (2006)
(1) Clash of Human Jesus Vs Divine Jesus: One. The Da Vinci Code propagated the idea of “Human Jesus” in contrast to the idea of “Divine Jesus” that Bishops at the 325 AD Council of Nicaea conjured up and imposed by sword backed by the might of Roman Emperor Constantine. Offering, even in the context of an admitted novel, a ‘humanized' Jesus as an alternative to the transparent magic, miracles, and mysticism of traditional Christianity, constitutes a significant threat to that entrenched and ‘inerrant' point of view.
Two. What would, the idea of “Humanized Jesus” under normal circumstances be an amusing contradiction, caused such a serious, but predictable uproar by religious conservatives Catholic Church, Orthodox Church and Coptic Church over the audacity of Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code to propagate the Idea of a Human Jesus that was not “Divine Jesus” that took birth by the sexual union of mother Mary and father Joseph, not by the Immaculate conception of Virgin Mary by Holy Spirit. Gnostic gospels emphatically rejected the conjured up notion of the Divinity of Jesus arguing how could a feminine Holy Spirit impregnate feminine Mary to produce an offspring Jesus.
(2) Another Way of Looking at Christianity: Three. The mere suggestion that there are other ways of looking at religious history and theology is a major threat to Christian faith, and is, for many self-styled ‘true believers,' or true Catholics just too problematic to contemplate. Christianity like Islam and Judaism is the religion of sword and Catholic, Orthodox and Coptic Christianity throughout last 2000 years propagated and expanded by use of sword, fire and torture of pagans as well as torture of the Christian believers of rival Christian sects such as Gnostics and Protestants and non-denominational Christians. The Da Vinci Code unleashed a theological coup in the minds of the Catholic, Orthodox and Coptic laity that set their spiritual mind on fire and ignited in their minds a burning desire to understand the True Christianity, true Christian teachings and theology after they realized that organized Church had consistently fed them false Biblical story and wrong theology and doctrines. Spiritually alive Christian laity that accepted that there are other ways of looking at the religious history of Christianity, theology and doctrines refused to follow fundamentalist extremist iconoclast patriarchal monotheism. An educated open mind can never subscribe to the ideas of monotheism, fundamentalism and extremism.
Four. After all, it must be recognized that all religions had their source at some time, some place, by someone, who simply made it all up, in spite of our ‘other worldly' insistence to the contrary. The Da Vinci Code raised theological questions that questioned Christianity’s sacred myths, Christian laity’s cherished, comfortable, and private beliefs, and the Da Vinci Code was guaranteed to annoy, distract, and provoke the righteous indignation of the organized Christian Church that are bound to lose if their faithful followers started to ask their priests questions about Early Christianity and Gnostic Gospels.
(3) Da Vinci Code is Clarion Call of Reformation & Goddess: Five. The Da Vinci code threatened the tenuous grasp of Catholic Church on just what Christian laity should believe as a Catholic or Orthodox Christian, against an avalanche of possibilities that Protestant Reformed Christianity, non-denominational Church and Gnostic Gospels provided to the Christian laity. Da Vinci Code is to be taken as a serious challenge to Christian beliefs based upon faith alone and unsupported by an impressive body of existing evidence to the contrary. The Da Vinci Code is the clarion call of the Almighty Goddess and Reformed Protestant non-denominational Christians to demand reformation of Catholic, Orthodox and Coptic Bible, Theology and doctrines. The Da Vinci code is the first salvo in the Protestant Wars on Catholics, Orthodox and Coptic Christians in the 21st Century and the likely Counter Reformation retaliation by Roman Catholic Church against the United States, the bastion of the Protestant Christianity might cause full-scale hot war between Protestant and Christians in Europe, North and South America and Asia.
Six. For two thousand years, the Christian clergy has had its way, with their manufactured biblical story about a mystical Jesus. Catholic and Orthodox clergy told biblical story their way, as though it was the only way, to a captive Christian laity audience that never questioned what was handed to them as “The Word of God,” for fear of Inquisition, torture and deprivations. The power of the Sword and fire allowed Orthodox and Catholic Church impose its will on Christian laity. During Inquisition and 30-year Counter Reformation Wars the Catholic Church imposed Catholicism over Christians that sought to worship Christian Divinity in other way than what Catholic Church demanded. The Da Vinci Code book and its wider propagation via Internet and film allowed freedom of religious investigation to Christian laity worldwide that refused to accept the thought control and mind manipulation by Catholic, Orthodox and Coptic Church.
(4) Jesus would Reject Nicene Creed: Seventh. Even the religious faith of Jesus was corrupted by perverting it into a body of Christianity faith ‘concerning' Jesus that bore no relationship to his message and intent. This was done after Jesus was no longer around to offer any objection to what was done in Jesus name. Christianity was the achievement of other ‘interested' individuals, who fashioned it in their own image. Christianity propagated by Papacy and Orthodoxy is a conjured up notion of a new religion that Emperor Constantine ordered Christian Bishops at 325 AD Council of Nicaea to design based around the Roman god of Mithra, the presiding deity of Roman Empire as well as Persian Empire.
(5) Revolt of Catholic Laity against Papacy: Eight. The Da Vinci Code motivated the Christian laity to challenge the authority of the Christian Catholic and Orthodox Church clergy to speak for Christian God without being God, and to demand the obedience of the unquestioned obedience of the Christian laity to their patriarchal iconoclast monotheist exclusive proprietary vision of what they chose to regard as the Absolute Word of God from time to time. The monopoly of the Catholic, Orthodox and Coptic Christian Church to promote their proprietary exclusive monotheist vision of the Absolute Word of God constituted a credible and significant threat to Christian laity in quest of an honest faith and higher spirituality. Our problem is with individuals and institutions that have no hesitation in speaking For God, Without Being God, that demand our obedience to their exclusive proprietary vision of what they have chosen to regard as ‘The Absolute Word of God.' Now, that constitutes a credible and significant threat to people in quest of an honest faith and higher spirituality. The warning disclaimer, that it is a fiction that some people want to put on the cover of the Da Vinci Code, would be more appropriate over the door of some Christian Churches. Catholic, Orthodox and Coptic Christian Church should also carry a sign at their door that it is a fiction.
Ninth. "The Da Vinci Code" alleges that the Roman emperor Constantine called a council of Nicea in 325 AD to make Jesus divine. In Canada that found that 32 percent of those who have read "The Da Vinci Code" believe it is generally telling the truth. It is only in our lifetimes that pop culture actually asked the Church leaders as how the Bible texts became the recognized canon, and why and when.
Tenth. The Da Vinci Code alleged that almost everything our Christian Church fathers taught Christians about Christ is false. Bible is a product of man not God and that the Bible, as we know it today, was collated by the pagan Roman emperor Constantine. The Da Vinci Code contained "facts" that could demolish the foundation of Christianity.

Challenge of Da Vinci Code to Orthodoxy Catholicism (3) Kalki Gaur Da Vinci Code and Gospel of Judas as Clash of Civilizations.
(1) Deadly Euphemism of Fiction: One. The proverbial Serpent at the Garden of Eden was the Hindu Yogic Kundalini Spinal Cord the respositary of Divine Knowledge. The Da Vinci Code used the euphemism of a fiction to spread the true message of Almighty Goddess and real knowledge of the Christian almighty God, Holy Spirit and human Jesus that Christian laity are hooked to the Cocaine drug of Truth about Jesus and Gnostic Bibles that are a word of God not the Bibles that Catholic, Orthodox and Coptic Churches have proclaimed as the infallible World of God. By now, everyone has heard the arguments surrounding The Da Vinci Code. This controversial book and movie have been dominating the headlines for months in 2006. What, then, is the big commotion being caused by the Da Vinci Code book, and now, the movie? What is the danger in Da Vinci Code, something that is openly acknowledged to be fictitious? How can a work of fiction the Da Vinci Code pose a threat to Catholic, Orthodoxy and Coptic Christianity?
(2) Eve Ate the Apple of the Tree of Knowledge of God
Two. The Da Vinci code is like the proverbial snake in the Garden of Eden that told Eve to eat the Apple fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of God so that Adam and Even could directly understand the mystery of Divinity and God without the intermediacy of gold-hungry priests. The answer involves not only what is being said in the novel, but also how it is being said. It indulged with misleading portrayal on information in the fiction. There is little danger in a fictitious novel if its readers clearly understand that it is fiction. However, The Da Vinci Code mixed fact and fiction in such a way that much of its audience were not able to distinguish between them, and they all suddenly realized that Organized Christian Church, Catholic Orthodox and Coptic Church dished out false biblical story to Christians throughout last 1700 years and used sword and fire to burn and destroy true Christian bible, Gnostic Gospels and true teachings of Jesus.
(3) Danger of Eating Apple of Da Vinci Code
Three. Dan Brown did little to help inform his readers which claims are true and which he has simply fabricated. Rather, Dan Brown presented the material in a way that subtly suggests that it is all true, while in fact, most of the story’s central ideas are anything but true and written in the format of a religious thriller. The book makes false claims and makes up evidence to support them. Neither these claims nor their evidence have any basis in truth. But readers who do not realize that the evidence is false may be willing to accept the claims as being fact. In this way, The Da Vinci Code can mislead its Christian readers by making them question the very foundation of the Christianity, Catholic Orthodox and Coptic Christianity. Just as after eating the apple fruit of the tree of the knowledge about God, Adam and Eve learnt how to directly reach the Divine Kingdom of God that resided in their own heart, without having to pay the greedy priests for that knowledge. The keeper of the proverbial Garden of Eden expelled Adam and Eve from the Garden of Heaven after he realized that educated Adam and would no loner pay for the knowledge that they got by eating the divine fruit of knowledge. One can understand the terror that priests of Orthodox, Catholic and Coptic Church felt when they realized that the Christian readers of the Da Vinci Code would no longer blindly accept the teachings of Christian Bible and Church.

Four. Catholics might be able to read the book and watch the movie without a problem if they were fundamentalist, extremist, illiterate and closed-mind in their Christian faith. The problem for most Catholics today is that they simply do not understand their Catholic faith as well as they should, because Catholic Church does not want them to learn any thing new or learn about other religions. For example, many Catholics have never even heard of the three early Christological Councils and have no understanding of the early heresies that threatened the Orthodox, Catholic and Coptic Churches. Both of these ideas, however, are present in the book and movie, and the open educated Catholic and Orthodox Christian laity were easily be led on the self-discovery of Christianity intrigued by questions raised by Dan Brown in the Da Vinci Code. Even many well-meaning, devout Catholics lack education about the Church’s history and teachings. This lack of knowledge renders them unable to identify the false elements present in The Da Vinci Code, and this is where the book and movie can become dangerous to Catholics. They can lead Christian laity to question and doubt their Catholic, Orthodox and Coptic faith ruthlessly and if they remained unsatisfied by the response of the Church leaders then they may convert en-masse to Protestant Gnostic Reformed Christianity or Hinduism or Buddhism. Orthodox, Catholic and Coptic Christian Church have maintained thought-control over Christian laity by forcing them to read and see only such religious books as are promoted by Church and to ban or outlaw any such literature that could ignite religious thirst for truth and direct approach to the Divinity.
(5) Da Vinci Code is the Tree of Knowledge of God
Five. It could only be a divine intervention that just by reading a fiction, the Da Vinci Code the Christian laity refused to remain dumb driven cattle that would accept anything that their Catholic, Orthodox and Coptic Church dished out to them. However, The Da Vinci Code sparks a different type of questioning, negative questioning, which seeks to deny and escape from the truth that could demolish the very foundation of Roman Catholicism and Orthodoxy. The historical facts hidden within The Da Vinci Code might easily confuse Christian laity that are highly educated and read about Early Christianity. Christian laity readers who have open mind and are not fundamentalist with closed minds, and such readers may be led to question the truths of their faith and question the very foundation of Gospels, Christian Orthodoxy and Catholicism and Papacy. Their knowledge of Early Christianity may intrigue them to find the answers to these questions that the Da Vinci Code raised, and since they are highly educated and knowledgeable about Early Christianity, they will see through the misinformation and falsehood that papacy, Orthodox Church, Catholic Church and Coptic Church during last 1700 years dished out to the Christians to hide the origins of grand conspiracy, false biblical story that Christian Bishop conjured up at the 325 AD Council of Nicaea convened by Emperor Constantine. The failure of the Orthodox and Roman Catholic Church to faithfully answer the questions raised by the Da Vinci Code may then plant the seeds of doubt about Christianity itself in their hearts, and with no reassurance from the culture that surrounds them, their faith could be considerably shaken, if not completely shattered. The Da Vinci code has the divine power to destroy the very foundation of the Papacy, Orthodox Church, Roman Catholic Church and Coptic Church unless Christian Church leaders admitted the grand conspiracy they had indulged to impose the false Biblical Story and false theology and false doctrines on Christian laity by sword during last 1700 years.
(6) En-masse Conversions of Catholics to Reformed Protestant Gnostic Christianity
Six. The danger of Da Vinci is therefore a very real problem for Catholics. The Biblical and theological questions that Dan Brown proposed pose an imminent threat to all but the most fundamentalist Catholics, Orthodox and Coptic Christians. This is something that all Catholics, Coptic and Orthodox should be aware of and be prepared to address if they plan on reading the best selling the Da Vinci Code or seeing the movie. Even as a fiction the Da Vinci code with the grace of some hidden almighty goddess that the spiritual power to convert a few hundred millions Catholics, Orthodox and Coptic Christians to Reformed Christianity, Protestant, Gnostic or non-denominational Church during first quarter of the 21st Century.
(7) Dan Brown is Crusader for Gnostic Christian Reformation
Seven. Dan Brown’s questioning Christian faith is not necessarily wrong; rather, it can be a way to examine more deeply the truths of Christian faith. Such questions, when asked in the correct manner and with the right intent, can actually strengthen Protestant and Gnostic faith. This type of questioning, called positive questioning, seeks a deeper understanding of one’s faith in order to know and live the truth. Dan Brown’s questioning leads educated Christians towards Gnostic Protestant Reformed Christianity.
