I actually heard someone say this in my office...

"The DaVinci Code is trying to change the bible."

That's right, someone actually said that. Out loud. And was serious.

Change the Bible. How would it do that exactly? Get in there with a pen and cross out the bad parts?

I wonder what they said about The Passion of the Christ? Was THAT trying to rewrite the Bible, too?

The DEVIL is the EDITOR!!!

On The Passion... I'm sure that was just "bringing the bible to life!"

The same coworker also only wears skirts, apparently it says that somewhere in the bible as well.

That's how they did it the first time round.

It says that men and women should wear gender-appropriate clothing. As trousers are made for and marketed at women, it makes them gender-appropriate. Also, this is in the clothing and dietary code of the Old Testament, which "old covenant" was supposed to be rendered obsolete by the coming of Christ. However, if you colleague desires to follow the code, she must forgo gold jewellery, earrings, speaking in church, and mixed fibres in clothing; keep Kosher; must stone those who do not stay in their tents on the Sabbath, and remember to make burnt offerings to the Lord.
