I vote we not behead anyone,and remember it is just FICTION.

See previous post. The claim of "fiction" does not shield the author from the charge that he's spreading lies about Christianity. And furthermore, Dan Brown himself has claimed that his book is based on "fact" even though the characters are fictional.

Who's talking about beheading, anyway? The mere fact that a book and movie like this can be made which attacks Christianity without peals of protest from our "betters" in the elite media (as would happen if Dan Brown's target was the Jewish or Islamic religion), says to me that I'm on the right side in this. Christ taught that he world would hate us as it hated Him. Attacks like this are to be expected--and turned in our favor.

Let them continue making that claim. They're exposing themselves as the liberals that they are. "Christians shouldn't defend their faith. If they do, they'll just be like the Muslims who protested the cartoons of Muhammad." Give me a break.

Uhhh... all "fiction" could be described as "lies," as fiction tells a story that is not true.

And furthermore, Dan Brown himself has claimed that his book is based on "fact" even though the characters are fictional.

Now, THAT is an oft-repeated lie. Brown claimed that the art and architecture are as described and the 'secret' rituals are or were done as described, but that the story is pure fiction.

Remember a couple of months ago when the Muslims were flipping out over a cartoon depiction of Mohammed? Well now it's our turn. But don't let it get you so riled up.

It's a fictional story. It doesn't change the truth, and it shouldn't shake up your faith. The truth always stands up on it's own.

Lots of historical fiction takes a document or an event and "fills in" the gaps. That doesn't make it a historical account, it's just fiction.
